I could agree with some protection to higher rep users, however I don't agree this marker shall be at 65+. I see high rep accounts abusing Steemit since the moment they were able to do so, eg having high rep and since HF19 removed many of the anti abusive protection already (eg the removal of limited number of post per day).

I fully agree the Rep system is not correctly implemented. The current Rep system allows users with high Rep to abuse the system without their Rep being effected when receiving downvotes. Also the power required the Rep is for higher Rep users to high, allowing high(er) rep users to abuse the platform for a longer period of time.
