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.

It wasn't a master thread. It was a thread with 3 posts about shoes. I'd think there's a difference... :o

The reason for the rule is how am I or Dan supposed to know there is a deal in a thread unless it's a new thread. If people see steve madden shoes for $15 thread they will open it, if people see steve madden they won't...

A deal like that deserves it's own thread so people see it before it dies.

You should make a rule that to get a HT the thread must have the words "SMOKING HOT," "HURRY!" and "LOWEST PRICE EVER!!!" in it, as well as the price. If this is not written in all caps, no HT for you.

But HTs are credited even for deals that are not "Smoking Hot", aren't they?

Unfortunately
Why say so? Dan tips those who bring him revenue (referral links etc.). A deal is considered Hot, Smoking, or Sizzling not based on how much money Dan earns from commission, rather by how much of a deal it is for the consumer. Hence, many times Dan can profit more from a non-smoking deal than from a really hot one, and therefore give an HT for it.

That's the way I understand it. CMIIW.
