Enhanced Reputation Checks
 

As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.

This modification adds a set of extra checks whenever members try and give reputation to posts.
Some extra features have been added to the vb4 version (two based on requests in the 3.8 thread).

The main features are ;

Minimum Comment Size
If set, a reputaion comment must contain a minimum number of characters.

Positive Reputation Multiply Factor
Any positive reputation given will be multiplied by the "Positive Reputation Multiply Factor" - See also the Custom Factors below.

Negative Reputation Multiply Factor
Similar to above - any negative reputation given will be multiplied by the "Negative Reputation Multiply Factor".

Custom Forum Based Multiply Factors
As well as the default forum wide factor settings for positive and negative reputation, it is also possible to set custom values for specific forums. Again, please carefully read the setting notes on how to do this (examples are given). You cannot use this to overide the global maximum.

Custom Usergroup Based Multiply Factors
These are basically the same as the forum based custom factors, but based on the giving members usergroup. Note that by default these will override any forum based multiplier (but see the priority option below).

Multiply Factors Priority
By default, custom usergroup multipliers overide the custom forum multipliers, this option can be used to reverse this priority.

Closed Threads Limit
Posts in closed threads, that exceed the given age, cannot be given reputation.

Open Threads Limit
Posts in open threads, that exceed the given age, cannot be given reputation.

User Ban List
An option to ban individual members from being able to give reputation to anyone.

All settings are in vBulletin Options > Enhanced Reputation Checks

To install - Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.

Points to note ;

• Posts that you cannot give reputation on will not display the reputation icon/link.
  
• In order to give negative reputation to a post a comment must be supplied - this is part of default vb 3.6 onwards and cannot be changed by this modification.
  
• If a member does not have permission to give negative reputation then any negative reputation they try and give will be set to zero - in default vb they ended up giving positive reputation.
  
• If set, the vb fixed admin reputation value will still be multiplied by any Multiply Factors specified in this modification.
  
• If the negative reputation factor is 0.5 (to replicate default vb) then there will be one minor difference, a member whose positive reputation power is 1 will have a negative reputation power of 0, in default vb this would be -1.
  
• The reputation cap is checked after any multiplication factors have been applied - so no member can give more than the set cap, no matter what factors are applied first.

Good Onya Paul, Happy New Year. Havent installed but watching :)

Nice... I had not seen this before, I guess I overlooked it last time. Will be nice to enhance a feature which has been lacking for years on my site.

Glad you ported it over to 4.0, it's a really good mod. Will be installing this when I make the switch. Thanks Paul.

Thanks Paul. Nice work! :)

Anyone is free to translate any of my modifications and attach the translated phrases.

Thanks Paul, hopefully this will work as an addition to the post thanks mod when it finally works.

Finally works ? There are no bugs in this Im aware of.

Paul, I was referring to the 'post thanks mod' that has some major problems, so as this one works, I'll use this instead.

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed for the overhaul I'll be doing on my site! This is perfect!

This hasn't quite worked right since it was updated to 4.0 compatibility... I'm an admin and I can't give negative reputation. I choose "I Disapprove" and type a message and the popup alert confirms that I've given POSITIVE reputation.

It's not my browser - I can log in as a test user and leave negative reputation.
It's not my settings - Admin users are allowed to leave negative reputation ("Yes" is chosen)
It's not the plugin's settings - I can change them and still am unable to leave negative reputation.

It IS - my usergroups. I have one other admin user and he reports the same thing. He's not able to give negative, or rather, when he tries it ends up positive like mine.

It IS - the plugin. If I disable it, I can give negative reputation.

I'm going to take a look at playing with the plugin myself here and I'll report back if I find the code that seems to fix it.

Tagged for future install and thank you very much :)

I appear to be able to replicate this, so I will investigate.

Fixed in 4.0.2

JFYI, this was not related to being an admin, it was a bug in the capping of negative reputation - if the neg rep value exceeded the cap, it was being converted to the positive cap value.

That makes sense, and also explains why I couldn't figure out why I didn't find the reason for the bug looking around at the settings and code related to usergroups and admins and so on.

Thank you. I installed it and this now works. Appreciate it.

nice

Wow I need this! Wonder if their is a way to stop Rep Farming more effectivley also. GJ

Does this add any queries?

Thanks for mod! I used with 3.8 but having load issues on 4.0.

Nope.

how to display, Good reputation / Bad reputation in the list?
maybe you can give green icon for good reputation, or red icon for bad reputation?

thank you

Are we able to report abusive reputation with this mod or not?

Nope.

how do i display rep power ?

I will give it a shot.

Well I am sorry to say I had to uninstall it. I got it working for the most part but I think the regular rep system will be good enough for us right now.

How can i set a maximum reputation value?

does this mod display the rep comment in the post?

This is not a display modification.

will you update this hack into "checking" the post quality as well?
(for example the minimum characters of the post that can be given reputation)

Nope, no such change is planned.

Updated: This is now available for the 4.1.x series of vBulletin only.

Paul, any ideas on how to utilize this feature in addition to your Extended Reputation Display [https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231876] mod for 4.1.3 to keep the Extended Reputation but be able to cap the actual Reputation Power?

My only issue here is that we have certain users who rank up their rep very fast and in a year or so their actual reputation power will be in the hundreds (if not thousands), which is crazy seeing as one reputation given from them would give a new user, for example, a huge boost.

A reputation power cap is part of this modification.

Correct, but the Enhanced Reputation feature doesn't offer the reputation extension the Extension feature does.

My issue isn't getting the power cap to take affect in the Enhanced Reputation mod. It's getting it to stay applied when Extended Reputation is also turned on.

Sorry, I dont understand what you mean. Extended Reputation is a display mod, it has no connection to the giving of rep.

OK, I'll try to explain better:

I'm currently utilizing two of your mods:

1. Enhanced Reputation Checks (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...98#post2279598)

2. Extended Reputation Display (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231876)

--

The issue is that when both are turned on and being utilized, the option to cap rep power does not work so long as the Extended Reputation Display mod is turned on. I've gone in later and turned Extended Reputation Display off and the rep cap power takes affect. The moment it's turned on in addition to Enhanced Reputation Checks, however, the cap no longer applies.

Does this make sense?

None at all.

As I said, Extended Reputation Display is purely a display mod, it has no effect on given reputation, it cannot.

What exactly are you doing to make you think it no longer applies ?
