Mitch Reputation 1.7.2

A modern, transparent reputation & leaderboard system for XenForo ​

Mitch Reputation is a full-featured reputation system designed to give XenForo communities a fair, visible, and engaging way to recognize meaningful participation — without turning reputation into a shallow popularity contest.


This addon replaces the idea that “reactions alone = reputation” and introduces a multi-factor scoring system, clear reputation tiers, and powerful leaderboards that grow with your community.


Built cleanly, upgrade-safe, and with long-term expansion in mind.

Many reputation systems reward noise instead of value.
Mitch Reputation is designed to reward consistency, contribution, and longevity, not just who clicks the most buttons.


Reputation is calculated automatically using core XenForo data, meaning:

• No third-party dependencies
• No external services
• No performance-heavy background jobs

Just clean logic and predictable results.

---

Reputation is calculated from multiple configurable sources, including:

• Message count
• Reactions received
• Registration age
• Trophy points
• Warnings (negative impact)
• Manual admin adjustments

Each source supports:

• Enable / disable toggles
• Point scaling and multipliers
• Optional caps to prevent abuse

This allows admins to fine-tune reputation so it reflects their community’s values.

---

Users are automatically placed into reputation tiers based on their total score.


Default tiers include:

• New
• Bronze
• Silver
• Gold
• Elite
• Legend
• Mythic

Tiers are:

• Calculated dynamically
• Displayed consistently across the forum
• Designed to encourage progression without punishing new users

Tier logic is centralized and future-proofed for customization and admin UI support.

---

Mitch Reputation includes a clean, modern leaderboard that highlights your most valuable members.

• Ranked by total reputation
• Pagination support for large communities
• Avatar display for better visual recognition
• Tier badges displayed alongside users
• Highlighting for the viewing user

Users can view:

• Top Bronze members
• Top Silver members
• Top Gold members
  …and so on

This keeps competition fair and meaningful at every level.

---

Reputation changes are tracked internally so the system is:

• Auditable
• Predictable
• Trustworthy

This ensures members understand that reputation is earned — not arbitrary.


(History data also enables future features like trend analysis and progression views.)

---

This addon follows XenForo best practices:

• Entity extensions instead of template hacks
• Schema-safe installs and upgrades
• Defensive checks to prevent partial-upgrade errors
• No core file edits
• No fragile template replacements

It plays nicely with XenForo and won’t fight other well-written addons.

---

• Uses cached reputation values on the user entity
• Leaderboards query indexed fields only
• Rebuild tools available for admins
• Designed to scale from small forums to large communities

---

Mitch Reputation is released completely free.


Not because it’s “basic” — but because it’s meant to:

• Build trust
• Raise the quality bar
• Prove that good XenForo addons don’t have to be overpriced or rushed

Future advanced addons may be premium, but this system will remain free and fully functional.

---

The architecture already supports future expansions such as:

• “Newest Climbers” leaderboards
• Time-based rankings (weekly / monthly)
• Tier perks and unlocks
• User-facing reputation breakdowns
• Admin UI for tier configuration
• Widgets and navigation integration
