Does any know how the techoverflow karma is calculated?

I can't seem to figure out what it's adding up to calculate my karma. Curious if anyone knows!

From The FAQ in the upper right of the site:

How does the karma system work?

When a question or answer is up-voted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust in him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.

For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be up-voted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading, it will be down-voted. Each vote in favor will generate 15 points, each vote against will subtract 1 points. There is a limit of 200 points that can be accumulated per question or answer. The table below explains karma requirements for each type of moderation task.

add comments -> 0

delete comments -> 400

close own questions -> 15

reopen own questions -> 120

retag questions -> 150

edit any answer -> 400

open any closed question -> 600

delete any comment -> 400
