How and who determines karma points on HN?
I'm a newbie, and I'm just wondering who screens what submissions to display and who determines karma points on HN? Sometimes I submit a link and I don't see it appearing here. Then I get 1 point, hehe. Is there an FAQ I missed reading? Pls enlighten. Thanks.

Newly submitted links appear on the new page.

When someone upvotes a link you submitted or a comment you wrote, you get a karma point.
When links get enough points in a short enough period of time, they appear on the front page.
