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.

Good deals need new threads.

It's called a master thread for all deals to be posted there. Not that it would have made a difference today anyway with the hundreds of new topics being started.

Discussed more here - http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=62978.msg1481269#msg1481269 .

Master threads are for ordinary deals that you don't think are DDMS worthy.

I only ask for the ht that jj would give to me, because dan usally applies the ht before it's even posted to the ms, when ever I see my ht count go up I know dan liked my post.

Now I'm going to have to count my ht to see if they were all given? Or dan just posted it first then went and gave you a ht?

Some say I am Marco Polo
Others say I am batman

I on the other hand can not claim to be batman

But I will tell you this batman and I were never seen together

Same can be said about Marco Polo and I

What good is it to start over when you could have hit 200 ht and got $2,000 why would you want $1,000 instead? Lol

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Now that I've ruined my perfect streak of no HT's, I may as well get credit for this.
