The Problem:
The new reputation system proves to be one of the more controversial new features of vB 3.0. Some members like it, others hate it.
To solve the dilemma, I decided to completely disable negative reputations. Now a member can still credit another member for a good post; however, he won't be able to discredit anyone anymore.
What the hack does:
Beside the required template change, the hack makes sure that even a malicious user cannot "give" negative reputation to other members anymore. Without the hack, the user could write his own html code to post the $reputation=neg variable to the vB system.
