How does Comment Bonus work?

Hey all ^^

So I've been writing and updating my JongdaexOc fic rather regularly since its for a completion, and I noticed that it has a comment bonus?

Does anyone know what triggers the comment bonus? Is it the regular updating? The story isn't really well-received (which is usually a bummer for me, but I actually don't mind lol cause Im still writing haha) so I don't think its got to do with the readers.

I guess I'm just curious. Anyone know?

Less than 5 comments per 5000 words if I remember correctly.

This is from the FAQ:

Q: Why do some stories have comment bonuses for extra karma points?

A: Undiscovered stories are possibly under-appreciated stories that may need more love from the community. These are stories with 5000 words or greater that have been updated within the last year but have a low comment to word count ratio. Commenting on these stories will help them gain more exposure and encourages their authors while making way for new stories to be discovered. To help encourage thoughtful comments, these stories are eligible for an extra karma point on comments made on them by the community.
