I think rep scores should be done away with altogether. They really don't signify much and can be bought. Age of the account, manual upvotes received, and unique comments given might be a better way to discern if someone is a bonafide blogger and/or an at-large steemian. That and more large curators like @curie and @mspcuration would improve things. They are really good a finding the quality posts. Next time check out their feeds. You will find some good stuff there:)
