Topic Wiki

HTs have been last updated on 9/6/23

Q: I had deals posted to the main site, why do I have a zero?

A: It's not updated automatically, post a link to your deal on the forum(*), the DDMS link, and the number HT it should be and Dan will update it.

(*)If your HT is already in the DDMS post there's no need to link to the forum thread.

Hat tips are not awarded for:
-Amazon "Deal of the Day".
-B&H deal zone.
-Discountmags sales
-Credit card deals.
-Deals that are only part of a roundup.
-Deals that were posted as part of a master thread when they belong in a new thread.
-Deals posted in the following boards: SH, GD, TT, TDR, JS, or GFST.
-Deals that are posted with a thread title that doesn't spell out the full deal
-Back in stock/alive again updates within 3 months of the last update
-Deals posted more than 3 months after a forum post
-Updates to old post.
-Recurring sales such as 7/11 slurpee day, Rita's 1st day of spring, Nordstrom Anniversary, half yearly or seasonal sales, Flying Blue Promos, IHG Pointsbreaks, etc

Limit of 1 HT Per DDMS Post Per User.   

HT has always gone to who told me or posted first.
That includes but not limited to DDF, DDMS Comments, Facebook & E-mail.

There is no need to bump a request if it was made after the last updated date in this Wiki.

New Bump Rule: A bump counts if it's been 3 months since last post. Same applies for DDF, if someone posted it within the past 3 months they get the HT.

Neither get ht's. But they are appreciated.
So if someone posts a deal here, and by the time you looked at it, it was dead. Then few days later someone else says alive again on that post. Who gets the HT?

I believe what we've done was give it to whoever posted the deal that gets posted on ddms. If it died it's no longer a deal.

even if the OP deal was alive few hours?... that's bad luck.

I like the idea
the HT should go to whoever posted the deal originally

but would be a relabeling of the HT rules...

Rules are irrelevant in this case. Since the the MS says HT:Eliyohu, you got it! Just need to post here to get your count updated.
It's HT #1
Even if it was a mistake?

DD is pretty bad about clawing back.
Luck it is...
But who knows...maybe delete your post :)


The WIKI says (*)If your HT is already in the DDMS post there's no need to link to the forum thread. So at that point, I doubt they look into it too carefully.

It happened to me.
"LESS IS MORE" It is the cumulative effect that kills deals!!! How many times do I have to say this?  >:(
