Where do we go from here? Do we need to upvote a champion to lvl 80, so he can chop haejin back down to size?@holoz0r copped similar earlier.
Now he has the highest rep, nobody can bring it down, @themarkymark has been posting about it.

As it stands now, rep is meaningless outside of flagging and impression to new users and outside audience.
Unless youre score goes under 10 and can't post any images
Only whales can dent his rep. We can support those he attacks.
Actually, this is not true, no one can change his rep in the downward direction.
That's a shame. It shouldn't be able to get that high if the votes are mostly from one account. I suppose we need someone to get a higher rank and flag him.
I fully expect him to flag this post too, but I felt I had to say something.
As I keep reading these posts, I am coming to realise I did not fully understand the full implications. I still am against kimjungpoo as I think it was unfair to flag me for an innocent comment; however I did not realise that haejin nearly only voted for himself.
I won't flag him, but I have now removed him from my followed list and will not upvote him in future.
Why is it possible to upvote your own posts?
To counteract flagging perhaps. Even if it was not allowed people could do it using proxies. Some do it purely for profit. I only use it if I get flagged
So if you use it for when u get flagged why do you hold it against haejin when he uses it the same way?
Touché! Okay, but his votes is worth a lot more than mine and he is making thousands each day anyway. He voted up his own comment for $67 before anyone flagged it. I don't go around flagging anyone who disagrees with me. I care about making steemit his for more people and one person voting themselves massive rewards goes against that. I count his rancho votes as self votes too.
I think it might be a good idea to decouple self-upvotes from being able to have an impact on boosting your own reputation score, as well as bid-bots. IDK how that would be done, or if it could be done, in a hard-fork? That way, a rich @$$hole can't just come into this space and buy themselves instant "reputation."
I mean, take a guy like @papa-pepper - here from the start, did a lot of hard work, learning how to do good posts, promoting contests, "giving it away" almost as much as he got it. How can some puke like @haejin even be mentioned in the same category as papa pepper? He can't.
The simple fact is that the SteemIt reputation score doesn't really mean a whole lot. Look at @berniesanders. Love him or hate him, most anyone who's been around SteemIt knows something about him. He's also a 'celebrity' on this platform - albeit one who obviously got eaten and spit out by a whale, at some point in his past.
Apparently your rep can only be damaged by those with a higher rep, which might be the reason for the sudden spike in retaliation flags.
