Thanks a lot for your comment. Yes, it should be stored as raw unless both are stored. Moreover, using the same field name `reputation` can be quite confusing. As far as I know, it's used only internally now in Hivemind, so this should be fixed before it's too late.

By the way, the current precision is actually 6 https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/blockchainstudio/TyA1BuEz-Screen20Shot202019-01-2720at2010.21.1520PM.png
but it still loses the precision due to the conversion. You can actually see that inconsistency on Busy (user info vs feed/blog).
