Shilling & Self-Promotion
To maintain the integrity of Slickdeals and the trust of our users, all deals within our forums must be organically voted on by our community to be considered legitimate.
Please, No Self-Promotion
Slickdeals Moderators are dedicated to keeping track of all posting, voting, and commenting activities. Merchants are not allowed to post deals through alternative email addresses or through regular user accounts. Similarly, any type of self-promotion, voting, and/or commenting on your own deals is a direct violation of our rules.
If a Merchant violates these rules, the brand will be flagged by our moderators and a notice of violation will be sent. Further violations will result in suspension and a permanent ban from the Deal Specialist Funnel.
Fake Reviews and Votes
Any review or vote that is not made in good faith based upon the merit of the deal is considered fake. This includes any review or vote that is solicited, automated, fraudulent, retaliatory or provided for a fee or other compensation.
Please do not solicit or post fake reviews or votes.
Violation Process
- 1st Violation: Your first violation will result in a warning with request for acknowledgement of our shilling policy.
- 2nd Violation: Your second violation will result in a temporary suspension of 7 days.
- 3rd Violation: Your third violation will result in a permanent ban from the Deal Specialist Funnel.
We do not offer prorated refunds for merchants that are banned from the DSF.
