Enhanced Reputation Given Checks

This modification is no longer available or supported.

This adds a set of extra checks for whenever members try and give reputation to posts.


Reputation Power Cap
Sets the maximum reputation giving power for any member.

Higher Reputation Forum List
Any reputation given in the forums listed will be multiplied by the "Higher Reputation Multiply Factor".

Higher Reputation Multiply Factor
See above : Forums in the "Higher Reputation Forum List" will have any reputation given multiplied by this factor.

No Reputaion Forum List
List of Forums in which members cannot give reputation to posts.

Open Threads Limit
Posts in open threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation.

Closed Threads Limit
Posts in closed threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation.

Negative Reputation Multiply Factor
All negative reputation is multiplied by this factor (by default vb sets negative reputation to half of positive reputation).

Require Reputation Comment
Members must leave a comment in order to give a post reputation.


Points to note ;

• If a member does not have permission to give negative reputation then any negative reputation they give will be set to zero - in default vb they ended up giving positive reputation.
  
• The vb fixed admin reputation setting is multiplied by the negative reputation factor - in default vb it was the same value for both positive & negative, while everyone elses negative was half the positive value.
  
• 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 before any multiplication factors are applied - also the Forum Multiply and Negative Multiply are cumulative (e.g. if the cap is 40, and you have a forum multiply of 3, and a negative multiply of 2, a member could give a rep of -40 * 3 * 2 = -240).
  

History:

v1.04 : Initial Public Release.
v1.05 : Fixed zero reputation bug reported by sinaluna in Post #51.
v1.06 : Minor changes, no update necessary.

Very Nice & Needed Mod!

THanks! -vissa

If we "rebuild" the user reps, will these new scoring actions take affect on the rebuilt score? For example, will it give them extra rep for forums I've specified even on old posts (if rebuilt)? What about forums that are not supposed to have rep -- will those still count if rebuilt?

Thanks -vissa

It would be great if we could somehow have 3 or 4 different multiplier categories... (and have fractional multipliers -- maybe that's already possible).. So I can have some forums worth a lot more, some worth the normal amount, some worth less, and others 0.

I've not looked at the rebuild code, but I assume it processes all the scores stored in the reputation table - so it will rebuild them as per the points stored at the time the reputation was given.

You can use any number, not just integers.

A multiplier per Forum would be great. If you build that, it would be easier to handle big Forums.
A Forum that should not count, can be have a multiplier of zero, and any other the special. So are also more multipliers possible what would be a great benefit.

I'll test it... and I think I will use it.

Edit: I just tested it, and with a recalculation of the Reputation, the Settings takes no effekt. Thats Bad.

[Paul M]

There are no plans to make this a per forum option, or infact, any other alterations to it.

[Hoffi]

What about the recalculation of Reputation?

Erm, I don't understand the question.
