hey nice! he does deserve that tip 😅😂

Wow that's very kind of you @tipu!

He deserves more than though 😉 this boy helps out build moral to all steemit users. I have been following him since my 2ndweek on steemit. I wish I am rich and I can probably build a community for him so people help him with his work.

@arcange just hang on and keep tight. You will shine in the near future.

Finally a simlplifed code reader! I like the way you explianed thanks! 👍💪

👍👏

Super helpful! I've been curious about reputation and what it mean/how it worked since I returned from my many months long hiatus and found that I suddenly had a one! LOL! Thanks for putting this out there !

Thank you for putting it in Layman terms for us @arcange! I'm still not entirely convinced I deserve to have the reputation I do at this point, but computers always compute things correctly right?

This was a terrific run down, I was looking for something like it just last night, so very timely for me! Thank You!!

:-) I was sitting yesterday with a friend of mine who has same reputation as you with less than 20 posts but a few got some serious whale upvotes, i guess that speeds things up seriously :-)
Did you maybe had a few posts like that?

I had a story curated by @curie that went to trending and paid out at $140, that was a lot of it. I have a meme paying out at $115 tomorrow, so yeah, couple of one offs.

I'm not saying I'm not happy to have the Steem coming in, very appreciative of that, but I feel like I am still too new to this game to be over 50.

I would love to know how much these big payouts bumped your rep. I'm more on the hunt for sp, but rep and sp are tied together so I guess I want both :)

yeah I am not sure how it all works. it has something to do with the rep of the people who upvote you too. The higher their rep the more it bumps you or something.

I just post what I post. Some gets traction, some wallows. I'll just keep on keeping on. haha

Oh! I had not heard about the rep of your upvoter as an aspect of this before.

I'm an accountant and researcher, so I can't stand it when I don't understand things. Steemit pushes my buttons all day long :)

Very interesting article some made sense but some was a little hard to understand, cheers mike

Excellent post, arcange! I've been meaning to dive into the code at some point to better understand how reputation scores change over time, and you've done the work for me. :) Resteeming.

tip! 5 link

Thank you for your comment. Really appreciatef from a fellow dev and witness =)

Thank you for explaining all that stuff in details. I have a better understanding of how the reputation works now!

Resteemed and voted.

Thank you @techybear! Make a good post and raise that rep ;)

Just an idea:

On the Steemit Board, lets say once someone hits a reputation of 50 then maybe you could unlock the "personal" section, so that it can be filled in by the user.

What do you think?

I always come back to this post to try and understand how reputation works, i still don't get it though....

This is an eye opener, this explains why @cheetah does not flag.

This explains why creating a bot that systematically flags other posts is useless, unless the bot has a high reputation, something that will be hard to achieve for a “flag bot”. In no time, the bot’s reputation will be ruined and it will become harmless.

@cheetah has actually a reputation of 70, which is quite high.
As most plagiarists have a low reputation (it's quite rare a high rep user doing plagiarism), it could flag them. And the effect would be real.

It doesn't, except when a user is banned, because its creator bet on education rather than punishment.

What a helpful post. Thank you. I have been apprehensive to flag a post for fear of retaliation. This explanation has helped ease some of those fears.
I would never flag someone for what I call trivial things like, opposing views or something one might deem offensive, none of that is any concern of mine. I'm more of a live and let live or a whatever floats your boat kinda person.
What I will flag, is someone out right stealing another's work and trying to pass it off as their own. I've run across this twice so far. I commented and asked for clarification first. It still amazes me that in this digital age folks think they won't get caught.
