this feature is giving free exposure to trolls/ragebaiters, which is just what they want and its also much easier to gain a lot of negative reputation than positive. that means some people can just rate a bunch of level unfairly low scores or spamming AI reviews just for attentions.

if it somehow gets removed there should be a separate page for leaderboard for people with high positive reputation.

Just remove everyone with a negative reputation from reputation sort

On the subject of reputation, I really think there needs to be some sort of system in place for dealing with people whose reputation dips below a certain level (let's say, like -10 or -15.) I'm aware of the possible problems bots or sockpuppets could cause, but no person seems too intent to deal with the torrent of spam themselves.

Will bring what infra mentioned up for sure. Might be nice to have a system to flag members whose reputation dips that low in some capacity. I think reputation sort in itself is a fine feature but we'll see
