All aboard. ///// WHAT IT IS People like free records. People like to feel good about themselves. And people like to free up shelf space. Why not take the opportunity to enjoy all three of these luxuries in one single thread? +Karma Train is an ongoing giveaway of good feels and free records. The rules are simple: one item is offered up at a time, and will be raffled off through various means. Enter if the record appeals to you, but note that if you win, it is your turn to clear some shelf space and give away a prize of your own choosing. ///// HOW IT WORKS There aren't too many rules at all. The winner of each giveaway becomes the raffler for the next, and it will be up to them to set any specifications, which should be made clear well before it is time to determine a winner. Some things you may want to consider, if it is your turn to give away an album: Are you limiting your giveaway to members in your country? Are you willing to ship outside of your country, if the winner covers the costs? Should the winner be required to have a certain amount of posts? How many entrants will you allow? 10? 20? Everyone? At what point will you cut off entrants? Using a # cap? ("First 20") Or by time? ("One week from this post.") Do you have a mailer and shipping supplies on hand? Are you willing to cover the cost of shipping, or will you be asking for ~$4 to cover Media Mail? How will you draw names?* From a hat? Using a random generator? Name tags fastened to a slip mat? Most of these things should be established in either a post or a PM to yours truly. I will update the first post of this thread to ensure that we're all on the same page at all times. *If you do not have a method of drawing names, I will create a looped GIF to randomly generate names for you. You may draw or you may have me draw in your place. Whichever you prefer. ///// THE GREEN LIGHT • NEW! Effective May 19, 2014, there will be a new rule implemented to this thread. This is the green light rule, and ensures that no one is taken advantage of. The rule is simple: if you win a raffle, you will not receive your prize until you've submitted an entry of your own. This means that you must verify what you'll be giving away, when you'll be declaring a winner, and also confirming that you have both funds and materials to physically ship the prize out. If you do not have the means of shipping a prize, you will not receive your record. (And you probably shouldn't be entering in the giveaways to begin with.) Members who fail to abide by this rules of this thread will be added to a black list, where they will be denied entry to all future giveaways. All it takes is one member being shitty to derail this whole thread... so let's all be on-the-ball, and see how far we can take this thing.
