Many of you may have noticed the recent updates to Steemit. Among those updates are the addition of a single digit score next to your name. My score is an 8.
Reputation scores work like earthquake richter scales, they operate on log base 10. In other words a reputation level 8 is 10 times stronger than reputation level 7. Likewise, -8 is 10 times more negative than -7.
Those with weaker reputations are unable to harm the reputation of those with strong reputation.
This score is a simple algorithm that could be changed at any time and will be tweaked. If there are problems with it or if it starts to be gamed, then we will fix it.
We have already identified one bug that will be fixed at the next update.
If you feel you have been unfairly punished by the current algorithm, then you can appeal on slack. Less than 2% of all accounts are currently being filtered due to reputation.
| Reputation | Number of Accounts |
|---|---|
| 9 | 1 |
| 8 | 86 |
| 7 | 712 |
| 6 | 1500 |
| 5 | 1617 |
| 4 | 1910 |
| 3 | 1780 |
| 2 | 1609 |
| 1 | 34,455 |
| -1 | 106 |
| -2 | 120 |

| -4 | 193 |
| -5 | 116 |
| -6 | 203 |
| -7 | 16 |

The lowest rep is @wang, being the first bot got him singled out by a lot of downvoters over time. We appriciate the service wang provided and he earned some good money from his efforts.
LOL... I've noticed @stellabelle out on her own with a 9. She is indeed The Oracle of the Steemit Matrix!

Flagged for platform updates draining the same pool that rewards all platform users (and disproportionately since unlike any other content they are relevant to the entire user base). IMO the pool is better used to draw new content and users to the platform. Good update and the hopefully the reputation system will improve the platform, so not downvoting on merit.

@smooth, you may or may not be using that excuse or fact as a justification for getting rewards and getting rewards is not really a bad thing in my book but I thought that it was bad in your book. Regardless of whether or not comments had rewards or the ability to op out of rewards, it does not totally excuse you. I am trying to turn your own code of ethics and morale back on you. In my book, I believe in making money. I love capitalism and competition. I like money. I like making profits. But in your mind, maybe you hate money or something. You can live in your world if you want. You have that freedom. You try to tell people that they should not make money and then you make money while you tell people not to make money. That is irony. It is also lazy not to find a way to op out of rewards later if you truly believe it is so bad to make money in certain situations. I believe in making money and you believe that money is bad in some situations. You made an excuse which could be understandable, but it is still kind of transparent or muddy. Maybe, you do this kind of thing sometimes. I know many people say one thing but do a different thing all together. I cannot say that is your character or lack of integrity but I can say it is possible.

@dantheman
Holy crap my rep is high!
http://steemwhales.com/williambanks
This is a good step and you have gamified it a little which will reach the larpers. So good work!
I have concerns though.
I'm not complaining about this, but I've been here a couple weeks max. I can see someone gaming this. They hire someone who is well spoken and compelling to come in and build rep on the account, then sell the account for mega bucks.
To solve this you should add an exponential decay function based on time, so older rep counts less than newer rep. You should also allow accounts with negative rep to trend back towards some zeropoint after a "chill out" period.
Since it's exponential rather than logarithmic, the effect of say taking a vacation won't be as much as suddenly turning into a flaming jerk. But it will still encourage people to not rest on their laurels too long and to keep posting good compelling content.
It's all about people. People go from good to bad and back again. They change over time. No one should earn a permanent high or low rep. Also if someone has a high rep and has a legitimate disagreement with someone with a low rep, they won't be able to permanently supress someone.
Thanks for listening!

I read this post and comments top to bottom.
Then I did some checking. This first "net" that skims the junk floating in the lake is indeed getting a lot of garbage. (Blatant spam, non-stop copy/paste from the internet etc).
On a quick skim down the "new", you can see who has been an established writer before, and who hasn't.
But a keen curator can also read titles, and descriptions of content, and immediately go.. Oh! That guy's a (1) and I know all he did was copy/paste a coindesk article I just finished reading.
At a glance, this is working very nicely. I'm fully aware there will still be tweaks, and adjustments. But overall, this is a really nice system. Great job.
This doesn't mean new "unestablished" users don't have a chance. It just means they are more likely to be scrutinzed a little closer until they build their reputation. (ie: post theft and repost is something that happened to stellabelle and I, on our collaborative glossary. Reputation would have fixed that immediately).

This is becoming like a game to me, steemit's actually kinda addicting, and that is a very good thing. Now I'm all like shit I wanna hit 8, then 9! This is super cool.
Even the updates in general have had from myself a very warm welcome, steemit is proving itself over and over again as a long term sustainable decentralized platform for social media.
These are exciting times, steemit has literally been "payout live" for under a month and the interface and usability is phenomenal. There's been a few hiccups, they've been worked out, fixed, tweaked, and a superior product has been kept in a state of evolution.
Also there's actual communication with the community on what's happening in the steemit world, which is awesome for credibility, unlike what niantic is doing lol.

I was honestly just as suprised by that as you were. We investigated the issue and it works like this.
My upvote can take you to +6.x. You had 6 before I voted you down and 7 after I voted you up.
If you start with 6.1 and I downvote you with 6.9 then it will take you to -6 because the way log algorithms work. If I downvote you again it probably wouldn't take you to -7.
Whales can make / break small accounts that have no rep. But they cannot make accounts with rep. I doubt I could lower @stellabelle from 9 to 8 with a single vote.

I guess this is implemented in the frontend, and not at the blockchain level? Maybe it doesn't matter, because it's main effect is user behavior and experience, not a permanent record of anything. Even if it is done only in the Steemit interface, alternative Steem clients will benefit from the end result, which is less unwanted content. So I won't even ask where it is implemented. Very nice!

