Riddle me this, Steem Adepts...???

I've been wondering what the formula is myself. I know each level of reputation is harder to reach than the previous, but I'm not entirely sure as to how you reach it. I try to be very active in the steemit community, but I haven't seen any change in several months now. I'm pretty sure upvoting your own post/comment hurts it.

Useful. But I'd still like to see a breakdown of how reputation is increased.

It is on a log base 10 scale or something. Here are the parameters of reputation:

-If you receive an upvote and the person upvoting you has a reputation higher than 0, your reputation will increase in proportion to the Steem Power of the person upvoting you.

-If you receive a downvote (flag, thumbs down), your reputation will only be affected if the account downvoting you has a higher reputation than you do, in which case, it will be affected in proportion to how much SP that account has.

-If the account downvoting you has lower rep than you, it will have no affect n your reputation, but can still affect rewards.

-a person with a negative rep, cannot affect reputation with either an upvote or downvote.

-purchasing SP doesn't directly buy you rep.

Example: An upvote from an account with 75 rep and 500 SP will have less effect on your reputation than an account with rep 25 and 10K SP. At 52 rep, a downvote from the 25 rep guy will have no effect on your rep whereas a downvote from the 75 guy would.

Thanks for that @moeknows
