I have only commented so far with only positive reception, all my comments are in the positives and I only have 5 downvote all I am pretty sure coming from the same person on the same thread, yet I have -5 rep, why?
if I add my positive upvotes, likes, whatever and subtract my 5 downvotes I would have 97-5 which is 92, why do only downvotes or negative interaction count but not positive?
I found this because I have the same concern. I should be positive 35, not -7. The reputation system as currently implemented doesn’t produce a reasonable result. I look like a troll to anyone who sees my profile.
