You get Karma for every up vote i think and I'm not sure but i think you lose karma it someone down votes your post or comment. Something like that.

Close but not 1:1

• *The Karma Formula** has not been released by Reddit and appears to be quite complex. Some known things:

• Karma is not 1:1 with votes. You get less karma than votes.

• It does appear to have diminishing returns on any specific comment or post. A comment going from 1->10 upvotes gets you more karma than when that same comment goes from 101->110 upvotes

• Upvotes on comments and posts seem to be roughly the same

• The starting upvote each comment and post starts with does not build karma.
