Finally some useful info. Thxs a lot. I'm a newbie here and still have to get a handle on steem. I was wondering, what the hell did I do to get a reputation of -5. So away, I didn't know about the existence of steemstats so I went to check it out. And browsing through the pages, there's a list of upvotes and down votes . I got 60 upvotes weighted 10000, and 9 downvotes weighted 10000. Why the hell is my reputation negative. Does 60-9=51 still today (or are we in 1984?) Evendently, a downvote of weight 10000 weighs more tha an upvote of equal weight (which still reminds me of Orwell).
Sure, some of my posts ironic, sarcastic, contraversial or just a plain joke.
But I glad I made somebody have a laugh "does anybody remember laugher" (Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven live- from the Song Remains the Same).
And I made some people think. And with thinking comes creativity (DUH).

And I last thing to finish because I tried of ranting:

My post has a Fresh-Koolaid grade level of a "somebody really ticked-off" and ironic tease of "Holy (blank) Batman". This puts the ranting level on par with Groucho Marx and Monty Python.
