If any one is found abusing personally attacking, calling others deal bakwaas, or any rude language…. will be given 1 warning, and if repeated it will lead to 2 days suspension. And if repeated again then permanent suspension.
h4. Rules for upcoming deals
Upcoming deals can be posted in advance provided sufficient proof exists for the same (official communication on website, image proof).
Upcoming deal should have atleast following information
Product name
product link
Time/day as when the deal will be live.
Once deal is live Original poster has 10 minutes to update his/her thread with complete information(product link, exact price & shipping) along with final price to get dimes credit. Or else the first person to update thread with correct information will be given credit.
If the original poster fails to do so or if the deal is not live as per time mentioned by him/her,then that thread can be deleted/locked.
h4. When do i get Dimes for Deals i shared
For every deal shared, you will get dimes on the 5th day. Suppose you shared a deal on 1st, dimes allocation for the same will be done on 5th. Dimes is calculated by our system depending upon various factors like votes, hotness click, etc. So share good deals and you can earn upto 200 Dimes per deal shared.
h1. Reposts:
Expired/LIVE Deals-
If deal expired and goes live again, and the original post is not more than 10 days old, then creating a new thread IS A REPOST. Such threads may or may not be merged into the original post. Update the existing thread with a comment to help us.
If a deal remains live then creating a new thread for the same deal just because 10 days have passed by is considered a Repost. Such threads would be simply deleted.
Coupons –
If a coupon code can be applied on an existing deal making its price drop further and the original post is not more than 10 days old, then creating a new thread is considered as REPOST. Please just update the original thread with the coupon (Due dime credit will be given to the person who updated the post). Such threads might simply get merged into the original posts.
If a different coupon can be applied on a deal reducing/not reducing the effective price and the original post is not more than 10 days old, then creating a new thread is considered as REPOST. Please just update the original thread. Dimes credit will be given according to the rules. Such threads might simply get merged into the original posts.
Simultaneous posts –
If more than one user posts a same deal simultaneously with complete details, then the latter thread is considered as a Repost. Only the former poster will receive the dimes credit.
Please note that short-cut/incomplete posts submitted just to be the first one to post will not be considered even though if they are edited with full details later on. In such cases the next one who posted with full details would be considered as Original poster and credits awarded to him/her.
But if 2 or more user share deals with gap of 10 seconds along with complete details then dimes credit will be given to both users (but both deal will be merged irrespective to time difference). (But both thread must have complete details along with terms and condition, if any)
h2. Not a Repost :-
Price Change –
If a new price appears for a product at the same store/link (price drops to be specific), then you must create a new thread and it will not be considered a repost. You can also simply comment in the original thread. Though a new thread will ensure that other people are aware of the price update.
Expired/Live Deals –
If deal expired and goes live again, and the original post is more than 10 days old (it would say something like posted 10 days ago, 1 month ago, posted 2 months ago etc..) then creating a new thread is not considered as repost.
Ok, I am really sure I posted my deal before the other user. I want proof of the exact time of his/ her post.
To know the exact time at which a deal was posted: check the top left corner of the first (post) box below the title of the topic, you will find a clock-like icon. Hover your cursor on the text next to this icon and you will be shown a small box with complete time details mentioned in the following format:
Day, DD-Month-YYYY, hh:mm:ss +0530
Note: Since, we use the Greenwich Mean Time format, hence +0530 is mentioned at the end. So, add it up and you know the Indian Standard Time at which the topic was posted.
I just received a warning; it says my post is a re-post. Help me, I didn't mean to do it on purpose.
Calm down, the re-post warning is a reminder, in case you have stopped using the search feature to check if the deal exists or not. Nobody likes to see duplicate posts all around the forum and hence, repeated defaulters are given warnings. It may not matter much if it is your first warning, but we suggest you take the warning seriously and avoid posting duplicate posts thereafter. Getting repeated re-post warnings will lead to a fall in your Karma and your Ranking Level, and finally might lead to account suspension as well.
