我相信有些人買讚的原因是因為要衝名聲。名聲基本上只要衝上去，就很難或掉下來。除非一直有發文、留言，被等級更高的人點爛。名聲等級設定是取原本名聲點數的對數和一些計算，會讓名聲等級遇上去要越多的名聲點數，成一個等比級數變化。
在發文(評論)者的當前收益為零，點爛要降低別人名聲，要達成點爛人的名聲>0且>被點爛人的名聲。受到這設定影響，是造成我買讚衝名聲的原因之一。因為會有一種受制於人的威脅感。在此我想提出幾個建議，希望能改變這種狀況。

一、點讚代表同意某篇文章的觀點，也提高一篇文章、留言的能見度。除了能得到策展者獎勵SP，應該也要有名聲點數。而點爛沒有名聲點數。我建議給點讚人、作者比 0.25:0.75的名聲點數，在HF21後也一樣。這也能激勵人們好好點讚優文。

二、因為上述此點，得到名聲點數會更容易，我就也提出一個仿生的機制來平衡，讓名聲值更貼近現實。名聲值應該隨著時間逐漸減少，且名聲等級越高，減少越多。例如25級不掉，26級每天掉1點，26級每天掉2點之類。我想用等差級數，不過不知道這對新手會不會太多，對老手太少，可以大家討論看看掉名聲要用什麼公式。
這麼一來，如果想光要靠買讚提高名聲的，就要一直持續買才能維持，如果真有人這麼做，也能增加steem的需求😊

三、改成名聲低的點爛名聲高的也可以降名聲，但是掉比較少，我提議差X級，效果為1/[10^(1/9)]^X 高等級點爛低等級的，效果沒加成，維持一樣。

以上的建議，公式、數字都歡迎討論應該怎麼改比較恰當。

Some people buy votes, I believe one of the reasons is to gain the reputation. Basically, once the reputation go up, it's hard to decrease. Unless the person keeps posting, leaving comments, and always get downvote by people with higher reputation. 
The reputation level= [log(reputation points)-9]*9+25, it gets harder to elevate to a higher level. Takes about 30% of current reputation points to get to next level.
When the reward of a post/comment is zero, it needs to meet that the reputation of the downvoter>0, and >the author's reputation. Affected by this, I buy votes to elevate my reputation. Cos I feel a threaten from people with higher reputation then me, and I can't take control of it. So I bring up some suggestion, hope to change the situation.

1. Upvote means agree with the post/comment, and promote the post/comment by the way. Besides the curation reward, the votes should also gain reputation. And the downvotes gets nothing. I suggest to give the reputation to upvoters and the author by the ratio of 0.25:0.75, same after the HF21. This can also encourage people to upvote good articles and reward good authors.

2. Due to this, people gets reputation easier. So I bring up with a biomimetic mechanism to balance this, and also makes it closer to the real society. The reputation should automatically declines by time. And it should drop quicker at a higher reputation level. E.g. no change in level 25, drop 1 reputation score each day in level 25, 2 per day in level 26... Anyway, I don't have a clear concept of how much a reputation score it needs, so I don't know if it is too much for a newbie and too insignificant to someone with high reputation. The formula is open for discussion.
Then in this case, if someone buy votes to gain reputation, he/she needs to keep buying to maintain, if he/she do so, it increase the demand of steem😊

3. Enable to lower the author's reputation when a downvoter has less reputation then the author. But should reduce the effect of the downvote. I suggest if the level difference # Header 1is lower by X, the decreased reputation of normal condition should be 1/[10^(1/9)]^X
And if the downvoter has higher reputation, keeps the same, no additional effect.

The number, formula above are open for discussion to make it proper.
