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.

Imagine a 9 year old had to wait 2 weeks+ after his 10th birthday to become a "double digiter" it's painful :)

Becoming 10 is a big stage in life that's why we break it in slowly. 😊

and imagine a new born had to wait 2+ MONTHS after his 1st birthday to register an age, how much more painful is that :)

Added.
The rule as it is now is no HT for a bumped post. Would also make the HT on DDMS messy. But feel free to petition @jj1000 for a rule change.
Why do you guys sometimes bump a year old post and then sometimes create a brand new post?
   For example thousands of products were posted on the MS from Amazon, so assuming since most deals from amazon were once posted no one's going to get HT for an Amazon deal it's always going to be bumped? Or if you say no then when is it a bump and when is a new post with a new HT being awarded?

  And regarding making the ht verry messy all you have to do is create a new post like it's a new deal and give the credit to that member(instead of bumping it).
    For example the clock which was posted on the main site few minutes ago that means even in 2 years from now no one's going to get a hat for it as it was once posted and now the price will just be going down and down and down and all future posts will be a bump?
