RE: Change the Reputation algorithm or else get rid of it - It is ridiculous as it is
While I am not sure I would consider this the highest priority, I totally agree the Rep score is broken and basically meaningless.
I consider it a measure of how much one has earned, without being flagged by those with a larger rep! It has nothing to do with the way the community views you.
I think in terms of marketing and the image that steem wants to present to the world, it's pretty important. Anyone with a couple of brain cells joins this site and within minutes raise their eyebrows and the words ponzi & scheme come into play. This isn't helped when they realise that anybody with more money can completely control the system and get higher reputation despite how criminal or bogus they may be.
I think STINC have focused so much on the back end that they've basically just shrugged off their appearance to the global stage - much to the detriment of us all perhaps. If this is a feature that can easily be changed, why not just get a guy to change it in a single afternoon and make their image improve vastly?
I'm fine with it being changed!! Really fine with it.
Decentralized means that we don't just sit and wait for SteemIt, Inc.
Maybe someone should code it up and drop it on Github, that is kind of the point of OpenSource.
Let's get it done!
That would be great. That is something tech savvy's (i am not) should consider coding. If the problem is a concept, a few of us can sit down and state it. I am more than willing to be part of that.
That about says it all, @mobbs. You cannot imagine what impressions run in someones head to know that the highest REP account is also the account with the most controversy! it doesn't add up, not unless our idea of a 'reputation' is something else!
Good points. You just captured my mind buddy.
