RE: I have a negative reputation (-5) how to restore it to neutral
I believe the negative reputation has something to do with your posts. The "raffle" post was downvoted 3 times. Users seem to dislike posts with "unsanctioned program" and for explicitly soliciting SP or SBD. We earn these rewards by posting good contents giving value to the community. Soliciting or winning some SP or SBD without "proof of work" defeats the purpose of steemit.
I tried it for fun and now learned harder way one mistake and you are finished with Steemit
You're not finished though, your reputation was fixed easy as that. And a $1000 to boot.
I thought SBD/SD was supposed to be money, used like money and given for any reason?
Also, I didn't investigate if the Original Poster truly only has 3 downvotes, all on one post, but if that is so, and that caused significant reputational damage, that does seem unbalanced. While I don't understand the new reputation system yet, I do know most Steem voting mechanism are weighted and the number (3) of votes isn't relevant, but still it seems unbalanced.
SBD is "money" and "liquid" on its current form. You can use it to Buy or Sell or convert into STEEM. The way I understand it, when someone who has a huge share of STEEM, some refer to them as WHALES, gets involved in your posts, whether upvote or downvote, their involvement is highly significant. The more "shares" you have, the more powerful your "voting" power is, as in a corporation.
The 3 downvotes must have been dished out by Whales or other lesser gods, nevertheless gods. So the lesson is, never anger the gods LOL!
On a serious note, if posters follow the rules and regulations of steemit, they won't have to worry about their reputation being damaged. That's why it pays to really know first the culture of a community before marching in with your own ideals and goals and dreams.
In Thailand, a woman who walks with wet hair in the morning going for work or someplace else is considered a taboo. And if you didn't know that, you will find yourself the subject of gossip and contempt.
