- Reputation is just number. Any user can know how active you are in Codidact by seeing your repo.
- <h3>Why reputation is needed?</h3>
- As [@Monica Cellio answered](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/281378ysicsOverflow) is a next-generation academic platform for physicists and astronomers, in#answer-281378) repo doesn't affect your ability. While it does in SO. Actually I was very active user in SO and Unix SE. Sometimes I ask question right there not every time I got answers. Sometimes lot of user answers "simultaneously" we get in trouble that which answer I should try(It happens only when user is completely new to that technology or knowledge). So, obviously I will choose a professional's answer. By seeing the reputation we can know who is professional. That's why reputation is needed.

- Look reputation isn't useless. Sometimes lot of user asks poor quality question. No one wants to review on a poor quality post. And, I personally like the reputation system of Codidact rather than SE (SE has the feature for answer not for question) cause, when we get downvote our reputation decreases but, if we remove that post than we get our reputations again while it doesn't have in SE. While user asks a poor quality question/answer we mark that as negative. There's another function I like there's differences of downvotes and upvotes. That's why we can know how helpful the post is by seeing the votes. You may say that your question was about reputation not upvotes and downvotes. But, your reputation decreases or increases depending on quality(upvotes and downvotes) of post that's why I added information of it.

- I remember I was bargaining with a Mathematician about a simple Math. Then, I told him that I am correct even, I showed him some articles in Quora. He replied,"I don't believe Quora cause, Quora is public place Q&A site. Anyone can answer there." Then, I didn't reply to him. I decided to look at upvote and downvote then, I noticed my answers have less upvote than, his. That's why upvote and downvote is very useful. But, you question was why there was reputation system. Actually, when we write bigger answers in Q&A site. And, if we can't get anything from them. Than, we don't feel good. But, when we see that we can gain reputation by those upvote and downvotes we feel happy. Even, when someone downvote (negative reputation) on our post we think that we should update our question. That's why reputation is very useful.
