Thread: vBulletin Reputation Settings

Source: vBulletin Manual

User Reputation

This section contains many settings that dictate how users of your forum are able to affect each other's reputation score.

Enable User Reputation system
This is the global switch for the reputation system. If you disable this, users will not be able to rate each other nor will their scores be visible.

Default Reputation
This is the reputation score that new users will start out with.

Number of Reputation Levels to Display
When a user enters their User CP, they will see a list of their most recent reputation ratings. This affects how many of the latest ratings to display.

Administrator's Reputation Power
If you wish to have administrator's wield a certain reputation power independent of their calculated score, enter it here. Otherwise, set this to 0 and they will use the same calculations as everyone else.

Register Date Factor
The number of reputation points that a user is able to give or take is dependant on several factors, with the length they have been registered as one of them. A user's power is first initialized at 1 and then this factor and the factors that follow are used to increase it. For example if you set this to 365, every 365 days that the user has been a member of your forum, they would gain one point. So if they have been a member for five years, they would gain 5 points of power for a total of 6.

Post Count Factor
The amount of posts that a user has can also affect their reputation power. Set this to number of posts that you want to award one point for. For example, set this to 50 and for a user with 500 posts, they would gain 10 points of power.

Reputation Point Factor
The users current reputation score can also affect their reputation power. Set this to 100 and a user with a reputation of 1000 would gain 10 points of reputation power. If you set any of the power factors to 0, that will effectively remove that factor from having an effect on the user's reputation power.

Minimum Post Count
If the reputation system is enabled, anyone will be able to rate a post but only users with a post count above the level you set here will be able to actually give points or take points from another user.

Minimum Reputation Count
As with the post count above, a user must have a reputation above this level to be able to give or take points from another user's score.

Daily Reputation Clicks Limit
This sets how many unique members that a forum user will be able to rate in any 24 hour period. Administrators can rate as many people as they wish.

Reputation User Spread
This setting dictates how many unique members that a user must rate before they are able to rate the same member twice. The goal of this setting is to stop a member from either artificially bumping or dropping a user by repeatedly rating their posts.

Hope that Admin will make some changes to settings soon (especially the last two).

wat is the use of this repo ???

No use in particular - just a healthy competiton on reputation of a user. Also gives the user a sense of being recognized by other members.

So.....
What is the current reputation system IBF is following?
I mean the way of deciding reputation power from the above factors.

yup, i would like to know the current values those settings have, as well.

Me too, me too, wanna know...

Adminji is online now.......

Current reputation system is default. I am not aware of the exact settings.

I support this idea & Repo for you....

Repo from me too.

And one for me too.

Reputation system is integral part of vBulletin. To replace with the system mentioned will require a lot of modification. The repo system is indeed like a "Thank you" note that is mentioned. Hence, valuable as the suggestion is, it cannot be implemented.

The only problem is that we are unable to repo same people again and again. This is to prevent misuse of the system. I do not know whether these settings can be changed per user. If it can, I suggest the following:

Daily Reputation Clicks Limit
(This sets how many unique members that a forum user will be able to rate in any 24 hour period. Administrators can rate as many people as they wish.)
0-500 posts: default setting
500-1000 posts: 20
1000-2000 posts: 30
2000+: 50
Admin/Mods: unlimited

Reputation User Spread
(This setting dictates how many unique members that a user must rate before they are able to rate the same member twice. The goal of this setting is to stop a member from either artificially bumping or dropping a user by repeatedly rating their posts.)
0-500 posts: default setting
500-1000 posts: 15
1000-2000 posts: 10
2000+: 5
Admin/Mods: 0

Please talk to admin.

Yes I had all the time but Ive got a new dart board and have stick a picture of Ramalingam Raju and have been busy throwing darts at his face all day yesterday...

Not litrally... I was busy counting the amount of money I lost due to this ass called raju

I will change the reputation system today by all means

@admin, will we see the changes soon?

New users should start with Reputation = 1. Else their repo's don't count.

i still support the thanks MOD

Now your rep power is 1..


@J4K
Did you talked to admin regarding that zero rep power? I saw that initially rahul's rep power was 0 but after 5th post it turned to 1... So does it changed after 5th post for newly joined member???

I have no idea of the exact settings. I thought that rep power changed to 1 after 15 posts. But maybe if the thread solicits responses, the power changes quicker.
