Title: Karma IV
Post by: Dunkel on July 27, 2015, 05:07:11 pm
What is KARMA?
It is a random FREE give away to benefit the forum community.  It is also a way for members to give back to the forum community.

This KARMA is for a frame rest.  I have used it a couple of times and love it but can't remember to take it to different places. It's been left outside a couple of times but pretty much new.

How it works:
To be eligible you must have made 20 posts before August 1st, 2015
To enter, you must reply to this post
Only one entry per person,  if you reply more than once, only the first reply will count
On or after August 15th, at a time of my choosing, I will use random.org to pick a winner.  It will go by "reply #" as defined by the forum.
I will contact the winner by Private Message and the winner has 24 hours to PM Me back with their address.
Must be US or Canadian resident.
   
Some ground rules for future Karmas if anyone is compelled to give back to the forum community.
Let's try to not have more than one Karma going at a time, so try to wait until previous Karma is complete
Giver of Karma covers shipping - lets not get into exchanging funds and the hassles and issues that can come along with that
Item does not need to be beekeeping related, but that is always a plus
Item does not need to be new, but should be in good shape and usable.  So dig out all those things you purchased and tried and now sits collecting dust
   

Please use this thread for Karma entry only.

John Lennon thought 9 was a significant number.  Maybe it will be lucky for me!

Thanks Dunkel!  My lucky day.  Am I to host the next Karma and how do I do it?  I have something very different to offer, but bee related.

I don't believe you have to Bakersdozen. You can if you want to, unless someone else beats you to it.
Title: Re: Karma IV
Post by: riverbee on August 19, 2015, 12:21:49 pm
bakers, like perry said, up to you! and unless someone else beats ya' to it!........
how to do this...........one of us in admin/mods was supposed to start a thread on 'how to'.......... :-[ oops.
anyway, it's easy. here is robo's original karma, really, just copy and paste the post into the body of your post, or use dunkels as a guide also. 

First Karma Offered By Robo (http://www.worldwidebeekeeping.com/forum/index.php/topic,3944.msg53872.html#msg53872)

the next karma would be #5, or if you or anyone would like just entitle your thread KARMA and the item like robo did, or the number 5.
also, we should stick with the eligibility requirement of 20 posts to the forum prior to the karma offering, so for example, if one started a karma today, use today's date as 20 posts prior to today's date~ie 20 posts before august 19, 2015.
also, you can decide how long you want the karma to run.
to choose a winner, go to random.org:

Random.org (https://www.random.org/)

on the home page of random.org, in the top right hand corner is a 'True Random Number Generator'.  just change the second value (Max) to the number of replies to the karma~ so if one had 15 replies, the MIN box would have '2'  (don't include your first post) and the MAX box would have '15'. once the values are entered, just hit the button 'generate', and it will give you a random number between one and fifteen, use that number to match to the reply, so if the number is 7, choose reply #7.  also, just take a screen shot of the result, and upload it to your announcement of the winner.

hope this helps?  and if anyone has questions please let one of us know!
