> -    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][1])
> -    site association bonus: +100 on each site (awarded a maximum of one time per site)
