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.

why #91 already shows my name with the HT and #92 notice the Attn @ JJ he understands i hope
Sorry I meant #92 and #93 .

#92 Was a master thread where you gota have 50% of the post to get the HT..
#93 Was an Amazon post... yours was a walmart that was already in the master post...

Just my opinion..

Also your luck that dan gave you a HT for the bookcase post ... usually you gota have 50% of that post...

Not sure what you mean, my last price update on the OP before it went to DDMS was $30.06, And it was posted on the MS for $28.98 =$1.08 less then my post. Do you mean to say that  the $1 difference was the deal breaker to make it DDMS worthy ?

Paging @jj1000
There was a few posts  where JJ didn't count small price drops.
For example this:  http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=24150.msg1722435.msg#1722435
 I posted a $7 difference in price updates and it went to the MS right after my update, however JJ said that it wouldn't be considered a price drop and gave the HT to the OP. So at a $30 deal I wouldn't thought that $1 would be considered a price drop not to get me the HT....

the amount of work being put into HTs can not possibly be worth it or sustainable with this system

HT: 12HRS
