Glitch Alert for None Glitch

All that glitches ain’t gold

I don't get annoyed but yeah loads of people don't understand what is a glitch. Too be honest I haven't seen any decent ones for a while.

Well I got the recent Xaomi phone deal which was a definite glitch which they still honoured for up to 2 handsets per address. I wouldn't use a glitch alert from Latestdeals though as the site has a huge number of fake deals. Still a great site but its not a site that seems to understand what an actual deal is.

Don't know whether this one qualifies as a glitch https://www.latestdeals.co.uk/deals/bumper-garden-collection-72-plug-plants-999-suttons-seeds-free-pp ?

Normally when you replace the "offer code " on gardening stuff with a "Free Delivery code" the offer reverts to normal price (as you cannot stack codes on these websites ) . I removed the "offer code " substituted the free delivery code and the price stayed the same , so I ordered .

Not sure if it is a glitch ,so didn't tag it as such , but certainly a great bargain .

Hi thank you for your Chat post, I agree it’s frustrating when things are not “glitch” enough to be called a glitch. The definition of course is a bit grey and means different things to everybody.

We are going to build the admin-ability to turn off sending alerts for specific members who may over-use the term. For example, if someone is a bit glitch-happy in their deal titles, we’ll make it so that alerts are not sent out for that member.

They can continue to use the word as they see fit, but others who’d disagree won’t get an alert about it.

That’s the plan anyway!

Think they just trying to get noticed never used it on post here myself

I was told by our (Moderators ?) that a well thought out chat post was a duplicate ? Yes beats me too ! Can only think it refers to this one - A totally different historic post - so apologies for hijacking it ! I'm sure you will forgive me Ann1984

My point. many deals referring to glitches/misprices are screen scraped from other deals sites / social media sites (as was the Currys Laptop "deal " yesterday ) . By the time it gets on here many thousands of orders will have been received .

I was advising members (amongst other comments) never to share a "genuine" glitch /misprice that you have personally found before receiving the item (if you want one yourself ?) . As soon as you share it ,it will result in thousands of orders (if it is a good one ) . Then your order and all the rest will be cancelled .

Many less savvy members , I saw the comments on the "Currys non deal yesterday - genuinely thought they could get the deal for £99 ! While some may have been trying their luck ?and ordering 50 to sell on ? I feel that many genuinely believed they were getting the deal . A dark day in Latest Deals and Currys credibility ?

I even reported it (but was told my report was incorrect !) . I think leaving that "deal" on for hours after it was taken off other sites shamed Latest Deals and it's Moderators and must have brought unfounded hope and excitement to many innocent Latest Deals members ? I saw the comments !

I hope Latest Deals will at least offer an apology to members for their "non moderation " and maybe members will be a bit more savvy in future into which posters they can trust - and which posters are just "click and paste " !
