i think i understand! i saw this comment you made :

有个朋友的账户被hacked，看了你这帖子刚好有答案给他。
他问：
Is it harder to get reputation points when you are between 1 to 10?
原来25是出发点，不止是增加，往下掉也是越来越难。

so this means 25 drop to 24 is easier than 24 drop to 23. this means 2 drop to 1 is much much harder than 24 to 23 too. but does it also mean 1 to 2 is more difficult than 2 to 3? if that is so, then it starts to make a little bit of sense. that means 24 to 25 is much much easier than 1 to 2.
i think i'm starting to sound confusing. LoL
