# 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.