A post/ topic is deleted (or edited) mainly because of the following reasons
· Duplicate topic or re-post (the most common).
· Violation of Rules.
· Referral links in post
· Spamming in forums.
· Posting objectionable content
· Abuse in forums
· Third party links
· Post having URL of websites blocked* on DesiDime.
· Posting shortened URLs (links).
· Posting same deal/ topic in different forums.
· Posting in wrong forums even after repeated notices.
*Why are those URLs/ websites blocked? Where can I see the list of sites that are banned on DesiDime?
Basically, the error message appears for our competitor sites.
However, kindly note, we do not display any such blocked websites list on the forums (for internal reasons). We have instead designed the system in such a way that you will end up getting the error message for links from all those websites.
If you feel your post has been deleted, even though none of the above reasons apply to it, you can always ask us for help in the Questions, issues and suggestions for DesiDime forum.
h1. Validity Extended Deal rule
If a coupon/offer validity is extended from the same day its supposed to expire then that thread will be merged with the previous one. But if coupon/offer is not extended within 48Hrs of its expiry then a new thread can be created and it will not be considered as repost.
Eg :- If validity of a coupon is till 15th and offer is extended on the same day or within 2 days i.e till 17th then it will be merged with the old thread. But offer was not extended till 17th and it was again marked live on 18th then it will be considered as fresh post.
h1. Exception for (Flight, bus and hotels Deal)
If a deal is valid for specific time period. And it comes back with fresh validity.
And if user is able to avail the offer again then that will not be considered as repost. And it will be treated as fresh deal. But if same user who availed the deal last time and is not able to avail it again then it will be considered as extended deal.
h1. Warnings, Suspensions, Use of language and Content Filters
Do you give out warnings as well?
Yes, indeed we do. To maintain decorum in forums and to prevent spamming, we give out warnings to users who fail to abide by the Rules and Regulations of the forums. Please remember that when you are using DesiDime, you are agreeing to our Terms of use.
If you fail to honour this agreement, you will receive a warning from us. Repeated warnings might result in permanent suspension from DesiDime.
When do you suspend a member?
We have a strict “Ban on Sight” policy for:
*Spammers
*Self-Promoters
*Fake Accounts
*Besides this we may also ban:
*Repeated defaulters (users who received several warnings)
*Members abusing others in the forums
*Referral link posters
Use of language - Since its a community and dimers from all over the country visits hot deal section and hence we try to maintain/and expect dimers to use a single language (English) in this section. We do not allow text in any other language apart from English, and use of other language is allowed (but text must be in English) considering that is translated in English as well. If user is found not following the above rule in hot deal section, they will be given a warning and if found doing it multiple times then it may lead to suspension as well.
Can I post anything in the Dost & Dimes forum? After all, it sounds like a casual forum.
Objectionable or inappropriate content in any form will not be tolerated in any of the forums. Doing so will attract a strict warning.
So, we highly suggest you to avoid posting such topics, even if it’s done in good humour.
I want to report an inappropriate content/ user, whom can I reach out to regarding this?
If you wish to report any content posted by a Dimer or even a Dimer, himself for that matter, you can make use of the alert administrator icon, which is the Flag icon present in the top right corner of every post. Alternatively, you can send us the link of the post or user profile via PM (Private Message) or simply comment on the topic and tag an admin, and we will do the needful.
(How to tag a user or admin in your post: type @ in the reply/comment box and wait for a few seconds; you will get suggestions of usernames in a drop down menu, select the username and then type your comment or reply. You can also type @@ at the beginning and end of a username to tag someone.
Note:
i) Usernames are case sensitive.
ii) If you don’t tag someone properly, they will not get a notification about it and this may cause a delay in their reply.)
Please don’t forget to mention the link to the post or user profile.

