Reputation Milestone

Finally after what seems forever, I have finally reached my final goal..... A 60 reputation score!

When I started on Steemit there were 3 things that I wanted to achieve.

• Become a Dolphin……...check
• Get 1000 followers…....check
• Get a 60 Rep……….................................check (At Last!)

Well, it is like the name suggests. Your Rep or reputation score shows how well you are doing on Steemit. The score is based on the votes you have received. It is a good indicator on how serious one is about Steemit. A high Rep usually indicates a couple of things.

• The author has been on the platform for a while (believe me it is not easy to get to 60 quickly

• The author has been actively posting for a while

• The author has been behaving accordingly on the Steem Blockchain

To quickly gain a high rep you need to be actively posting and commenting in order to get upvotes. The person that upvotes you needs to have a non-negative reputation and the higher the vote value the more reputation points you will receive.

Be careful though, you can also lose Rep…
If someone decides to flag you, your reputation score will decrease if that person has a higher reputation than yours. So it is important not to get flagged because your reputation score can suffer because of it.

There is also another important thing to know about your reputation score and that is that it is also a tool to hide low quality content. If your Rep drops below 25 your posts will be hidden. It is a way of making sure that people who are abusing the site by posting low quality content or continuously plagiarizing are kept in check.

You will find that in the beginning it is easy to raise your reputation score but as it gets higher it gets more difficult to earn points. This has everything to do with the logarithmic scaling meaning that it will get harder to earn reputation point at higher reputation levels. So it is going to take longer to get to the next level as your Rep goes up.

To summarize….A high Reputation score is good and and a reputation score lower than 25 is bad.
