While I don't doubt that's true, it really looks like the mods are just asleep at the wheel today. When I last looked, there were no new posts at all. Of course it's possible no one actually posted, but given they didn't tell me the post was rejected let alone not approving it I am leaning toward them not being there today for whatever reason.
Maybe I should have posted instead to /r/GameDeals (or /r/GameDealsMeta). Oh, well- hindsight and all.
