I was just upvoted for a question on Meta, but there was no rep increase.

There is no reputation awarded for posts in the "child" meta sites (i.e. meta.webapps.stackexchange.com). The "reputation" is inherited from the parent site. But you will get meta-specific badges, though.

1It appears to be inherited from when you opened the meta account. Will it update periodically?– ChrisF ModCommented Jun 30, 2010 at 21:53

Though the badges aren't being awarded here either - meta.webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/26/…– ChrisF ModCommented Jun 30, 2010 at 21:54

Um, OK then. It's often difficult to get a sensible response on meta.stackoverflow.com because of all the noise from people I had wildly assumed were reputation hunters. I thought that must be why there wasn't a separate reputation counter here, but maybe not.– KinopikoCommented Jul 1, 2010 at 9:18
