  the 50 "most popular" codes are all well and good for most users, but what if you want to filter through the rest and look to make sure a good ones didn't get one bad vote and now isn't visible?

  It'd be great if there was a "next page" feature to see the next 50 most popular codes, or to use some client-side scripting to have it simply expand the current page.

  When I accidentally click X on a code, it disappears. When I really meant to click the check, there's really no way to "undo" the X click. A way to undo your last click would be handy.

  Throughout the day I like to leave my profile open and refresh to see what's happening. Sometimes it's fun to come back from lunch, hit refresh, and see that while I was out, someone voted "yes" on my code, earning me some points.

  It's convenient to scroll down to my last 5 coupons and see (2 yes votes / 0 no votes), then I know I just helped someone recently by posting that code.

  Being a stat-geek, I think it'd be fun to see where my recent points were coming from. I think bit.ly does this well: if you have an account, it allows you to see a bar graph of clicks over the last 24 hours, the last week, or the last 30 days. You can see all your links combined over any of those periods, or drill down to see how each submission did.

  I think it's important to consider how this might look on the pages of Shaunacy, Shanna95, Ingenue, etc, but there are power-posters on bit.ly too; their system for displaying metrics seems to be effective for posters big and small.

  We should be able to report bad comments so that someone will take them down. I am brand new to this website, but I am getting frustrated that when I read through comments about different coupons, I read a lot of mean, hateful things. As much as I love this website, I would really prefer not to read those comments. It's just frustrating and should not be on a coupon website. Thanks for your time.

  For examples, see the victoriasecret coupon website.

  I know that the printable coupons have to be monitored to ensure that things that aren't as they seem are accidentally uploaded, but it'd be great if the turn-around wasn't so delayed. Some aren't posted until they're expired.

  This could potentially be solved if there were more parties available to approve printables? Perhaps some site moderators?

  A way to filter valid and invalid down-votes.

  Many users, mostly the unregistered anonymous ones, will simply down-vote everything they don't personally plan to use, even when the coupon works. I guess most do it just to clean up their list. It isn't directly malicious, but they are unthinking and uncaring about how their votes will screw up the display of an otherwise valuable coupon that others might use.

  I think down-votes should have a reason given. If someone votes a coupon down, there would be a popup (just like there is for up-votes) asking them to leave a comment. If the user just closes the window, the coupon is removed from their list view, but the vote does not affect the rating. If there is a valid reason for the down-vote, they can say so in their closing comment and have their down-vote counted.

  This should hopefully filter out the invalid down-votes that people give just because they don't plan to use the coupon themselves.

  It would be handy if there was more consistency across the badges. For example there is a badge for regular coupon codes at 1, 10, 50, 150, 500, and 1000. Printable coupons only recognizes 1 and 10, though. There's a badge for 10 & 50 no votes, but nothing beyond that. These are just a few examples.

  One way to add badge levels without over-cluttering the sidebar would be to replace a lower level badge once a higher lever is earned. i.e. if I have the 50 coupons submitted badge, obviously I've submitted at least 1 and at least 10. Perhaps there could be sections, eg: Codes, Printables, Comments, Tips, Community, Specialty and the appropriate badges would be found under each heading.

  Have a Badge key so that we can know how to earn all the different badges. Like we know that the "Sharer" badge is because we shared at least one coupon. Make it so we can see all the badges and how they can be earned.

  I'm not sure if that's a good way to describe it.

  Basically:

  Votes from users who are registered with RMN and who have points have more weight than anonymous users.

  So, for example, if there's a new coupon at Sephora, and an anonymous votes no, it won't automatically be in the red.

  If a trusted RMN user with say, 100+ points votes no, that vote would be more reliable than the noob's and would possibly move it into the red.

  That said, there should be a minimum amount of votes required in order for a coupon to be pushed down to unreliable.

  Some stores have coupons that only work in certain areas of the country (like Pizza Hut, for instance). So, a user will post a coupon code that is valid in certain areas, but people in other areas will vote it down because it doesn't work for them. It would be nice to have a way for a user in Chicago to say that it doesn't work for them, but to not mark it as unreliable in Miami where it does work. All that would be required is that to vote on a coupon you'd have to either A) be logged in, or B) enter your zip code. When searching for coupons, you could enter your zip code (or just be logged in) and see the ones that are most likely to work for you.

  Since most Internet stores don't have regional coupons, this would be a feature that would be enabled on a site-by-site basis. There would be no need to require a zip code to vote on a coupon for buy.com, for example. I think this would mostly apply to restaurants, though I've heard that some brick & mortar stores have coupons that only work in certain areas (Sears, for example).

  It looks like you recently put a Flash "copy link and visit site" applet over your coupon codes (as seen on the hilton.com coupon page). Unfortunately, some platforms don't allow Flash to access the clipboard and the applet covers the text completely, so there's no way to copy the coupon code to the clipboard.

  Please restore the old functionality, where the copy applet appeared beside the coupon, not on top of it. It's irritating to have to write coupon codes down on paper.

  I'm using Firefox 3.6.8, Flash 10.1 r53, and Ubuntu Linux 10.04.
