As of 23 Nov 2017 this modification has been withdrawn.
This modification adds a set of extra checks whenever members try and give reputation to posts.
Some extra features have been added to the vb4 version (two based on requests in the 3.8 thread).
The main features are ;
Minimum Comment Size
If set, a reputaion comment must contain a minimum number of characters.
Positive Reputation Multiply Factor
Any positive reputation given will be multiplied by the "Positive Reputation Multiply Factor" - See also the Custom Factors below.
Negative Reputation Multiply Factor
Similar to above - any negative reputation given will be multiplied by the "Negative Reputation Multiply Factor".
Custom Forum Based Multiply Factors
As well as the default forum wide factor settings for positive and negative reputation, it is also possible to set custom values for specific forums. Again, please carefully read the setting notes on how to do this (examples are given). You cannot use this to overide the global maximum.
Custom Usergroup Based Multiply Factors
These are basically the same as the forum based custom factors, but based on the giving members usergroup. Note that by default these will override any forum based multiplier (but see the priority option below).
Multiply Factors Priority
By default, custom usergroup multipliers overide the custom forum multipliers, this option can be used to reverse this priority.
Closed Threads Limit
Posts in closed threads, that exceed the given age, cannot be given reputation.
Open Threads Limit
Posts in open threads, that exceed the given age, cannot be given reputation.
User Ban List
An option to ban individual members from being able to give reputation to anyone.
All settings are in vBulletin Options > Enhanced Reputation Checks
To install - Unzip the XML and import into vB using the ACP Product Manager.
Points to note ;
Posts that you cannot give reputation on will not display the reputation icon/link.
In order to give negative reputation to a post a comment must be supplied - this is part of default vb 3.6 onwards and cannot be changed by this modification.
If a member does not have permission to give negative reputation then any negative reputation they try and give will be set to zero - in default vb they ended up giving positive reputation.
If set, the vb fixed admin reputation value will still be multiplied by any Multiply Factors specified in this modification.
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 after any multiplication factors have been applied - so no member can give more than the set cap, no matter what factors are applied first.

Paul, any ideas on how to utilize this feature in addition to your Extended Reputation Display [https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231876] mod for 4.1.3 to keep the Extended Reputation but be able to cap the actual Reputation Power?
My only issue here is that we have certain users who rank up their rep very fast and in a year or so their actual reputation power will be in the hundreds (if not thousands), which is crazy seeing as one reputation given from them would give a new user, for example, a huge boost.
A reputation power cap is part of this modification.
Correct, but the Enhanced Reputation feature doesn't offer the reputation extension the Extension feature does.
My issue isn't getting the power cap to take affect in the Enhanced Reputation mod. It's getting it to stay applied when Extended Reputation is also turned on.
The issue is that when both are turned on and being utilized, the option to cap rep power does not work so long as the Extended Reputation Display mod is turned on. I've gone in later and turned Extended Reputation Display off and the rep cap power takes affect. The moment it's turned on in addition to Enhanced Reputation Checks, however, the cap no longer applies.
