Well, I know I'm replying to a 2 month old post, but this came up in my search and I figured this might be helpful.

I wanted to know the same thing, but didn't find any instructions on how to do this. So I figured it out for myself.

Open reputation.php and look for the following:

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'addreputation') 


Change that to:

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'addreputation' && strlen(trim($_POST['reason'])) > 0) 


Now if someone doesn't enter a comment the reputation will not be added. You may also want to edit the reputationbit template to note that.
