Can somebody explain to me

I've been away from AFF as what i've stated on my previous blog post so I'm a bit lost on the new changes in the site. I checked the list of my stories and three of them had a label of comment bonus. I opened one of the stories and I saw that there was a written 'Extra karma point bonus for commenting on this story!' on the comments section. Um what is that for? And does it appear on random stories?

It's apparently an incentive for other readers to get double karma points for commenting on your story. It applies to all stories that have been written/updated within the last year, if I'm not mistaken. Or, more accurately, from the FAQ page:

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.

Hope this helps!
