How does a new superuser increase their reputation?
First, please take some time to read the articles in our help centre. There you will find:
How do I earn reputation?
The primary way to gain reputation is by posting good questions and useful answers. Votes on these posts cause you to gain (or sometimes lose) reputation. Please note that votes for posts marked “community wiki” do not generate any reputation.
You gain reputation when:
- question is voted up: +10
- answer is voted up: +10
- answer is marked “accepted”: +15 (+2 to acceptor)
- suggested edit is accepted: +2 (up to +1000 total per user)
- bounty awarded to your answer: + full bounty amount
- one of your answers is awarded a bounty automatically: + half of the bounty amount (see more details about how bounties work)
- site association bonus: +100 on each site (awarded a maximum of one time per site)

Note that the first few posts by a new user go into the First Posts queue:
The First Posts queue contains the first few posts made by new users (who will probably need help learning to use the site).
Users with the Access Review Queues privilege will be able to:
Edit the post, flag it, vote on it, add a comment, or upvote a previously existing comment.
and so provide you with guidance on improving your first few posts.
