Reputation
LiveReaction voting
Configure reputation from Telegram reactions: enablement, emoji set, threshold and notification interactions.
Updated
Reactions can add positive reputation to the message author. This screen does not turn negative reactions into downvotes.
All settings
| Setting | Default | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Reaction voting | Off | Master switch on the Reputation page. Selected emoji and threshold remain saved while off, but no reaction votes are awarded. |
| Upvote reactions | 👍 ❤️ 🔥 ⭐ 🏆 🎉 💯 😍 🤩 | Any selected reaction contributes toward the threshold. The editor offers the common Telegram reaction set. Selecting none effectively prevents awards. |
| Reaction threshold | 1 | Number of selected reactions required on one message for +1: 1, 2, 3, 5 or 10. |
| Upvote notification | On | Set under Notifications; controls whether the award produces a chat message. |
| Mark source message | Off, 👌 | Optional Defendy reaction on the voter's source message; it is not itself a threshold vote. |
| Mark target message | Off, 🏆 | Optional Defendy reaction on the message that received reputation. |
Configure it
- Enable the reputation system.
- Enable Reaction voting on the main Reputation page.
- Open Reactions and choose emoji that unambiguously mean approval in your community.
- Choose a threshold. In active chats, start with 2 or 3 so one accidental reaction does not award a point.
- Under Bot response, choose a message, a reaction or no response. Configure the options for that one response mode.
Important behavior
- The threshold uses the combined count of selected positive reactions on one message and can trigger repeatedly. With a threshold of 3, the 3rd, 6th and 9th counted reactions each request +1; voting limits can still reject an award.
- Removing a reaction reduces the reaction counter but does not reverse reputation already awarded.
- Anonymous reactions are ignored, as are reactions to messages whose author is not yet known to Defendy.
- Changing the set does not recalculate history.
- Do not select ambiguous or negative emoji: every selected reaction is treated only as a positive vote.
- If no reputation is awarded, check the reputation master switch, Reaction voting, selected set and threshold.
Bot response mode
Under Bot response, choose message, reaction or no response. Selecting a mode changes the related settings; a message and a marker reaction are not independent response switches that can both remain enabled. A bot response reaction is also separate from members voting through reactions. Leaderboard-overtake notifications have their own switch; choosing no ordinary response does not turn them off.
