Question

How is the amount of Karma determined for a response to an answer? Sometimes I see 100 karma for a thank you and sometimes 50 karma for a thank you .

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

We have an explanation page for how karma works, check it out here!

Karma is calculated by looking at your `%` contribution. Writing an answer gets you `50` karma. If you're the only contributor to an answer, then a 'like' will get you `100` karma.

For answers that you have contributed to, the karma is split according to the `%` contribution.

If you have `50%` of an answer, for example, then a 'like' given to that answer will get you `50` karma. For `20%` of an answer by contribution, you get `20` karma, and so on.
