Did you guys stop moving expired deals to the expired offers section? Seems like for the last week every 2nd hot deal I click on is expired. Some even have sale dates in the title that expired 2 weeks ago, others have DEAD in the title.

Seems to clutter things up now that I'm used to only seeing active deals...

Here's a VERY SMALL sample of that I'm talking about (and clicked on this morning):

People who jumped on the deal tend to discuss it afterwards which does nothing but bump the thread up and push down current deals.

Just my 2cents.

Whenever I find an expired deal, coupon, etc, I use the Report this Post link.

Straight from the forum rules (http://www.redflagdeals.com/forums/site-comments-suggestions/announcement-complete-forum-rules-tips-read-before-posting-updated-june-12-09.html):
To help out the moderators and to make the forum more useful for everyone, we'd really appreciate it if you could use the 'Report this Post' link on the left to let us know when Hot Deals, Freebies, or Contests have expired so we can move them to the appropriate Expired Forums.

speaking of expired deals, i would like really to see an "Expired" button on posts. rather than going through the steps of notifying an op, a simple one click method would be faster and more efficient for users. I see notifying ops as a function for more serious issues.

We've looked at and are looking at mods, but for the time being use the Report this Post function. Thx
