The Most Important Rules:

1. Respect Your Fellow Members! Don’t insult or harass other members!
2. No SPAM!
3. Have FUN!
4. Respect Your Fellow Members! Yes, it’s worth repeating!

1. Before You Post: General Tips

Put your best foot forward! Read the following tips before posting and you won't make a rookie mistake!

1. If you have recently created an account, but cannot post, it is likely because you did not activate your account. An email was sent to the email account you registered with that contained a confirmation link. If you have lost this email, please send an email to support@redflagdeals.com explaining your problem. The email must come from the email account you registered with.
2. Before asking a question, use the search function to see if it has already been asked and answered.
3. Before posting to the Hot Deals forum, use the search function to see if it has already been posted.
4. When posting your hot deal, your headline should include the items that are on sale and the price the retailer is charging for it. In your actual message be sure to include that same information as well as the retailers name and a link to their webpage if possible. To make the post as helpful as possible to other members of the community, see if you can cover the 5 W's and how.

13. Only one forum account is allowed per individual person. People found to have multiple accounts who are using them in a benign manner will be given the choice of which account they would like to keep.

14. We do not allow the discussion of illegal activities. For example, where to download pirated games or movies.
15. This is a site focused on deals, so political or otherwise controversial content should not be placed in signatures.
