OzBargain has gone completely downhill in my view. The current mods are the worst I've seen in 20+ years of forum usage. It appears to me that the founder has checked out and doesn't care. This inept... See more

Ridiculous moderation
After messaging sellers/buyers from classfield section I suddenly received a ban from private messaging without warning because "alot of new accounts are registering and scamming lately with gift cards".. yep that was there sole reason for my ban.
Great place for bargains
Great place for bargains, however the forums are full of rude childish bullies. I'm on the fence on this place. I think they should moderate comments better, and stick to the bargains.
Great Ducking community
Great community, saved me thousands, encouraged me to save hundreds!
Claim to be for the community but they…
Claim to be for the community but they are not. Mods and admins are happy to work for big companies but they dont help smaller companies.
Easy to place find real bargains
Easy to place find real bargains, just stay away from the politics of it all haha
All Sellers Stay Away!
This company has been found to be manipulative and run by a bush of moderators that truely have no life. RIP OzBargain. Look after your vendors and they will look after you. You think you're doing good for a community but it's more like a dictatorship.
Power trippin mods ruin the site
Potential for a great site ruined by power tripping mods who will ban you for no reason or if you disagree with them on random topics. Sucks. But you get a circus when you put clowns in charge.
toxic community - the worst of the Australians
if you want to see the worst in the Australian people, just go to ozbargain.com.au and read the comments or post a deal and wait for the feedback. Toxic community and the moderators don't bother. Some funny unfair rules that serve specific businesses.
The Site is full of negativity, TOO much dictatorship from admins, moderators
The Site is full of negativity, too much dictatorship from moderators. Seeing too often my comments would get censored by negative votes (when my comments are actually very useful to general public). Hence showing how illiterate the community is on this website, its full of garbage people and moderators. You can even get bullied and so much harassed on this website, and mods, and admins wont do a single thing about it
You are basically going to be banned if you think you can say whatever you want on this site.
Moderators and admins dont give a dam about you, they only give a dam on human traffic that this site gets, Hopefully this site will go down in future. If they think something bad posted is okay then its okay (as long as it's not an average person posting that like you and me). You complaining mods about a post not being appropriate will do absolutely nothing. But you getting a complain will trigger you a message from MOD saying we have been getting a lot of inappropriate activities blah blah blah from you., If This continues you will be banned.
Also be very careful on posting anything on this website as they will not take ANYTHING DOWN on your request. Also from my personal advice do not talk on Ozbargain private messages (THEY WILL STORE ALL THE DATA ABOUT YOU, and my guess is sell it to other companies). YOUR DATA IS NEVER PRIVATE ON THIS WEBSITE
Also generally speaking Ozbargain isn't even that full on bargains its mostly full of CRAP for a long time, with occasional good deals.
Run by dictators and not a true community site
Even if you follow the guidelines if a select few don't like what you post they get the mods to remove going against their own rules with nonfactual comments but you still get banned and their comments are allowed to remain, when confronted on why its banned they will eventually get back to you and say they have implemented a new rule just to ensure your post can't stay absolute waste of time unless your in bed with the moderators absolutely not community run as they choose what you see and it has to be what they want to see.
Great Referral Code
I can see a lot of offers from them, but most of the promotions are not relevant to me to be honest. However, I do recommend using the referral codes they offer and I often get a bit of sign up bonus.
Best bargain site in Australia.
Best bargain site in Australia.
Saved me thousands of dollars over the years.
The one-star reviews here are all from dishonest sellers who thought they could post their $2 iphone cases on there for $20, to make a quick buck, having a cry when the community dared to ignore their "bargain".
A bit like criminals reviewing a jail. It's not supposed to be great for you guys, LOL, that's what makes it so useful to normal people.
(Also the most popular general-purpose online forums in Australia, these days)
Terrible, don't bother contributing
Terrible. Randomly was associated with a store. When I enquired they gave me evidence that my IP matched another users when my IP was not even that. Seems to have some buggy code in the backend, its easier to just use the site to find deals. Don't bother contributing.
a site for little men with not much to offer
Is just a forum for men with small man syndrome or other small bits to be with rude/abusive/smart alec commentary to others to make up for their own short comings..basically a site for a bunch of rude males.
abuse of admin power
BEWARE IF you negative vote an admin account, they will directly ban you. you open a voting platform and you ban ppl cos they dislike your comment not even post.
Use to have lots of good deals, but not now anymore. Some of the stores use it as a marketing platform just post some poor quality deals. In this case, your event cannot give them a minus voting....
Too many unnecessary rules suffocate people
Too many unnecessary rules and adamant team makes it very difficult to sell through their website. They take advantage of having great traffic. They ban the stores for unnecessary reasons which are not in business's control and dont lift the bans even after requesting and sharing the arguments. Too adamant and rude team and moderators.
Thye suffocate the business and people running that
Admin/mods abuse their power and…
Admin/mods abuse their power and ban/penalty box for pathetic reasons. Clear humor and jesting, sarcasm, without foul language. Ban. It's behave like this perpetuates a lack of resilience and why terms like snowflakes gather momentum.
Very rare to see a bargain on this…
Very rare to see a bargain on this site, seems to be easily spammed by retailers.
The community is quite rude
The community is quite rude, mainly made up millenials by the feel of the site. Deals are negged and rude comments made. Used to be good but not anymore, normal people are no longer posting great deals and freebies for fear of being abused...
Corruption & exploitation at its finest.
Corruption and exploitation at its finest. The community will knowingly abuse a bug without a second guess - they have no regard for the damage it can do to business.
I used to be a contributor. Now, the vast majority are keyboard warriors with no respect for anyone.
Do not list your business here. If you find your business listed here, pull the offer. They are nothing but competition/offer pigs.