What if people goes on guessing and posting deals saying it will be live Friday, Sat’day, xxxday ?? Isn’t that considered as spam, some penality should be levied in such cases where people post upcoming deals and they don’t go live as they informed

Yes, Mod sir. Don’t leave them.

bumblefoot ji, it can be called an upcoming deal only if it is posted in advance. If any deal is posted at the time of it being live, it cannot be called an upcoming deal. Hope you take this lightly. Your humour and sarcasm are welcome as well.

We have mentioned this
Upcoming deals can be posted in advance provided sufficient proof exists for the same (official communication on website, image proof)
so unless its officially communicated by website,how one can guess ? If still someone posts then it will be considered as invalid deal.

What about these, are they considered valid (no tradus deals are officially confirmed) so does that mean unless there is an image or some proof it will not be considered upcoming deal ?

Lets interpret that sentence in below context.
Upcoming deals can be posted in advance provided sufficient proof exists for the same
If it doesn’t comply that condition then such upcoming deals are not valid. Please let me know if i made myself clear.
rules are not clear to me
1.what is official confirmation means do you need written/oral confirmation ,will email do your works?
admin u r expecting too much yaar u need official confirmation for posting a deal :O .
2. what about images which has fake mega deal tag ?
can we say sairam’s word as official confirmation for tradus deals

No ji… You made yourself clear even before. But I was just kidding your employment of language. It looks better like this: “A deal can be posted in advance provided…” / “An upcoming deal can be posted provided…”
What do you think?
And also tell me why you did not reply to my PM that I sent a few days ago.

I think posting the tradus deal, there should be 2 things( in my view)…
1. coupon should be there( which we can call them official)…
2. date(atleast), should be there..
I think we are trying to solve the problem the wrong way
Why not just do the following
1) Create an upcoming deals forum. That way if people don’t want to see the upcoming deals they can stay away from the foprum
2) If anything there is not live in 4 days, delete it
3) First person who posts gets 10 minutes to update when the deal finally goes live
Today Tradus has added 4 items. All 4 are going to be megadeals in the next 4 days. Tradus will release the coupons in their own sweet time; some deals may go live on the same day but all will go live
Trying to frame rules to meet all these possibilities is next to impossible. We might just as well not have upcoming deals from Tradus at all
Even having the coupon is worthless because you do not know when the deal will go live and anybody who tries to say when it will go live is just guessing
That is why, the old way worked best. All the complaints arose because people said that the upcoming deals were messing up the Products deals section.
So the solution to that problem is simple; create a new sub forum
I think by trying to regulate the Upcoming deals by devising even more rules we’re trying to solve the wrong problem – something which isn’t even a problem in the first place
When Tradus adds new products, we know which ones are going to be megadeals (all the low cost items from 2-3 sellers).
What is not known at that point of time are the following items
1) Coupon
2) Price
3) Shipping cost
4) Date
Nos 2, 3 & 4 are known for certain only when the deal goes live. Everything upto that point is just a guess because Tradus has been been known to change all 3 even 5 minutes before the deal goes live
The coupon is usually known some time in advance but even that is subject to change (case in point MEGAD38 & MEGAD39)
Therefore, I fell there shouldn’t be any rules to regulate the Upcoming deals. Just create a new sub-forum where these should go
The first person who posts the product gets 10 minutes when the deal goes live
Anything not live within 4-5 days can be deleted
By sufficient proof, we mean that if someone is just acting smart and telling us that there will be Flea Market sale on shopclues this sunday and creates a new thread with hardly any information to back it up, we will delete it. We would definitely not give credit for random guess(es). We are not asking that OP has to furnish proper proof in the post itself, coz that proof would also be available on site (eg: Tradus mega deal showing mega deal tag on tradus website)
If you are genuinely sharing an upcoming deal, we (including the community) is smart enough to understand that… And you will get 10 minutes time to update it with complete details or else the next person to post proper details would get the credit.
