Just a minor gripe. Please, when you offer a karma and pick winner(s), update the thread title to indicate that winners have been chosen. I generally do not go back into karma threads once I have entered to "check if winners have been chosen". If the title has not been updated, I assume the karma is still open and running.

Please include me in your generous karma!


Oh, wait, I was supposed to read farther than Karma before posting?

one of the things I do when I check SigForum is to do an advance search on my name in case someone wants to tell me something in response to a post.

If your name is called out in a karma, doing the search will also bring up that thread.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

If you win - they'll email you. That's all I need to know.

^^ THIS ^^

My link to Sigforum is the advanced search of my name spelled correctly and the most common mispelling. I missed a karma once because somebody mispelled my name and didn't e-mail. They selected someone else when I didn't respond in the post.

I've been updating the thread title since I started. I normally also send out an email if one is provided. Haven't missed a winner so far.

Even so I've had a couple instances of people entering a contest after it's been closed in the title. I suppose I could request a thread-locker, but if you're not even going to work that hard....

I'll go along with petty. But it just seems simple courtesy if you are going to offer a karma, you provide some easy way for the winners to know they have won. Having to keep checking the thread is a non-winner.

Works both ways. I can't tell you how many Karma's I've sent out and I hear nothing from the recipient. I have to ask if they received it okay. Big Grin

Why many Karma entry requirements ask for email in profile.
