RE: What Is The Steem Reputation Score?
Ah, indeed it's in the FAQs! I only knew the code and from there the rules seem to be:
Rule #1: Must have non-negative reputation to effect another user's reputation
[...]
Rule #2: If you are down voting another user, you must have more reputation than them to impact their reputation
The change in the raw reputation seems to be always ( cv->rshares >> 6 ), independent of the voter reputation.
Oh good call! I need to check out the code more. I haven't looked through it yet (and it seems like there's some logic I haven't learned yet), but so unless there's something somewhere else in the code, when upvoting someone reputation score doesn't change the reptuation boost one receives unless its negative, in which case there's no effect?
Hi @jeffbernst, I got a confirmation that the FAQ is wrong. So the above rules should be correct:
Awesome, thanks for letting me know! It's really cool to see how posting your question on Github led to Tim Cliff updating his Condenser fork. I'll make a note on my post that my original info was incorrect. Thanks again! 👍
