Thread: Variable Reputation (choose how much rep to give)

Allow users to choose how much rep to give, up to the max amount of a "full rep".

With the thanks button gone, the option to rep members a little bit for a good, but not great/awesome post doesnt exist. This is more problematic for the more active members with higher reps.

There are mods available that allow for this & many questions regarding custom modifications are answered in the discussion thread:

for example
Let user choose how many reputation points to give (up to their limit). - vBulletin.org Forum

I was actually thinking about this the other day, it is obvious that the members with more rep should have a better understanding of what is a Rep-worthy post, but may be hesitant to rep something knowing that their rep will add a larger amount than they feel is appropriate. At the very least options for simple amounts would be good. Something like three choices: 1 point of rep, half rep-power, full rep . . . that would give a little more play than the current system of all or nothing.

what Bandersnatch said...
it's been suggested many times before and the response is always the same "there isn't a plugin for vB.4"

+2 votes from me (one extra because i'm super cool)

Here is the prior thread for reference:

Rep power or Thanks button

well if I am not mistaken everyones rep power was nerf to compensate for the loss of the thank button so no member has super rep power anymore

it's still a moderately substantial amount, i went from nothing to over 50 in like 3 reps i think.

yeah but if you were to rep some one it is probably like 15 your rep power which is nothing compared to that before the nerf I was close to 200

TIL 'nerf' means 'weaken'. Had to look that up cause i didn't understand shadowbuild - but I figured it didn't have anything to do with the NERF brand, which I also just learned stands for Non-Expanding Recreational Foam... personally, I think ERF would be more fun

Just thought I'd post that in case anybody else was in the same boat as me.
