Thanks @ceepee for this piece initially I used to think powering down had a diverse effect on the reputation so it became a no go area for me and when i also learnt it takes months, im always like then whats the need why do I need it.

But recently when I realised that was not the case at a point i got tempted to, but later on when I noticed the sp earned from post payout is becoming less as steem price increases I realised powering down is really not a wise decision.
