Hello,
i need to know how many reputation points do scales give when choose "I aprove".
And most important - how to chage scale to give 1 point per use?
The problem is that for 2 years my users used only post hack button (gives 1 rep point) to make reputation and green bars and now for 2 weeks most of them got max green bars and level 100 in vBExperience with "scales". I don't want to remove that feature because of negative usage.
Now i want to recalculate their real reputation and rep power points!
Thanks!

What do you want? To recalculate reputation, go to
AdminCP -> Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild User Reputation
To find out how much reputation is given for every "I approve," go to
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options (twice) -> User Reputation Options
Remember, negative rep is given by half the amount of user's rep power!

I want every positive "I approve" action to give 1-2 reputation points, thats all!
I will try to explane. By now my users use only thank you hack which give 1 reputation point per use. Scales give 100-300 points and their rep power and level in vBExperience raised very quick for 4-5 usage of scales.

I am sorry but i cannot see where you can manage scales "I approve" points :/

I will recalculate when i make first action

Thanks, i didn't know that. Can I make it to give the same amount everytime it is used?

Yes, and to set the amount of points given, go to where I said so.
It isn't possible to make negative rep drop the same amount as positive rep.

Please be more specific. In User Reputation Options i see only preferences for reputation-altering power. Not for reputation points.
Which option do you think is determining how many points will be given when using scales "I approve" button?

The Rep Power is the amount of rep that can be given/taken.
There is no option to specifically state "This amount of rep will be given" Sorry.
Just play about with rep power settings to get what you need.

You are in mistake. Reputation points are part of reputation-altering power.
Since my Thanks hack give 1 reputation point i need scales to do the same.
Thanks for effort and please let someone else answer my question.

Now you are just going round in circles. I've told you several times how to change the amount of rep points given for every I approve and you don't seem to want to listen.
I have no idea what you are on about with "scales"? Please elaborate.

1. Scales button
2. I approve button
3. Thanks button
4. AdminCP -> User Reputations --> View Reputation Comments
5. "I approve" button used - gives 150, 133, 118 and other
6. "I disapprove" button used - as you said give "half the amount of user's rep power"
7. Thanked Post - give 1 reputation point.
I want "I approve" button to give the same as "Thanks" button and "I disapprove button to continiue work the same way.
If you think solution is in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options (twice) -> User Reputation Options please be more explicative which option do you think i can use from there and how.
Thanks.

Negative rep is given from half of the user's Reputation Power. It will not work in the same way as positive rep.
To set the Rep Power (the amount of rep that can be given/taken), you are in the right place, scroll down slightly to "Register Date Factor." The next two options after this, also allow for Rep Power. Change these options, and these will be the Factors that determine Rep Power.

Speysider, thanks again but how i can tell you that reputation power and repitation points are two different things? I dont wan't to change the way my reputation power is calculated.

Reputation Power is the number used to determine how much Reputation Points a user can give/take from others. Negative Reputation is given as exactly HALF of the total Rep Power.
Reputation Points is the total number of rep points a user has from others giving and taking.
Unfortunately, you won't get anymore than 1 point for each user when they reach a factor that boosts a users rep power.

It is possible "I approve" button to give choosen or same amount of points.
I want it to give everytime 1 point without installing mods, thats all.

That is probably coming from a mod that is installed.
You won't be able to replicate that without said mod.

You can't determine that directly, that's what Speysider is telling you. You need to determine it through factors like how many days user is a member, how many posts... At the moment there's no direct way to do that.
Am I wrong?

For the thanks, you can set it to any number you want
AdminCP > vB Options > vB Options > Post Thanks
Scroll down you will see setting.

It is not possible to edit the code to make the amount of rep power be the same as rep points.
Rep power is the amount of points that a user can +rep posts.
It is also given as -rep, which is half the total rep power (round if odd number)

I found myself a solution as i want it. A trigger in database.
Thanks to all.
