Thank you for the repetition. You are a very patient teacher. Now I have to try to be a good student.

First I've learned, your steem reputaion has nothing to do with the Steemit reputation. It grounds on the popularity of tags. The rating we find in every list i.e. 89.283 is the XP. The user activity sum.
Tags have reputation
Posting an article with tag – User gets tag reputation, score depends on already gained user points.
Incoming vote – I gain user points
Outgoing vote – a user gains points
Any aktivity the tag earns tag points

Is it nearly okay, now?
