How to improve the Hot Offers thread idea?
-
This is a thread to discuss how we can improve the Hot Offers thread, which I originally proposed as a place to post up offers and arb opportunities so that people could be *notified* whenever a new offer was added to the thread.
This was to make sure that we all get on as many decent offers as possible, and to ensure that we had a central place to share great offers in our lovely wee community here on Matt’s site.
The original thread is here, in case you have no idea what I am talking about…

It only works (well) if people refrain from asking questions, posting ‘thank you’ replies and stick to the golden rule of only posting offers 😉
On the flipside, people should be able to ask questions, poke holes in theory and offer thanks when they want to… (just not on that thread! haha!)
Other problems with the existing thread:
– the initial (and ongoing) swathe of “I’m in” posts just to subscribe (partly my fault as I did mention this as one of the ‘sign up’ options in my OP)
– it is getting really long making it slow to open and hard to navigateNow, firstly, whatever we come up with, people should SUBSCRIBE to the thread by clicking the Subscribe button, as opposed to replying to the thread.
Personally, I like the idea that somebody suggested which was basically:
1. Have a separate Hot Offers thread each month (I am happy to be responsible for creating these)
2. If you want to share a deal, then you would create a SEPARATE, dedicated thread just about your deal (which could be home to any discussion, questions, thanks, etc…)
3. You then post a link to your thread in the main Hot Offers thread, thus making sure that anyone subscribed to that thread will see the deal/offerWhat do you all think? Any better/different/other suggestions?
