I recently had a discussion with some highly esteemed Steemian, who opined that the true original purpose of the REP score was only just to 'hide low quality ' content rather to reflect personal Reputation as we know it in community life. ..
But of course if that was the case, then maybe they should have christened it something else not 'reputation'. At any rate, the way it is, it is selling the wrong image, given how it has come to be gamed.
That is why it should either be revised to better reflect how we understand reputation or as you say, hidden away until another solution is found.
btw....your 69 the much i know is well earned, and i am sure, reflects the high regard in which the 'steemit public' holds you, for the length of time you have been around...which is more than most higher up REP claimants can say.
Invite me for the celebrations,i will gladly come!
That's interesting, I didn't know the original purpose.
Originally, without bots and with Whales policing, I could see the name being reasonably relevant, and the same could be said for 'Trending'.
Nowadays though, both names are not suitable for purpose.
Party in the Balearics tonight then! 😁
