If you go onto your user profile page, and scroll all the way to the right, there is a section called "reputation".

What is it, and how does it work?

Is it like the "karma" system that Reddit uses?

Kinda like karma, it's the culmination of downvotes (reduces) and boosts. Much easier to get downvotes than boosts though. Idk why the upvotes (favorites) don't count. Maybe that will be a change soon

Yeah… I’ve taken to self boosting just to keep my reputation above zero even though I’m like 100 upvotes to 2 downvotes. Probably doesn’t matter but like… having negative rep really bugged me.

Take a couple boosts on me

Thank you and everyone else that donated to the karma jar!
