In Simple terms Reputation is the measurements of your accounts value on the platform of steemit. The higher the reputation you have the more you are valuable to the platform.

Higher reputation represents that your content is being valued and liked by a large number of users on the platform. Reputation is a merely a way to motivate users on the platform to create unique and original content on the platform rather than copy paste from various sources.

Higher reputation also represents that you have spent a good amount of time on the platform with higher reputation you are termed a senior member on the platform and your content will reach to a larger number and influence them.

^{What methods do you currently use to increase your reputation? Explain}

There are various methods that you can use to gain reputation on the platform from steemit.

Post valuable and meaningful content

Always try to post something meaningful or valuable for others so that they engage in your post and drop a upvote on your post because the more upvote you receive the more your reputation score will increase.

Bot Usage(Not recommended)

As you probably have seen many users use bots votes to gain reputation on the platform such as tipu, upuv and many others but that way is not recommended and i myself don't use it as it's not right. Better to engage with suitable communities on the platform and get votes.

Engagement

Engagement plays a very significant role in increasing your reputation on the platform, when you engage with other you will make many friends and followers on the platform and then they will support you as engagement is a two way communication and it works both ways.

Delegation to communities

When you delegate your Steem Power to communities they provide you support, many community upvote users with their community account so getting upvote from an account which has a huge number of steem Power will increase your reputation faster.

^{Can your reputation score go down? Explain.}

^SRC

As many of you has probably seen many accounts that upvote and drops comment on your post has a Negative reputation in red color. So yes your reputation score can go down depending on the type of content you post.

If you post scam posts and users with more steem Power downvote your posts then your reputation will go down and eventually you will get negative reputation if you keep receiving down votes.

So make sure you always post something meaningful and never engage in fight with users who has more steem Power so that you Risk being downvotes.

That is all from my side for this engagement challenge, i hope I'm clear and I'm wrong in some part or need any clarification please join my comment section.

I invite my friends @avinashgoyal,@ahlawat, @prakhar9675 to join the new season of engagement challenge.
