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.

the purpose of this thread is to point out to the mods which HT's you believe you deserve. The ones that have your name on the post on DDMS "automatically" get added once the mods update the count

From my prior history of hat tips it never worked like that.

How so? You’ve had to even include the ones where your name was mentioned on the bottom of the post on DDMS?

See above
First of all thank you.

Secondly,

However, there is need to link to DDMS.

3: for my first ht I waited until the wiki said it was updated. My account didn’t show the ht, so I posted it here. I got it right afterwards.

Is that how you understand it? I just figured it meant that the system recognizes your name and will automatically give you the HT. As opposed to other posts where it does not have your name?
