RE: [How to use Steemit] - My ANSWERS IN POINT FORM with some HOT tips.
Just gave it a quick read and the two corrections I might offer up are that you have the old SP power down rate listed (104 weeks) which is now 13 weeks.
I also think it's unclear where you talk about influence score. It's more commonly referred to as reputation and is not calculated at all based on Steem Power, therefore it doesn't denote influence in the way you've described it earlier in the FAQ.
Great effort though, I hope it gets refined and grows. (After the next update, posts should be editable with no time restriction.)
Thank you for the feedback. I will update it. How is influence calculated exactly?
Well your "what is influence" section is correct. What you're referring to as the influence score is usually called reputation. It is an accumulated score based on your upvotes minus your downvotes (flags). But a person who invests money and only curates would have influence (more SP they bought) but stay at the starting 25 Reputation. Likewise powering down SP would drop your influence but not Reputation.
If you wanted to add in the effects of Reputation, it currently just related to post visibility on Steemit.com and as a badge of honor of activity and goodwill in the community. If a person has a negative reputation their content will be greyed out and given less visual attention, although it is not censored.
The difficulty of moving up reputation levels scales up greatly. Everyone starts at 25 and can be at 45 in no time. The higher rep scores take a lot to reach.
Good points. Changed 'influence score' to 'reputation score'. :)
Thanks a bunch for the extra notes of precision. It is greatly appreciated. Namaste :)
Hope it helps those looking for clarity. I will be sharing this with friends looking to start on Steemit. Will update in time. :)
