RE: Towards a reputation system suitable for SteemSTEM
I like the relatively simple idea lemouth (and the exponential decay mirrors many natural processes, which is cool and STEM-like!).
There are no doubt possible improvements, like you could allow reputation to also factor non-steemstem voted articles (to allow cases where the occassional excellent STEM article slips by) based on the steemstem reputation of the voters - but then this would greatly complicate the system for minimal gain. Start simple, and see how things run.
I also feel reputation of steemstem management (honour members and up) be inflated to reflect their expanded role in the community.
I am not sure we will ever use the reputation to vote anything. We prefer manual curation for that. Honestly, except the fun part behind it, I don't think this will have any role, at least for now. But please wait for our upcoming App :)
The management and curators have been removed from the algorithm because of the way the latter works: they would fill all the top positions, which is what we didn't want to ;)
