User Reputation System

[James Lewitzke]

I've made the following changes to the Conspiracy-Forums reputation system:

Clickable Box:

• Now members can easily give others Rep by easily clicking on the "Add to my Reputation" box.
• This should be easier to find than the scales that were buried away in the former postbit.

Rep Given Comments:

• In the UserCP members should notice that there is now a "Reputation Given" Table that will display members who you've given reputation to.
• This plugin also offers your rep-altering power, so you know by how much your rep will affect others.

Reputation Totals:

• Just hover over the word "Rep" in the postbit (next to the green squares) to find out a members total rep amount.
• This will make it easier for members curious what others reputations are exactly.

I will update everyone in this thread if rep levels, new user ranks, etc. change. Hopefully the new features will ease the use of the system for everyone .

Alright, here are the rep-determining factors:

Register Date Factor
For every 100 days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Post Count Factor
For every 50 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Reputation Point Factor
For every 100 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.

Minimum Post Count
Users must have 5 posts before their reputation hits count on others.

Minimum Reputation Count
Users must have 10 points of reputation before their reputation hits count on others.

Daily Reputation Clicks Limit
Users can give 3 reputation clicks over each 24 hour period.

Reputation User Spread
Users must spread reputation to 2 different users before you can hit the same person again.


This thread will be updated when changes are made to the rep system, so look here for the differences in numbers when the time comes.

Nice upgrades, James.

Do you think there will be any rep races?

Thanks Dave,

Maybe before it gets to out of control as a side system
