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.

Yes, but I have gotten on that type before, didn't consider two similar products a roundup when only 2 posted.
depends on what is the main deal.
JJ is saying yours alone he would not have posted only in conjunction with the other better deal it was worthy of posting.

PS. baby advil is not your 100th HT.
Please post a new glitch today.
Thanks

A 20% off coupon like that should have had a new thread. Why did you stick it there?
I posted the 20% off but I used one example to show what was a good deal, as there was a thread for it (the single item) and said when jj/dan will see that post they will see the main post about the 20%, and as you can see the 20% was written first in the post then came by examples....(as I said before I can only learn from my mistakes, and if I get punished from my mistakes I can't do anything, so you make the Decision.  :-X (my humble answer.)

  • 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.

But because it died 2 weeks ago this is considered a new deal.

based on this, can i get a HT for posting this deal to be alive after it died?

That was referring to a HT for a Original Post being rewarded to person B over Person A.
