Explanation:

Level badges are awarded based on the total amount of karma you have accumulated in a specific subject.

You earn karma by writing answers or by editing answers written by someone else. Each answer will get you #+50# karma points and each first edit on another person's answer will get you #+20# karma points.

After that, any "like" that the answer gets will be awarded #100# karma points, which will be distributed among the people who contributed to the answer according to their contribution.
