This Month's Prizes
This Month
What is Karma?
Karma is Indy.com's scoring system for users. The more you contribute, and the more others respond to your contributions, the higher your Karma score. Write a review, submit a photo, respond to a post...watch your Karma grow.
Am I eligible?
All those with a profile are eligible. Really … it’s not hard.
What's in it for me?
The warm, fuzzy feeling that comes from making the Indy’s user-powered arts-and-entertainment site that much better. We also have a monthly contest rewarding one random user (with greater than 100 points). From time to time, our top users might also find themselves on special invite-only guest lists. Keep checking indy.com/karma for the most up to date prizes.
No really, how do I win?
The monthly winner will be drawn randomly from users that have greater than 100 Karma Points.
How many times can I win?
Good question. The same user can’t win two months in a row. It’s our way of sharing the love with everyone. Just because luck is on your side doesn’t mean you should get all the goods!
Why isn't my Karma skyrocketing?
Karma point tallying is an art akin to rocket science. We don’t just go willy-nilly throwing some points here and some there. If you make a contribution and you don't see it reflected in your total, our army of Karma scientists might still be calculating your points. Wait a little while and look again. Also, not everything you do on indy.com increases your Karma. Put a zillion comments on your own post, and your score will not magically increase by a zillion.
Why did my Karma decrease?
The Karma scientists giveth, and they taketh away. If you violate any of Indy.com’s terms of use (see online conduct), or if you dump a truckload of meaningless content all over the site just to increase your score, the scientists tendeth to get mad and punish freely.
I haven't done anything for awhile. Why does my Karma keep increasing?
One of your long-ago contributions might still be popular. See how users are responding to the stuff you created; that's probably what's doing it. Also, remember that part about how the karma scientists giveth? From time to time, we'll designate a particular item as a "bonus" item. If you responded to that item in the past, you may now find yourself with extra karma points as a result.
But I need to know more!
Seriously, check out the rules.
