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.
