Hive's rep system is decent. Takes a lot of work to make it rise and only a few screw ups to make it drop. No different than earning trust in life, really. When folks were buying their reputation with paid votes, that made it useless. Massive self votes screw it up as well. One can still look to see how things came to be. Buying a check mark, anyone can do that, even people with bad reputations. People who can't afford their status symbol, can also be good people.

Yeah for sure. I mean it's not without it's faults but I really do value my rep. And I know it's just a number, but to me it's the time invested that the number represents.
Time invested and consistency I suppose. And of course it's wrong to judge someone based on that number. Can easily see a new account a mile away though. New accounts can see at least some level of experience without knowing you. And like I said, one can still question it, and look into the account on their own, provided they know what to look for, and get a better feel for it. Can't do that with a paid for status symbol.
Yup, very good points!
