What is Steemit reputation and how does it work?

$195.69
- Past Payouts $195.69, 0.00 TRX
- - Author $155.89, 0.00 TRX
- - Curators $39.80, 0.00 TRX
Very helpful information.
But the lower reputation is not -8
I don't know the lowest one, but wang's is -16 ;)
Yep, this limit was when reputation was introduced. Post udated!
reputation has nothing to do with how much a downvote bot can effect your account. it is their SP that dictates that. they could have 0 reputation but 200k SP and kill your account
@masterroshi @arcange Can either of you explain where the authoring and curation rewards go after a down-vote bot zeros out the total? Let's assume $2.00 in votes from 10 up-voters before the bot down-votes, zeroing out the Pending Payout reward value.
Also, is the SP used in the process of voting returned to voters, after a down-vote bot hits the post?
Do you know what motivates anyone to run down-vote bots? Is there a payout to them? Do they collect what would have gone to authors and curators?
Are either of you developers for the Steemit platform or know who the developers are?
Your insight and advice would be great. Thanks.
As an FYI, the following is memo text from a transfer.
Why would the recipient of the transfer and memo want down-voting exclusively? And why is the memo author using up-voting as a tool to convince the community that their actions are all about a clean chain?
i believe if there is a downvote then the rewards pool will simply send out less rewaeds.
SP is indeed NOT returned to the voters it is in essence lost. which creates a disincentive for that voter to vote on that type of post again.
As far as incentives for downote bots, the is only vengence and it is actually a waste of time. they are simply trying to create influence and be able to censor content they dont like or approve of.
If you want to get more info on the people developing the blockchain, check out the steemit github and reach out to the folks making some of the commits.
I did drop by GitHub, but didn't spend much time there. Started reading the code...I'd have to dedicate time to that and don't have it to spare. Thanks though, I will look for names of those making commits.
Well, evidence speaks to the contrary regarding the profitability of running down-vote bots. I've seen monthly bittrex transactions as high as $10k. You can look at their account page wallets and see next to nothing for the week, for example: curation(61.064 SP) /authoring rewards (zero) and still see curation of 605.46 SP, authoring of 14.49 SP and steem of 14.48 in SteemWorld. You can trace the source there too.
I'll throw a thought out for you to contemplate: WHO benefits by having rewards returned to the Global Reward Pool and HOW do THEY profit from delegating to exclusive down-voting bots?
Heading over to Minds.com. Look me up if yo have an account there.
Wow the post is very usefull and it is of help to me because am new here . please my boss with higer repitations should kindly upvote my coment and follow me please just help me i really need help around here .thanks.
The higher is 80 and the lowest is -20.
so my 25 is not that bad :)))
lol, 25 is default, not good or bad, you're in limbo man! :p
Thank you for bringing me down to earth!! :(
:D
Haha, you'll be 26, 30, 40 before you know it ;)
I jumped from 25 to 27 somehow.
That's what happens when people like your comments and posts. The higher the rep of the person the more it will change.
This happened like half an hour ago btw
Yes really informative because even moat of the old people don't know how it works?
That was the most important thing I read on steemit today. Never knew there was so much going on behind the scenes for reputation, thanks for sharing was very useful.
Thanks for your positive feedback!
great
Thanks I literally had no idea how reputation worked until I read this.
How does someone flag a post? Why would they do that?
well. maybe if it's stuff like gore, illegal activities(like porn you really don't want to see).
or a complete garbage post.
Thank you for putting together this informative post on the complex subject of reputation. I am sure it will help the newer members to the community to understand their reputation score better.
100% upvote and re-steem
Have a fantastic weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
Thanks you. A good week-end to you!
Great post! How did you find out about the minimum being -8 ? I thought it was possible to go as low as we want
I don't think that's correct either. I believe -8 was the lowest score a user had when reputation was initially created, but the front end representation has changed since then.
You're right. I'm such an old-timer =)
Post updated!
That just mildly boggled my brain!
great overview.Makes it a lot clearer. Thank you. It took me ages to get from 51 to 51.7 though so goodness knows how long it will take to get to 53. 60+ seems pie in the sky at the moment!
Thank you, there is a lot to learn about this steemit business. I was reading up on it when I first signed up and it seemed simple enough, but it took 2 weeks to get my account active and I forgot about it. Now I'm on here and I'm looking around I can see it is quite complicated. I look forward to figuring it all out and these type of posts help a lot. Thanks again.
🍒 I still think that there's a big flaw with that system, because if somebody with high reputation and/or high Steem Power, does not like you or you make a mistake or whatever, they can flag you and then your....
But, well no system is perfect, right?
Make friends with people with higher reputations, be yourself as that attracts people like you, brand yourself, and you may continue to grow that way. Love the South Park meme. Love it. I'm Oatmeal.
Thank you for sharing the useful information such that I can know more about the reputation and I think it is a good system since it could reflect the user's good or bad behavior and less users will having bad behavior such as plagiarism because of the decrease in reputation.
