How long does it take to make "karma" move?!
I have answered a bunch of questions... I've asked a well-framed question - why does my "karma" not move?
Is it supposed to do anything?

Welcome to ask.fedora. Unlike some other forums, your reputation (or karma) has nothing to do with the number of posts you make. Instead, you gain karma by having people upvote your posts or answers. (You can also upvote a comment, but there's no karma involved.) You also get karma by having somebody select your answer as the right answer by clicking on the little check mark by an answer. Alas, most members here are reluctant to use their votes, but if you keep on giving good advice, the karma will come.
I want to add a little bit to what sideburns says. I see you've only been a site member for a few days. It takes more than just making a few posts to get people to want to vote your posts up. I took a look at a few of yours; I hope this isn't taken as too harsh... I think there a few things you could do to make people more interested.
First, the one question you asked contains a lot of detailed background information. This really good - many people leave that out, and then it's hard to help them. But, it's also a really obscure topic. Not many people have HDMI audio converters, so it's going to take some patience. People who don't know anything about this at all and aren't interested are unlikely to vote. That's not your fault, of course. There are some things you could do. For one thing, you misspelled "audio" in the subject of the post. Second, that title says "Unplugged", whereas something like "Plugged in but Fedora says it's unplugged" might get people to the point more quickly.
But then, you answered your own question with "bump bump bump". That's not okay. I'm deleting that now, since I'm a moderator, but were I a regular user, I would just downvote that, making you lose karma. If you really feel like your post needs to get bumped to the front page again, edit to improve it — fix the spelling errors, make the format better, improve the title. Don't abuse answers for noise.
Then, onto answers:
