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.

If your name is in the DDMS post, no need to link to DDF in this thread.
K. I remembered having 8 before but I could be mistaken.

I mean, post here. But only post the DDMS link if it has your name.

When people post the DDF and DDMS link it's because they didn't get credit on DDMS so they are showing they posted on DDF first for the HT.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

Alive again deals get HT credit if they have been dead for 3 months.
Does the same apply if it's a lower price than last time? (within 3 months)

Does this count as a HT?

https://www.dansdeals.com/shopping-deals/amazon/aukey-true-wireless-bluetooth-earbuds-charging-case-22-94-shipped-amazon/

The "also on sale" headphones is from my DDF post.

https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=123246.0

If yes, #19.
Unfortunately it does not.

@Dan @jj1000
Does one get a HT for a deal that was posted in the past 3 months, but is now cheaper? (as apposed to a back in stock deal)
YMMV depends how significant the drop.
More


Now while your at it, I was left hanging on this one :)
Who gets the Credit?

If a deal is posted on DDF but didn't make it to DDMS, then it gets bumped by another person (within 3 months) and goes on DDMS.

What about a drop from $120 on a previous deal to $110 now?
My understanding is not, but I'll gladly you give you one of mine :)
