Disabling Reputation Comments

[BasTyra]

I'm trying to turn off the reputation comments for users. I don't want them to be able to leave comments for each other, just use the system.

I can't find a thread about it anywhere on here, even though I know it's a popular adaptation for the boards.

Might someone help me out, please?

AdminCp -> vB Options -> User Reputation (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/vboptions_reputation).

Yeah, super answer. Now point to the part in that page that says "Turn comments on and off."

So, anyone that wants to take a shot at the actual question and provide an actual answer?

Did you ever think that perhaps the previous poster simply misread your question....? :rolleyes:

Usergroups - Usergroup Manager - select usergroup - User Reputation Permissions

Yep, I thought that. In fact it's fairly obvious that that's what he did. On the other hand, just pointing someone at the instruction manual as though they A) Don't know where to find it, and B) never bothered to check it is kind of snippy.

So I responded in the manner I was met. Much like your "roll eyes" little icon implies that you're thinking I'm being stupid, when you too have not answered the question, but think you have.

So, here's an idea. If we want other people to not be nasty, let's not be nasty ourselves.

As to the answer you offered:


Usergroups - Usergroup Manager - select usergroup - User Reputation Permissions

The options regarding reputation that exist in this menu are as follows:

Can See Who Left User Ratings
Yes No

Can Use Reputation
Yes No

Can Hide Reputation from Others
Yes No

Can Leave Negative Reputation
Yes No


And here's (eternalkeep.com/public/repcom.JPG) a picture of the menu you sent me to as well.

So... Which one of those controls the ability to turn user comments on and off?:rolleyes:

So, let's knock off the rolling eyes and the treating me like I'm totally stupid, then complaining when I do it back as the people who offer such simple answers do so with arrogance and then are wrong.

Let's... Just focus on the question, if we can, and learn to play nice with others:



"How do I disable comments for the user reputation system site-wide?"

If anyone can actually answer that instead of talking down to me or thinking that I've overlooked something terribly obvious (which is possible, I confess), that'd be really super.

I'd also welcome the chance to change my tone back to what it was when I started the thread, as soon as the people I am being met by offer that opportunity.

I had misread your question, sorry. However, we are trying to help you like users, BasTyra. Get a life.

[Dismounted]

Get a life.
That was uncalled for....

Did you find the answer? I want to do this too!

AdminCp -> vBulletin Options -> User Reputation Comments

Number of Reputation Ratings to Display
Controls how many ratings to display in the user's control panel.

Change the value to 0.

Does this prevent users from leaving comments when they click "add to this users reputation"? I don't want people to enter them.

[aeturner89]

Hmmmm that alone won't stop people from leaving comments... just prevent people from seeing them. I'm not sure of a work around to prevent comments.

The only way I am aware that this can be done is to edit the reputatationbit template
(AdminCP>styles & templates> Style manager> Edit templates (for your chosen style) user reputation> reputationbit)

Find and remove:
<tr>
<td>
$vbphrase[your_comments_on_this_post]:<br />
<input type="text" class="bginput" size="40" maxlength="250" name="reason" id="reason_$postid"/>
</td>
</tr>
Hope this helps.
