Good post! But I still have a few questions:
How is the raw reputation score arrived at? How to calculate the simplified score from raw is not much of my concern as I can see the simplified score everywhere in front of a username in all comments & posts by that user.
I want to know more about the 7 recommendations you made for increasing one's reputation score. Exactly how much of them each contribute in the increase of the raw reputation score? e.g. what is the value of 1 curation reward or 1 author (posting) reward earned in terms of reputation earned? How much do commenting & posting without any upvote / downvote matter?
What will happen after one reaches the maximum score of 80? Would raw reputation score cease to increase further? (Yeah, I understand that the only movemet you can make from the top is the way down. But is that the case at 80?)
