What Rodent are You? A Humorous Description of Steemit Reputation

So its many peoples' dream to escape the rat race, so I thought let's take a look at Steemit Reputation like we are all rodents...

So what is Steemit Reputation?

Your reputation is that number by your name. It is not necessarily an indicator of how much money you earn, but an indicator of how people see your content. The higher the number, the more value Steemit and the community places on your content.

We all start off at 25 and grow from there hopefully, but if we don't end following the rules, we end up under 25.

Reputation under 25 NAKED MOLE RAT!

You need a hug, a nice warm coat and some help and right advice to help you grow and avoid the dreaded downvote. Common reasons to get downvotes include spam comments and plagerized work.

REPUTATION: 25 - 30 DORMOUSE

source

You have just stumbled onto Steemit are just starting out and feel very little compared to all the other users on it, like you are a dormouse running around in a huge field. You hope that you will get paid from the moment you hit 'post', but don't really have a clue about the ins and outs of Steemit yet.

REPUTATION: 31 - 39 HAMSTER

source

You are beginning to understand some more about Steemit and are riding the Steem train. By now you will have created a few posts. Hopefully you are beginning to store away a few seeds in your SP and SBD. But you are beginning to realise that there is a lot more to Steemit than meets the eye. It's not about the money, but its an amazing community too.

REPUTATION: 40 - 59 SQUIRREL

source

You have become a hardworking squirrel as you have decided to keep at Steemit and are beginning to find your feet and beginning to scurry about with what you write about and you write regularly. You have made a few friends and your SBD and SPD seeds have turned into acorns.

REPUTATION: 60 - 70 BEAVER

source

By this time Steemit is probably part of your daily life and you are finding your community and gaining more support, and you also know the importance of giving back. New Steemians will look up to and ask your advice. Be kind, as they may well be the next generation of beavers. You are probably also getting a few good post payouts by this time (not necessarily every time), but you are finally on the map, with your well built damn. And your SBD and SP are the logs that help build your home.

REPUTATION: 70 - 79 CAPYBARA

source

By this point, you will have a huge presence on Steemit, much like a capybara, in the rodent world and like a capybara you are most likely really sociable and/or do a great deal for the Steemit community and people look up to you. You encourage people to join Steemit.

REPUTATION: 80 + SENSEI SPLINTER

source

No-one has reached Sensei Status yet. The race is on for this throne position. I don't know if anyone knows how high the reputation can go, so this will be ultimate sensei status. The ultimate masters of Steemit success. We will have a lot to learn from them.

I hope you liked my take on rodent reputation.
