Rep should just be removed, it's proven that its meaningless. I could upvote someone right now with a 100% upvote from our curation trail and take a new account from 25 to over 55 on one post. The whole thing is essentially bunk.

Apparently, someone actually owns hive.blog and runs it, and has TOS on banning people from being able to do things and rules and what not. It can all easily be handled by whoever owns the platform, need for rep that is easily gamed(which makes it useless).
