When your comment is upvoted, does it increase your reputation or does it not have any effect on it?
1 Answer
No. It does not affect your rep at all. But, you can get badges for upvoted comments:
Commentator: Left 10 comments.
and
Pundit Left 10 comments with score of 5 or more.

Any specific reason why it's that way? Seems like it would make sense to increase the reputation of the user if they have a good comment.– paradd0xCommented May 20, 2011 at 15:55

5Comments are supposed to be weightless for the most part, for discussion and clarification purposes.– studiohack ModCommented May 20, 2011 at 15:57

I could have sworn you used to get +2 rep for each comment... Another site maybe? Commented Nov 1, 2011 at 18:46

@Luke nope. Never has happened, never will. I think you're thinking of th +2 rep you get when you accept an answer.– studiohack ModCommented Nov 1, 2011 at 19:07

@studiohack Might have been. But I do understand why they shouldn't be worth rep, but I think they should after say, +5 votes or +10 Commented Nov 1, 2011 at 19:08
