Reputation Rewards 1.0.0

ReputationRewards is built to encourage positive community behaviors by adding an in-game reputation system to your Rust server with a clean 3-column UI, built-in reward shop, and rank progression.

Players can reward each other for being Helpful, Friendly, or Skilled, earning spendable reputation points that can be redeemed instantly for configured items. As players gain reputation, they climb ranks and can trigger configurable server commands on rank-up for additional rewards or other triggers  (kits, mail, permissions, VIP perks, etc.).

Key features

In-game UI

• One command opens a polished reputation interface.
• Three-column layout:
  • Your Reputation (rep totals, rank, progress bar, spendable points)
  • Players List (searchable, sorted by total rep)
  • Built in Rewards Shop

Three reputation categories

• Helpful
• Friendly
• Skilled
• These can easily be renamed to something else via the Lang files.

Anti-abuse limits (configurable)

• Per-target cooldown:
  • limit how often someone can rep the same player.
• Total giving limit per window:
  • cap how many reps a player can give during a configurable time window (default 24h).

Spendable reputation points

• Configurable points awarded to:
  • The target (for receiving rep)
  • The giver (for giving rep)
• Points are spent in the built in reward shop.

Built-in reward shop

• Configure any Rust item shortname + amount + optional skin + optional custom display name.
• Players select quantity and see the total cost before purchase.

Rank system with automatic rewards

• Define unlimited ranks with a required total reputation threshold.
• Run server commands on rank-up (supports placeholders like %steamid%).
• Compatible with all plugins that can trigger a console command against a player, such as my Mail System

Visual feedback

• FX plays when rep is received.
• FX plays on rank-up to make progression feel rewarding.
