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.

Hey paul, I installed just because I wanted to stop giving reputation in closed threads.

But I had to set

Closed Threads Limit
Posts in closed threads, that are older than this limit, cannot be given reputation. The value is in days - zero means unlimited.

to 0.000000000000001 !

Because I don't want people giving any reputation in closed threads!

Any chance you could have a 'never' option of some kind if you update?

Very minor thing, you had it defaulting to require a comment, I had to immediately turn that off, I suggest you default it to off.

Anything less than 0.00001 is a waste as that's about 1 second

Nope, those that want to do this can do it as you have.

Not a chance - I don't think anyone should give reputation to a post without a comment of some sort, even if it's just a smile or a thumbs up.

A second's too long :/

Well that's a personal POV.

I use public display of affection, popular posts rack up lots of 'agrees' or 'disagrees' so with, some without comments. Anyhow...

I ended up having to uninstall this because some setting or other was stopping negative reputation comments show up in posts. This was possibly a conflict with the public display of affection hack I'm running.

If reputation has been given then this cannot stop that reputation showing up - it can only change the value (at the time the rep is given [or prevent it being given in the first place]).

That's fine, that's why there is the choice, and your choice is to turn it off, however - the default will remain as on.

Much appreciated, installed on 3.5.2 and all is well.

Paul I have a question about this:

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.

I want certain forums to have lower reputation value. Say I want those to have half the value of other forums.

Can I just set "Higher Reputation Multiply Factor " to 0.5 ?

If not, how hard would it be to include a 'Lower Reputation Forum List' / 'Lower Reputation Multiply Factor' ?

Yes, you can set any value.

Yes, I have the same problem. If we want it must recalculate old reputation it should recalculate it after the installation.

I think you add this feature too, doesnt it?
