Whats is REPUTATION?

Every user has a Reputation scores next to there name. The Reputation scores is one way steemit measures the amount of value you bought to the community. It is also a mechanism that is designed to help reduced abuse of the steemit platform.

Your Reputation goes up when accounts vote on your content. Getting downvote by someone with a higher reputation can push your reputation down and make your posts less visible.

Users with a lower reputation score are unable to affect your reputation.

HOW IS THE REPUTATION SCORE MEASURED

Every new user starts with a reputation score of 25.
The reputation scores is based off of a LOG10 system . which means that a scores of 40 is about 10x better than a score of 30.

More information about the calculation of the reputation scores can be found in this post from @digitalnotvir:

HOW DO I IMPROVE MY REPUTATION SCORE?

Every time another user upvotes one of your posts or comments, it increases your reputation score. User with a higher reputation than you will have more of a positive effect. The more steem power that the voters has, the larger the effect is as well. The best way to earn upvotes is by adding value to the steemit community .

WHAT CURSES MY REPUTATION SCORES TO GO
DOWN ?

The only way for your reputation score to go down is to be downvoted by another user. Not all downvotes will curse a reputation loss through.

. Downvotes from users with a lower 
  reputation score than you will not hurt your 
  score
. if your post or comment that was downvoted 
  still received more upvotes then downvotes 
  (weighted by SP), then the net effect on your 
  reputation score will still be positive.


WHY DOES MY REPUTATION SCORE MATTER?

A reputation score is one way steemit measure the amount of a value you've bought to the community in the real estate, they say there are three variable of the utmost importance: location, location. On steemit, those things are reputation, reputation, reputation. It's not say other variables aren't important, but reputation will be an enormous factor in your level of success.

Many steemians glance at users reputation scores when deciding which articles to read because they know higher reputation means it is much more likely quality content. Furthermore, the higher your reputation, the more effect your vote will have on the reputation of others.

It is worth noting that if your reputation score goes below 0, steemit will hide your posts and comments making it very difficult to gain monetary rewards and followers. This is incentivizes online etiquette and respect for your follow steemians ..thanks for your reading

To be very realistic, an account's rep doesn't really matters. To some people it is not needed, sp is far better than rep. We have big steemians here on Steemit that are with low reps but high sp.


Even the official Steemit account has a rep of 35:

But you'll be surprised when you see the sp in that account:

You have written well but Steem power is far better than reputation.. Give me steem power and take my reputation score away..

Thanks for this,I just saw my reputation going up but don't understand it.
You are too much @harris2017

Never knew about this, thanks for the info.

Thanks @harris2017 for the information

Well said. The most important thing is to have Steem power then you can earn from upvoting as well as curate others. Lots of people wit 50 reputation doesn't give your post more than 0.01 because of low Steem power.

Thanks for the information @harris
