RE: Core dev meeting #52

Can you look at making reputation scores go down faster than they go up?
With all the high rep people that have been losing their minds, some way to get that rep down once it goes past ~75 is desirable, imo.
I'd further think it desirable for high rep people to be more accountable.
Perhaps once past 75, accounts up to 3 points lower can affect their reputations to the negative.
We have a number of accounts with very high scores and very low reputations with 'the community', and there is currently nothing we can do about it.

Reputation is kind of a bad metric that should go away eventually. The idea was good in theory but in practice there are too many misaligned incentives, automated votes and it's generally too easy to game. I don't think any amount of tweaking would solve it unless a complete overhaul is made.

@blocktrades is working on that although don't expect that to show up soon, it's a project far in the horizon as it's low priority.
