Why don't upvotes count? (kbin.social)

What is the possible reason why upvotes in Kbin do not add up to the overall Reputation, but downvotes do?

@1chemistdown In this reply, I didn't meant the upvote, but the boost (which is basically the share option). But the boost will add to Reputation. And I can boost myself.

So in short in Kbin currently:

  • upvote does not count as Reputation,
  • downvote count as Repuation,
  • and boost (share) count as Repuation.

It is easier in mass to upvote or downvote without spamming the system. Boost option won't be used as much. So the ratio for self regulation is lost.

Reputation is just a thing displayed on your profile, it doesn't matter.

It's just bugged and will hopefully be fixed soon.
