RE: 4. VIDEO TUTORIAL : What is Reputation Score on Steemit? What is mine?
I have a reputation score of 7, my rep score didnt go down from the fact that I was trying to scam the steemit community or I was plagiarizing, it was because people with much higher steem power didnt like the content that I spoke about and began flagging my post "without" writing or informing me of their flagging. Given that I received no notifications of this activity I didnt realize what was happening until my reputation score was down to a 5...practically in the toilet bowl. Furthermore, given that there was no way to protect myself I had to basically accept this situation as some sort of internet chastisement though I was only on the platform for a week and the same group of people continued to flag my content without ever once attempting to write me and inform me of the unwritten rules when using this platform. Generally I understand what you're saying, but just because someone has a reputation of under 25 doesnt have to mean that they're suspect or cant be taken seriously, just like if someone who has a high rep score it doesnt mean that it's correct to hammer down smaller pages knowing that there's no level of defense to that. I've been on this site for about 2 weeks and overall it's been a blast, but I also came across my fair share of people monitoring my page and flagging without reaching out whatsoever in order to school me on what I may have been incorrectly doing. It's great to monitor the community, it's not cool to destroy people's opportunity at establishing a page or silently hammering someone's page without writing a post on why you're doing it, what Im doing wrong and how I can prevent this situation in the future. That can be viewed by the new/little people as cyberbullying. Great work. Hopefully you understand what im saying and can see that not all low reputation scores means a non-worthy page. Maybe I just didnt know the unwritten rules. Great videos overall! I am here to learn how to make my page grow and to avoid the obstacles that Im beginning to see as I become more experienced with the platform.
