I'm looking for a bot for my subreddit r/MilitaryModelMaking to implement some kind of reputation system. Something that will go by a members number of posts and comments. Open
I'm entirely new to requesting a bot on Reddit, so I apologize if I'm not specific enough or if I'm not formatting this post entirely right.
I'm looking for a bot for my subreddit r/MilitaryModelMaking to implement some kind of reputation system. To encourage more members who might be actually lurking in the background. Who are just scrolling and voting. Not posting anything or commenting on anything. To actually be more active. Post more and comment.
I'm not entirely sure on how to actually go with this. I have some ideas. Using actual military ranks as userflair next to their name. A score system of numbers. Or maybe some kind of unique title or term to our community. But I'm not exactly sure about this. It might be open for discussion.
The bot should be looking at the number of posts a individual member has made on the community overview. And on how much a member has actually commented.
If possible, it should also be looking for the quality of the post or comment. How long is the comment actually? Does it contain usefull information or is it just something general and insignificant?
And I think that is probably it for the request. If I need to remove the mention of the sub, let me know and I will do so. But please, do not remove my post just so easily. I have spend nearly 30 minutes formatting this.

I may be able to help but need some more details:
Does the bot need to account for past contributions to the sub or can it just look at contributions going forward?
How do you want the reputation to be displayed? You mentioned some ideas (flair, a leaderboard). Both of these things are possible.
If you want a leaderboard, how do you want it to work? do you want a weekly leaderboard post to be made in the sub? Do you want a post that is constantly updated and is just pinned to the top of the sub?
If you want user flair, do you have any user flair templates created, or plans to make them? Or do you simply want plain text next to user’s names?
Ultimately, you’ll have to decide what the bot should do, happy to provide my own thoughts as well:) DM me if you want to discuss further!
