The account with the top reputation right now owns to Hive account@stellabelle with a reputation of 72.1 (check her content, she is for a reason at this place). You can see the reputation of each user next to their account name like this:

You can check easily all account reputations on this great site...

The reputation system was implemented to the platform a couple of days back and it is currently calculated like this:

The website interprets the raw score based on max( 1, int(log10(abs(score))) - 8 )

If you have some programing skills you can review the open source code on github:

NOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

The problem is that the numbers are misleading because of the way we are all thinking about them !

Anyone is expecting that the top reputation account would have a valuation of 100 not 72 (!) right?

We are all accustomed to see scores from 1-100 or 1-10 or from a-c etc...

Our mind believes that an average score is from 50-60 maybe (not from 30-50 like it is now) right?
look at the founders Hive account@ned and Hive account@dan reputation for example....

Wow that's sucks isn't it?

The founders of steemit with a reputation of 59 and 66 ???

That was just an example!
In reality this numbers are excellent but they seem lame because they don't adjusted the numbers is such way that the top account get's a reputation of 100 and all other accounts change accordingly/proportional !!!

The fix is easy !
Take the top steemit account ( Hive account@stellabelle for now) and find every-time the number that is needed to multiply it to current reputation to get the magic reputation number of .... 100 !!!
so at this time
... 100/72.1= 1.387
so the only thing that the platform must do today is to multiply all account reputation scores with 1.387

So that would mean practically that at this point of time ...

Hive account@stellabelle would have a reputation of 100 (instead of 72 )
Hive account@dan would have a reputation of 92 (instead of 66)
Hive account@ned would have a reputation of 82 (Instead of 59)

Is this not much better and easier to understand?
Would that not make all userbase happier?

Keep it simple....
