Reputation ranks and leaderboard

Tip: change one option at a time and verify the result in the group so false positives are easy to spot.

In short

Ranks turn numeric reputation into understandable levels. The leaderboard shows members ordered by score.

How it works

A member's current score is compared with every configured rank range.
The matching name and emoji are used in reputation messages and displays.
The leaderboard orders known members by score; it does not edit their reputation.

Set it up step by step

Open Defendy in Telegram and choose the group you want to configure.
Compare the current values with the defaults explained below.
Change one option at a time; use the least disruptive value that meets your goal.
Check the result in the group after saving.

Every setting explained

Rank name

Default: Built-in names.

Human-readable rank label shown in reputation views.

Rank emoji

Default: Built-in emoji.

Short visual marker for the rank.

Minimum score

Default: Depends on rank.

Lowest reputation value included in the rank.

Maximum score

Default: Depends on rank.

Highest reputation value included in the rank. Empty means no upper limit.

Leaderboard

Default: Read-only.

Shows current members ordered by reputation.

Practical example

Use continuous ranges: Newcomer 0–9, Contributor 10–49 and Expert from 50 upward. Check boundary scores 9, 10, 49 and 50 so no member falls into a gap.

Recommendations

Keep rank ranges continuous to avoid confusing gaps.
Use neutral rank names in professional communities.

Troubleshooting

Check that Defendy is still an administrator in the group.
Refresh the settings panel and make sure you are editing the correct group.
If a setting is saved but does not work, check the bot permissions in Telegram.
If you are not sure what happened, open the moderation log.
