In this code:

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('ddd_mod_reputation_score');
    $templater->register('threadbit_reputation_given', $threadbit_reputation_given);
    $templater->register('$threadbit_reputation', $$threadbit_reputation);
$templatevalues['insert_reputation_var'] = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', $templatevalues); 


When you register $threadbit_reputation, you don't want the $ in there. Also, if threadbit_reputation_given is only used in $show['threadbit_reputation_given'] you don't need to register it. So maybe try this:

PHP Code:

$templater = vB_Template::create('ddd_mod_reputation_score');
    $templater->register('threadbit_reputation', $threadbit_reputation);
$templatevalues['insert_reputation_var'] = $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMHOME', $templatevalues); 


ETA: ...or maybe what you want is to leave in the registering of 'threadbit_reputation_given' and change the template to <vb:if condition="$threadbit_reputation_given">...
