Are you sick of hearing about Spots? I’m sure you are. I’ll try to keep this short.
Here are the new new Spots rules:
Please use Spots for:
1) Bookmarking items for future drooling and / or purchase (these can be special items or everyday items)
2) Highlighting something so special and amazing that you want other shoppers to see
Please do not:
1) Use Spots as a means to advertise, market or promote your business
2) Solicit Spots from shoppers or friends for any particular listing (your own or otherwise)
I am not going to be prescriptive about who’s items you can and cannot Spot. Just please use your judgment in following these guidelines.
There has also been some confusion about Spotting amazing items versus run-of-the-mill items. Either type of item is totally fine *as long as* it fits in with our new Spots rules.
As a gift for putting up with all this Spots nonsense, I’ve increased the number of Spots retained for each shopper from 10 to 20. Hopefully that makes up for some of the mental stress and silly emails regarding the “Great Spots Debate” 😉
And just a little update — I’ve been progressing on coding our new feedback system. Hopefully it will be installed within a month or so.
Thanks!
