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.

What means a Roundup?
A post that includes more than 2 deals in it is a roundup that wouldn't get a HT because the deal posted wasn't good enough or was just part of a bigger post. Or something like that.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

108? - http://www.dansdeals.com/archives/106954 - is there any difference with deal like this posted 2 weeks later, to any other deal posted with an update?

I doubt that this should be called a Roundup.

You would only get if you had posted both of them. I had at least 2-3 times where it was lost because not all flavors or varieties posted.

I think 50% of the post or more makes sense to get the HT, tie going to the user.

It's not 50%. I just didn't post the orange juice flavor since it was more expensive.

That logic doesn't work here. If I had included the Cranberry and Grapefruit you only would have posted 25% and wouldn't get a HT.

We have no way of reading your intentions.

Guess the rules evolve, wasn't that before.
