Moderators delete too much content. If you mention a comment that goes against a website or company they make money on they get very upset and ban your account. Hot UK deals are overly moderated, they don't care about the user and instead allow deals that bring them money in even if they are a poor retailer. A shell of its former self.

Absolutely Nothing... Yet another affiliate website built by money hungry geeks with no understanding of win-win, nor focus on providing any value whatsoever to the user. Customer Support? forget it... The site does one thing, accumulate accounts which are worth X pounds each or collectively millions, with the ultimate goal of one day selling the company. As an account holder you take time out of your day to find a deal, post it on the site and get zero reward apart from hot or cold votes and a "badge". And the company makes big commissions for each sale made as a result of someone clicking from Hot Deals to the deal website and buying. If you create an account and need help, forget it. If you want every deal, every comment, every vote or action you take monitoring or moderating not only by staff but by die-hard users and in the most condescending and aggressive way, Hot Deals is the place for you. Want your account removing, username changing or posts deleting? Absolutely no chance, as your account = lead = value to the company. They will not budge on this Modern Day Tech/Websites AKA a lovely welcoming benefit orientated facade with lucid and vivid design, driven by neurotic, sociopathic, money hungry geeks sat at a PC with sweaty armpits. Your call...

A site that had great potential until greed, power and control took over. If the politics behind a company don't bother you, and you just look in for a bargain, I'm sure it will be of use. Just realise that not all bargains are what they seem. Although the site does have many users posting great deal. Many deals are just made up for that site and the retailer pays for the privilege. Fair enough you may say but it's all done in such a cloak and dagger way. They aren't even a UK company, much as they would like us to believe they are. I've set up an fb group for anyone with issues who would like to discuss them in a more appropriate place.

HUKD is a cashback site but they keep the cashback As soon as a deal is posted the so called "Mods" change the link to their affiliated link so that if anyone buys something HUKD get the cashback. The Mods are probably paid commission on how much revenue each link generates. They frown on cold votes as this discourages people from using the link You are better off just using the site to spot deals then going to a Cashback site such as Imutual,Topcashback or quidco to make your purchase

HDUK is good for hunting out a bargain but not for the bargain finder, I have posted a few deals since joining and the same thing happens again and again and thats voted cold for no reason, even when asked why for the cold votes you get no answer, even if it is the cheapest around if someone doesn't like the product they vote cold. I have now given up posting deals what is the point?. If they could implement a way where users have to give a reason for the cold vote then maybe that would help.

Used to be a fantastic website, where people helped each other out, unfortunately that home has long gone. A few non stop posters take great delight in belittling and spreading untrue rumours about others. Said bossy poster needs to take a break from arranging there online affairs and get a real life.

Used to be a fun community with a great deal of bargains to be had. Sadly the website has declined, mostly due to an influx of Scottish posters who delight in belittling others. I have been cyber stalked from this website and my personal information used by these sad individuals for their own gratification. Terrible moderators don't ban these individuals.

Hotukdeals is a web site where people post deals they find in store or over the internet. It also allows you to rate the deal and comment. Most of the posted deals are usually in store, or some misprice that you'll never see as it won't be availible in your area. I've been browsing it for a long time and never found anything decent. mostly 3 for 2 deals at play for example, nothing special. More importantly they must have lack security as my account was hacked from some user who must of disagreed on something I wrote on the web site which lead up to further problems, I even had cancelled my credit cards just to be safe. ------- I would avoid this web site if possible, The mod staff are ignorant and ignore even at a time of crises such as a hack. The community overall isn't much better with alot of different opinions leading to confrontations. Also they mistakenly suspend or ban people for thinking they have more than one account in their household, the only way I imagine they could even know this is if they are monitoring IP addresses which is definite cause for alarm. Plenty of more pleasurable places on the internet to find a bargain, Definatly best avoid this one..

Hotukdeals is in theory an excellent idea. Get everybody to post any freebies, discounts or deals they have found - so that everyone can share in the deal. They have different sections for diafferent options such as a page for Freebies, another for voucher codes, etc. So all is well OK? Well not really, you see the trouble with Hotukdeals is the strict moderating team. I recently placed a deal for a possible free deal (or at least one pound off) and it was removed, because the moderator said you needed to download softeware in order to get the deal. You didn't. As I had made clear in my post, you can opt for a free coupon to be sent direct to your house. I am aware of a lot other members who have had similar done to them.

I get the fact that you need moderators and that they need to realise any potential breaches in terms or conditions etc. But surely it is up to indivuals whether they downlaod a small piece of software OR opt to have it sent by post OR indeed ignore the deal altogether. It was a legal deal which didn't breach any terms and one that anyone could easily have got to via the hosting website.

So to sum up, it is good for getting freebies and bargains that are allowed, but for those that aren't go elsewhere, Hotukdeals IS NOT the only website for such deals

Hot UK deals is a site I randomly came across a couple of years ago, and have been using for a while now. I like the fact that the community is really active, and there's loads of great deals that are added hour by hour.

The main down side of the site is that there are possibly too many deals on the site - and so it's really difficult to find the really good deals.

That said, the community generally help dig out the best deals meaning that you'll eventually find the good stuff.

On the bad side again, there's issues with cliques within the community - however as long as you ignore the bad comments, the experience is a really good one!
