"Everything you ever wanted to know is defined is those 33 lines of code." Free masons have 33 degrees , therefore Illuminati confirmed ! :)

displayed reputation = ((log10(abs(reputation))-9)*9)+25

doesn't this formula intents that when you have negative reputation and it gets more and more negative your displayed reputation will only grow due to 'abs' operator?

You're right. I posted with an old formula.
Here the correct one:
[display reputation] = max( log10(abs(reputation)) - 9, 0) * ((reputation >= 0) ? 1 : -1) * 9 + 25
I updated the post

The abs() is because a logarithm from a negative number is not possible, so they have to make it positive before the logarithm. No need to worry :)

I am new here and really confused. There have too many things things to learn 😢

Same

This has been incredibly helpful for a new user!

This is a very interesting post. I missed it when it was published.
Such a pity it didn't generated more comments and discussion.

Follow you.

I 'm sorry,, I decreased my reputation ,, and I don't know how it was decreased :(
i joined here just a few days and I've shocked now!!
I think It because of my votes!! I just know that we can vote 10 times in a day... and I didn't know that before!!
Is it can be a reason?? and now.. could you do me a favor and help me to increase it :(
I'm very sad

That was an awesome post.... truely thank you for sharing , i have been wondering about it for long.

It took me two weeks of searching to find this post to answer my questions about how reputation is calculated. Thanks so much. I feel a lot better now.

It is too late for rewards on this post, but I did give you my witness vote.

Glad you finally found it =)
Many thanks for your witness support!

Looks very helpful. I was kind of like that toddler staring at that computer screen. Ha! This would be good for resteeming. It looks looks like it's still valid for general understanding purposes.

Wow, I've learned from this post. Thanks for your time.

Thank you, well explained.

Great post, didn't expected for somebody to actually analyze the code from the repository:)) Now I understend why it's getting so hard to increase my reputation.

Thank you very much for sharing this information.

Glad you found it interesting

That's a great post. I think it is great content and definitely undervalued.

Well done.

Thanks! Your comment is really appreciated.

My full Movie review- just out if you are looking for something good to watch/read etc BankingOnBitcoin -- Movie just released Friday!

Please, avoid promoting unrelated posts!

I was going thru comments and replying to people and in cases where someone provided me value, I try and do that back - in this case with a brand new movie out, tied to the crypto space I thought you might like.

I know my comment is really old here, but I want to say thanks. This is the only post I have ever seen that explained how the raw reputation score was computed. (And I have read a lot of them, looking for this information.) It makes sense that it would be the sum of all the reward shared ever voted on. That explains it all!

Thanks..for this information....

thank you very much for the great post and helpfull information

Thank you for the post. Greatly help newbie like me.

Followed.

Thanks =)

awesome post,thanks a lot

I can't believe this post only got $2 at time of payout. By far the best explanation of rep out there. I upvoted your most recent one since this one's time has passed.

I recently wrote a follow on post about rep with a few more bullets laid out. It also includes some findings that I found interesting. I hope you don't mind me posting the link here. I think it will be a good follow on resource for folks looking into rep in the future. It will be passed payout in three days as well, so I'm not really looking for upvotes. Let me know if you would rather I take it down. https://steemit.com/reputation/@moeknows/some-interesting-facts-about-reputation-on-steemit

Thanks so much. I just signed up and I'm trying to figure it all out still. This really helped.

Very informative. Thank you very much for this.

Thanks a lot. Now i understand what it is?

This is very curious for me to see this post having 2$ only.

great post

Great post about reputation! The resteem button is no longer available, but i did @follow you. Maybe you should make an update.

Will reputation go down with inactivity?

Thank you for your comment @buckfumbler
I will think of an update of the post.

Will reputation go down with inactivity?

No, activity or inactivity has no effecf on reputation by itself, except that when you are active, you create interaction with other users, wich might influence your reputation.

I read your post all long but still have some confusions. Can you please let me know?

what is the impact on my reputation upon commenting to any post or upvote any post.

Is there any increase in reputation if any positive reputation person comment me back or upvote my comment?

what a valuable post to us new steemians. Really...thank you. I had no idea how to protect let along grow my reputation number. Thanks for this post.

Now I will focus on increasing my reputation
