One quick question. Are self-nominations allowed/acceptable?


Yes. After nominations, polls will be conducted to select the winners for each badge.


I see. Well, that’s not a good idea. Based on the comments so far, many users feel they deserve a particular badge and will self-nominate them for whatever badges they want. This will not only murky the waters for the voters, but will also create logistical issues like an obscene number of candidates displayed for each badge in the polls.

Will you guys weed out people with only self-nomination or are you going to present them all as choices in the polls?

@DealSeeker out of all nomination we receive, we will create poll for those who were nominated by many dimers (no fix numbers for this). So in certain poll we many have 5-10 dimers and in few we many have 2-3 dimers. Totally depends upon the number of nomination we receive. We will also consider entries which are suggested by our mod team.

Yeah many of us thinking the same, what is the best way to award badges!
Voting power should not be given to newbies at-least, every one know what will happen.

All the above definitions are of my own opinion and may differ with the people/admin(s) whom you had tagged.

I also wanna check is there any update of the special privileges that DD promised to give for people above specific RANK i.e., Deal Major/Colonel etc., so that we/they can also supervise on the forum when needed. If there are no special privileges what is the use of these ranks and badges


Thanks for sharing your POV, bro. I agree with your definitions except for the one you gave for Coupon Baba. That makes it sound like a badge for the “Giveaway King” or something like that.

As for any privileges above a certain rank, DD does provide the puny negative Karma privilege for Deal Majors and above. The negative points we can give are laughable when we consider that even a newbie can offset our negative Karma points in an instant. I agree that badge owners or senior rank holders should be given more privileges. Let’s wait and see what the admins have to say about this.

Here are my updated nominations as per the badge definitions provided by @Nigel here: https://www.desidime.com/forums/hot-deals-online...

Standard Badges

Deal Hunter @rajfor deals @asm123 @Mr.RP @Amolverma.6 @kryptonite @Dealmafia

Entertainer @Plato @Tejaa @Noah

Coupon Baba I think this badge has become redundant and should be removed. Deals are mostly coupon based so DealBaba and CouponBaba badges both serve the same purpose. For the subtle difference that exists between these badges, it’s wrong to expect dimers to be watchful or mindful enough to identify those dimers who guide only with regards to coupon codes. Read more in the CouponHunter badge.

Perfectionist @Sudhakaran

Analyst @cybertechie

Blogger @Dr Anshuman @cybertechie @dharmanath481

Critic @dexter1989 @Magus

Shopping Friend @nibraselat579 @myliferockkss @VaibhavJain

Deal Baba Nobody comes to mind when I think of who does this job on a consistent basis. A lot of dimers come forward intermittently, depending on the deal, and taking only three names would be a disservice to the rest of them. Moreover, based on the definition provided, this badge seems to be very closely related to the “Shopping Friend” badge.

Budding Star @VaibhavJain @prebhartia @sidbhai

Deal Legend @sinha.vipul @Secretagent @Dealmafia

Community Angel @SmallKing @hese @parthponkiya8

Coupon Hunter I think this badge has become redundant and should be removed. Deals are mostly coupon based so DealHunter and CouponHunter both serve the same purpose. For the subtle difference that exists between these two badges, it’s wrong to expect dimers to be watchful or mindful enough to identify those dimers who post only coupon deals. Moreover, I regularly notice some admin users like @Shoaib Khan take coupons from the Hot Deals threads and post them in the Coupons section. So instead of giving nominations for this badge, I am giving 6 nominations for the DealHunter badge. I leave the job of discerning who has mostly posted coupon deals on you, the admins, should you choose to keep this badge despite my objections. My suggestion would be to replace this badge with a “Budding DealHunter” badge for the up and coming deal posters.

Custom Badges

Dimer Prodigy @sinha.vipul
Reason: The dictionary defines the word prodigy as “a person, especially a young one, endowed with exceptional qualities or abilities.” He came, he learned, and he contributed 200 FPDs in 6 months! As it stands right now, he received 259 FPD credits for the 385 deals he posted in the Hot Deals section — that’s a hit percentage of more than 67%. In other words, 2 out of every 3 deals he posted became FPDs. Nobody can even come close to that! His contributions outside of the Hot Deals section were also exemplary. He is the only dimer who has performed so well, most likely in the entire history of DesiDime.

Niche Contributor @DJRohan @Nauticalwriter
Reason: They deserve special praise for their consistent contribution to the Udemy thread. This is the second year I am nominating them for this badge and that should tell you how much they deserve it. https://www.desidime.com/forums/freebies-all-fre...

Best Channel Operator 2015 @VaibhavJain
Reason: He spent a lot of time browsing through each new deal and sent quick alerts throughout the year.

Missing in Action (or MIA) Captain now @Spock
Reason: People complained of him writing in a superfluous or cryptic language. But nobody can deny that he always added different and thought-provoking perspectives on things, which often did not gel with the popular opinion. His lack of open participation is definitely missed by some of us who chose to read through the superfluous language and uncover the thought-provoking discourse.

Subject Matter Expert (or SME) @PaytmKaPoojari @dexter1989 @gurucoupon @masthead1
Reason: PaytmKaPoojari for his expertise with regards to Grofers. dexter1989 for his expertise with regards to Woohoo. gurucoupon for his expertise with the newly popular Little app. masthead1 for his expertise with regards to the eCommerce startup scene.

Special Mentions

I have only nominated from the current lot of active dimers with the exception of two users whose earlier contributions could not be ignored. There are a lot of users who I would have nominated for different badges if they were still active. Notably, @Bagpiper @farzimaal @Zubies @goss8877 @TronGalaxy @Rd Singh @ankurjpr @Achilles. I would also like to mention that I would have nominated @B@R_0_0_D for the Blogger badge iff he were sharing his own original ideas or content.