Here's how I did it and continue to do it: People give me grief about the posts, but if you look at my overall activity, I spend a great deal of time commenting on other people's comments. I think me and tuck spend the most time commenting, and reading the threads within posts. I try to comment on many people's comments within my own posts and also in others (I've slowed, some, because of sheer content and dwindling time). I try really hard to add something to others. I don't always succeed, and sometimes I do have ego problems, like everyone else, but each day I do tell myself this one thing, I say Leah, "clean your slate. You have nothing just like before, now go and find the ones who need your help. Refocus your mind on them, thereby removing your own ego." It doesn't always work, but it helps to clear my vision, and refocus me on my first initial mission when I got in: redistribution of wealth and finding solutions for people who are struggling to get free of the Matrix. This is indeed my goal. Has been since day 1. Every day I have the privelege of paying someone else SD. If you look at what I give away to others you will realize that trust is the most essential part.

Problem with a one-size-fits-all (i.e. globalized) reputation metric is that it must assume that the wisdom of the crowd is unified. In cases where there are differing preferences, then wisdom of the crowd is either impotent or worse become censorship. In obvious cases where we all agree that @wang is a bot and we don't want to see his automated, redundant content then reputation works as an anti-spam filter. But I presume spammers can become more sophisticated so that we can't readily detect their numerous accounts and less redundant content. So I think ultimately only an individualized relevance metric will be useful. Your reputation algorithm I guess is needed to force spammers to become more sophisticated (i.e. more relevant), as long as it doesn't inadvertently cause censhorship. My concern with a globalized metric is it can become a tool of politically correct speech enforcement.

I think reputation is a really great thing to add here. In theory, this will allow for people who have (up to this point) been abusing privileges to start changing their reputation for the better. Awesome idea...I love it.

Very good movement for steemit!
But we need more details how the reputation is calculated in math for better user experience.
And it should be more clearly explained that this reputation does not influenced on users' earnings - nor on curator reward or author rewards. It is only has visual effect on steemit.com site, but not represented on STEEM blockchain. Isn't it?

If high reputable member votes you, then his vote will make immediate impact on your reputation and if some minnaws upvote you, then it might take 100s of votes. At-least that's what I understood from OP and some comments of @dantheman

"This score is a simple algorithm that could be changed at any time and will be tweaked. If there are problems with it or if it starts to be gamed, then we will fix it", was indeed a bit vague. I'll go bet on Augur that there is a market for this idea: There are always two posts. A technical one in the speak for cryptoland with the basic functions and algorithms and one in political laypeople lingo.

@dantheman Question on the mechanics of this reputation system:
You state "Those with weaker reputations are unable to harm the reputation of those with strong reputation." Is it really true anyone or group of users with weaker reputation are UNABLE to harm those with a greater reputation?
Here is why I ask. Shouldn't the collective amount of reputation be taken into account? If a dozen people with reputation of 6 downvote a person with a reputation of 7, shouldn't that count? The way I read it now, is they would be ignored by the system.
Overall I really like the reputation system having an effect on downvotes, but I think it should be a collective system.

So I didn't even see this coming, and I couldn't be any happier about it. I feel like this allows the newest users to better chart how their doing in the community, like milestones. Just signing on is one thing, and that's already rewarded with an ever increasing amount of steempower, and just voting doesn't really say much about your involvement with the content producers outside of you liking it.
But signing on and actually working to become a part of the community (regardless of financial reward)is a whole different beast, and now this number, while not the only indicator, is one metric that will help boost morale while warning others about potential trolling/crap posting.
Dunno how it'll turn out, but from this steemian, thanks dude/s/ette/s !

Hey @dantheman - it might be a good idea to make this more obvious somewhere. I was rather confused by that number at first, I thought it might just be karma like on Reddit or Hacker News.
It would be great if there was an FAQ on Steemit which explained some of the concepts, especially pointing to this reputation post, since it's a strange but possibly effective system.

I was waiting for it since I saw your post about it, I'm truly surprised you released it so fast and i really love how it takes up your comments so you avoid voting yourself to make your comment seen. On the other side even if I see the reason it's done this way it kinda makes me sad I cannot downvote someone with a higher rate than me, for example I tried to flag a post which besides the fact that was a not original article it was without source and someone earlier posted it, also he was making a good bunch for it. Yet I do see that it would be a problem if a bunch of people would just try to weak people that is trusted. I'm not sure what would be better but I believe you will sort it out in a fair way, great job.
Ps: I believe quality content shouldn't necesarily mean that someone is trusted, I've done a lot of votes and i was never concious this would eventually mean I am trusting somebody, in cryptos we know you shouldn't trust easily somebody.

First of all, thanks for working hard on adding new systems, I appreciate seeing the growth of Steemit right in front of my eyes.
I've run into a bit of a snag here, though. I can't flag this post because it is higher rep than I am, even though the rewards are completely disproportionate, and, I believe, strongly in need of flagging. That seems somewhat breaking.
https://steemit.com/news/@r4fken/bitfinex-hacked-breaking
The post above posted just a single link, not even any text or interpretation to go with it and raked in over $1200 and rising in author rewards.
As a comparison, we have posts like https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@pseudonymwriter/bitfinex-hacked-here-s-what-we-know-so-far with full background info and updates that make a mere 30 cents.
Now, you can be sure that I'll try my damnedest to contribute so well that I'll hit level 9 myself, but untill then, I'm powerless to make my downflags speak for me where I feel appropriate when a user has a higher rank than me.
