We’ve just shipped the user @mentions feature, and it seemed good to use it here to make sure prize-winners know to update their payment information. (To receive a prize you’ll need a PayPal account, and to enter your email and/or paypal address here) [edit: was initially wrong link, but fixed now]
Folks listed below, I’ll be sending prize info shortly.
(Note: admins are allowed to send lots of @mentions, but generally our plan is to limit it to 3 for most users for most contexts. Please do not @ people in a spammy fashion. Users can disable @mention notifications if they’re annoying. We’ll be looking into various options to ensure it does’t get out of hand or annoying. Let us know if there are any issues)
Just to confirm can we still review posts in hopes of receiving prize money?
There is a post I wanted to review but never got around to and eventually gave up on, but I would be motivated to write the review that I never wrote if we can still win the prize money for reviews.
[I’m a poor student without a job, and $100 for a couple hours work is a pretty big deal for me.]

Yup, still appreciated.
Added my paypal info.
I did not expect to receive a prize lol; I never set out to write a review. 😅
Wait what? I didn’t write any reviews though?
You did! (it was a self-review, but I still think those are valuable)

lol oooooh ok. i think i stored that in my memory as closer to “a keyboard mash” than “a review”, but i see what you mean.
I found it was pretty valuable as keyboard mashes go.
