Is it possible to hide the negative reputation option ?

A client doesn't want to allow negative rep to be given.. We've looked at the mods at vb.org and didn't see one ?? Hoping you guys could bail us out

Usergroup Manager >>> Select UG >>> User Reputation Permissions >>> Can Leave Negative Reputation (NO)

Quote:

This permission allows users to leave negative reputation. Negative reputation only has half the effect of positive reputation. For example, if a user has a reputation power of 20, they would only take 10 away by giving negative reputation. This permission requires that reputation be enabled in the vBulletin Options as well as the user having the "Can Use Reputation" permission enabled.

I know it's a client Brandon but I had a similar debate with my moderators when I first enabled the rep system. Previously we had just the thanks system which ties into the rep system and is only positive.

A few of the mods wanted only positive rep, but I said what's the point of having a rep system if you can only give positive rep? You need the negative to balance it out.

but I agree, whats the point..lol

I don't allow Negative Rep.

If you like a post, reward it. If you don't leave it be. Allowing Negative Rep can give users a chance for a behind the scenes flaming, etc...

I am not saying using it is bad, but I think there is very good reason for not allowing Negative Reputation.
