Reputation Rules Plugin for NodeBB
Rules to prevent abuse of the reputation system and reward most valuable users.
Rules
Rule #1
Upvoting In order to upvote, the user must have
-
{MIN_POSTS_TO_UPVOTE}posts or more - at least
{MIN_DAYS_TO_UPVOTE}days since registration
Rule #2
Downvoting In order to downvote, the user must have
-
{MIN_POSTS_TO_DOWNVOTE}posts or more - at least
{MIN_DAYS_TO_DOWNVOTE}since registration -
{MIN_REPUTATION_TO_DOWNVOTE}reputation or more
Rule #3
Downvoting costs {DOWNVOTE_PENALIZATION} reputation (user who votes loses some reputation)
Rule #4
One user can't vote (up or down) more than X times a day, being X = reputation/10. With a minimum of 5 and a max of 50
Rule #4.1
One user can't downvote more than 5 times a day. Zero to disable this maximum
Rule #5
Reputation can be disabled in certain subforums
Rule #6
A user cannot vote the same person twice in a month
Rule #7
A user cannot vote more than 5 messages in the same thread
Rule #8
Upvotes give extra reputation depending on the user who is voting:
- extra reputation =
floor(votersReputation * 5%)(you can change this percentage in the ACP)
Downvotes decrease extra reputation depending on the user who is voting:
- extra reputation =
floor(votersReputation * 5%)(you can change this percentage in the ACP)
Rule #9
Undoing votes:
- undoing an upvote should remove extra reputation awarded when upvote was given (extra rep should not be recalculated)
- undoing a downvote should remove penalization to voter and give the extra reputation the author lost when he got the downvote
Rule #10
Upvotes and downvotes should have a maximum weight, configurable. So that rule #8 doesn't make vote points tend to infinity.
Rule #11
Optional: you can limit upvotes and downvotes to recent posts. In other words, if a message is too old, users won't be able to vote it.
You can configure what "too old" means for you, for example 30 days, 90 days, or 0 if you want to disable this feature and allow votes in old posts.
Note unvotes are always allowed.
