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 point of the post isn't 25% off JAB, it's $11 non-irons.

I find it hard to understand how anyone gets a HT then. If finding the deal isn't enough, I also need to experiment with adding different items to my cart to see the prices?

Last time I posted about the Brooks Brothers deal but neglected to include a link (which wasn't available until a day or two later) and didn't receive a HT for that. This time I posted a link about a deal, and even had the original post edited by you to make it a DansDeals.com link. The fact that I didn't post exact prices seems to be a bit too demanding.

But who am I to disgree anyways.

And yet, people have figured out how to get 100+ hat tips...

A hat tip is given for something that leads to a post.

The BB in store post didn't lead to a ddms post. I found it was available online just an hour before shabbos. Would have been much better to know about it earlier than that, but I happened to stumble on it then.

25% off JAB isn't worthy of a post. $11 non-irons is.

Pretty simple actually.

However, I do take that this deal was only discovered due to my link.

But it's your forum, so your rules.

not sure how that works?
Roundups are for items that generally aren't solid enough to be featured on their own, so no HTs for them. But you got the HT for the one that was featured.

I commented here about Target. Now I see that it is in the post itself. Was it later edited?
http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/79780#comment-1256105

if so, I'll take a HT for this one-please-
