I hope that makes sense.

Yes, makes perfect sense. What we can do is get this done with just one query. While this code (hopefully) won't be called often, it's a good idea to get in the practice of minimizing the number of queries for any operation.

PHP Code:

global $userinfo;

$vbulletin->db->query_write("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
SET reputation = (reputation - (375*ipoints))
WHERE userid = " . $userinfo['userid']
);
