How to earn Karma on Answers
You gain or lose karma on Answers by posting and voting. The following are the current karma rules:
if someone upvotes an answer, question, or app review you posted, you gain 15 points for each vote, up to 200/day.
if someone downvotes an answer, question, or app review you posted, you lose 5 points.
if you downvote someone's question, answer, app posting, or app review, you lose/spend 1 point to do so.
if one of your answers is accepted, you gain 20 points.
if you accept an answer someone posted to your question, you gain 2 points.
Clicking Accept
on an answer will give you 2 points.
this is good idea
