What the guide covers

DLE Reputation PRO adds user reputation to DataLife Engine 15.1 – 21.0: karma, ranks and an author leaderboard. Every user earns karma from the ratings of their posts and comments, climbs through the ranks, and the best authors of the week and month make it onto the podium. Ranks grant permissions — from "may give minuses" to moving into a DLE group that publishes without moderation.
