Rep System

[Poindexter]

We are about to purchase Xenforo and make the transition from vBulletin 4. The community here seems amazing.

Our users are big fans of the vBulletin reputation system. I've done some looking around and it appears there are at least two alternatives for XF, one by xfrocks and another by *******. Does anyone have familiarity with these or such system and do you have any suggestions on which to proceed with?

53 views, no replies. Would there be a better place to pose this question?

You're only going to get responses from those who have used those add-ons.
I haven't used either so can't help.

Before you consider using any ******* add-ons though, I would suggest reading this thread: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/*******-resource-removal.92263/

Okay, thank you.

It's really unfortunate, but the original developer of the reputation addon I use, @borbole, sold his addons to ******* to develop and support. Of course, the above drama then happened. I don't blame the original developer for selling the addons at all, it just happened to work out badly for his users that ******* turned out to not be trustworthy.

In addition, @xfrocks seems to have removed his reputation addon... which appears to have left XF completely without a reputation addon that can be trusted.

I hear you on the need for one - our users were entrenched in the reputation functionality of VB.

You could replace some of that functionality with the Post Ratings addon:

I have my own question,

Can a member's amount of (mybb) rep points be imported into their number of likes?

@xfrocks rep add-on seems to work pretty well.
