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

in steem •  7 years ago 

question-mark-1872634_640.jpg Is there some way to observe how close I am to going from "Kevin of Smalltimore (51)" to " Kevin of Smalltimore (52)"? I got to 50ish pretty fast, but I have been stuck on 51 since forever. Could it be getting close and then falling back because of sanctions (censorship)? How do I know? Can I drop a few grand and get to (68) instantly?

I've been using the Esteem app for Android and in the side bar they show you more granular data. For example: image

I'm not sure what metrics they use to measure growth, maybe unique user interactions? How far a post is seen? Witchery?

I remember downloading it but is asked for my master key? That's okie?

I had the same thing. I think longer posts may figure in but I don't know that for sure. Check out steemd.com/@yourname and it should show how close and it currently shows 52 (nothing is private on steemit.except that memo thing you told me of). Sometimes it takes a few days for the number beside your name to click over..usually when it hits 52.1. Hope this helps!

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.

www.steemnow.com shows voting power and your rank to the 10th decimal place.

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
