Mitch Reputation — A Real Reputation System for XenForo
Most reputation systems stop at “likes.”
Mitch Reputation goes further.
This add-on introduces a powerful, explainable, and extensible reputation engine built entirely on XenForo core data — no third-party dependencies, no black-box scoring.
Instead of a single opaque number, Mitch Reputation calculates reputation from multiple activity sources, applies intelligent scaling, assigns visible tiers, and keeps a full history of how each user’s reputation changes over time.
How reputation is calculated
Reputation is calculated automatically using a weighted combination of core XenForo signals:
Reactions received
Message count (with diminishing returns)
Days registered (with diminishing returns)
Trophy points
Warning points (penalty)
Manual admin adjustments
Each source can be enabled, scaled, capped, or disabled entirely.
Smart by design
Diminishing returns prevent message spam or age inflation
Tiered scaling keeps reputation meaningful long-term
Transparent breakdowns show exactly where points come from
No hidden math — admins can always explain the score
Reputation tiers
Users are automatically assigned a reputation tier based on their score:
New
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Elite
Legend
Mythic
Tiers are displayed visually and can be styled independently.
Reputation history
Users can view a full reputation history timeline, showing
What changed
When it changed
Which source caused it
How the total score was affected
Admins can always answer: “Why did my reputation change?”
Admin tools
Manual reputation adjustments with reasons
Per-user reputation explain page
One-click rebuild for individual users
Background bulk rebuild job for all users
Automatic rebuild triggers when relevant stats chang
Performance & safety:
All heavy work runs in background jobs
No template hacks or global CSS pollution
Fully compatible with XenForo 2.3+
Designed to survive upgrades and large communities
Core-only, future-ready:
Mitch Reputation uses only XenForo core data by default.
Its modular source system makes it easy to expand later (reactions given, thread creation, etc.) without rewriting the engine.
Feature List (Bullet version)
Advanced reputation calculation engine
Multiple core reputation sources
Diminishing returns to prevent abuse
Automatic rebuild triggers
Bulk rebuild background job
Reputation tiers with visual badges
User-facing reputation history
Admin explain & rebuild tools
Manual reputation adjustments
Clean UI, add-on scoped styling
XenForo 2.3+ compatible
