reputation scores are a way to instate a supergroup of people who have made their way to the top and will never ever come down
reputation scores are a way to put down people who have been branded as "bad" by some unknown entity down even further
reputation scores are basically literally How To Create A Bourgeoisie 101

people with a high reputation score will "always be right" and people with a low reputation score are always "bad"

it's just a number to tell you what to think of someone

having reputation scores is a fucking black mirror episode

there's literally a black mirror episode about it, iirc

@oddhack Technically, #klout still exists, though they deemphasized scores. But #Klouchebag is gone, sadly enough. Used it while working as a community manager to clue in my boss.

@b Mostly, it's ridiculously easy to game such a system.
