INTRO:

The number that is written next to our name on steemit (steemit.com) is Reputaion. Let me explain in two of my series posts on what this reputation is, how the reputation grows, how it decreases, how the reputation is calculated, on which factors the reputation depends on, the meaning of reputation value, how you can increase your reputation, and the importance of reputation.

WHAT IS REPUTATION:

When we create a new account, the number next to our name is 25. Then it is easy to understand, our reputation starts with 25. Someone's reputation will not be less than 25 if he don’t gets flag or downvote.

HOW TO INCREASE REPUTATION:

In Steem blockchain, Reputation an indicator that makes it easy to check a person's contribution to the platform. And this is why this indicator is so important. Looking at someone's reputation, one can understand how much he has contributed to Steemit.

Reputation only grows on getting votes. We know many people invest a lot of steem and work here but it has no role in reputation. No matter how much Steem Power you have. It will not play any role in your reputation. Reputation will only increase when someone’s posts or comments get votes.

The more votes someone get, the more his reputation will continue to grow. In order to increase the reputation, it is important to be an author and get votes in the posts. The amount of SP holding will not play any role here in case of reputation score.

HOW REPUTATION WILL DECREASE:

Reputation will decrease if we get downvote in any of your post or comment. In that case, I must have to author. However, there are two exceptions.

Firstly, those whose reputation score is minus or below zero will not affect anyone else's reputation in their downvote.

Secondly, If the reputation of the person who casts the downvote is less than the reputation of the author, then the reputation of that person will not be affected for his downvote. Although the reward for that person may decrease but the reputation will not decrease. If a person downvote someone, the reputation of that person will not decrease if his reputation is less than that person. This is actually done to prevent abuse.

For example, if my reputation is 73 and a account for example shy-fox having reputation 25 give a big downvote then that downvote will not affect my personal reputation. Yes, my potential reward will be reduced due to downvote but reputation will not be affected. So, the downvote will affect the reputation only of those whose reputation is higher than mine. I hope it is clear now.
