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.

I think the policy will be whoever posts a deal first from any store gets the HT even if we only post it from a different store. We of course appreciate and encourage posting sales from all stores.
In that case, please relocate this HT.

Only if the second person brought forward a better store

I've seen double HT's. On rare occasions

And if you post a lower price you don't get HT either I've seen.

No need to post the ddf link if you are in the DD link.

HT's may be a bit slow the next week.

Great deal btw :)

Noted, no problem, and thanks :)

curious question, so by your reasoning should this qualify for a HT ?

So if a deal is dead, and you point out that it's alive again on the main site, that doesn't count, but if you say it on DDF it does?
