RE: Change the Reputation algorithm or else get rid of it - It is ridiculous as it is

in #steemit6 years ago

It's just a number and doesn't show the full picture. It's not easy to buy a high rep, so it's still a useful indicator to me. Other services based on steem can calculate their own scores

Sort:  

I personally find it a very useful and necessary indicator, but its should reconstructed to reflect and indicate what it is meant to indicate!

I have just been reading through, and i found this account trending @mattmonarch. 27 days, REPutation 60. And all because of bots....https://steemit.com/ormus/@mattmonarch/new-ormus-pure-white-monatomic-powdered-gold

I have been here two months, and still in 53 (made it today), despite posting what i trust is quality stuff, and almost everyday!!! My crime? I have never used a bot.

No question, should i use a bot, i can shoot it to 65+ by tomorrow and 70 in a week or less.

The REp score should stay, but it should be fixed

We have this choice. It just feels wrong to me to buy votes. I could get a higher rep that way, but I'm not that desperate. Others can see what you do and judge you on it. I see some trending posts get flagged for buying big votes

Very true, the other tweak would absolute be to make sure bots remain to affect everything except reputation.
