expectation setting: there will be a lot of FUD around Ethos & scores this week once we ship adjustments reminder, we have to make calls in the best interest of the protocol, not in the interest of individual people it comes from ensuring the scores are as ACCURATE as possible

Users have found ways to increase their credibility scores quickly by having large groups of people vouch minimal amounts for them That makes Ethos' economic security weak, so we're introducing EIP-13 "Vouching recalibration" Here's how it works ↓

as we continue to bring the scores everywhere, we must increase confidence from consumers, partners, integrators that scores represent reputation WELL many people at the top will lose 150-250 credibility score, but this will balance scores to be much more accurate and fair

we have to operate in the best interest of the business in the protocol. if no one values the Ethos score, the score is irrelevant - and your own score being higher than say, Vitalik's, is meaningless too.

I get it, it sucks. No one wants to look at their score and go "Ah shit, I'm less credible than yesterday??" especially if you've been on Ethos for a while I don't like shipping these types of updates. At all. but it is REQUIRED for Ethos to do this, consistently.

We've been thru this before, and we will be thru it again. Your score is live, fluid, and changes. It moves with everyone else's score, too. I cannot make a meaningful product unless we adapt, and thus.. adapt or die.
