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.

I'm afraid that's not the way this works - and will never happen with this hack.

Great mod, very helpful thanks

I wonder if there's any way you could add the ability to specify different Reputation Quotas for each usergroup - in particular Moderators and Super Moderators.

That is, would it be possible to specify the total amount of Reputation points per day that members of a particular usergroup can have? At the moment VB only allows Admins to have a different Rep quota. I find that my moderators/super moderators need more than the default quota that all other users get (3 points on my forum).

Thank you so much for all of your hard work!

Nice mod, thank you very much.
What would I need to change to only require a comment for negative feedback?

I would love to install this but it is a bit limited in its current form for me. A quick suggestion:

Reputation Power Cap - Allow this to be different for different groups. This way an Admin or mod can have more Rep power than a normal user.

Also do you have plans to port this to vB3.6?

Yes, but no functionality will be added.

Any idea on when we may see this for 3.6? This one is necessary for me to upgrade. Thanks for the great work!

Paul mentioned to me via PM that this should work on 3.6 without modification (hope it's ok to repeat that). Has anyone tested it? I won't be upgrading to 3.6 until I am sure this will work.

thanks,

/me has tested it (on his 3.6 test site) ......

It works fine on my site running 3.6 Gold.
