Vote Weights

note

This is a premium feature!

info

Users still need the vote role to vote for a submission.

Vote Weights are additional roles that Submitty takes into account when calculating up/down votes.

Vote Weights allow you to give certain roles more "power". Let's say you have some premium categories: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Now you want to give them more weight when upvoting or downvoting a submission.

You could configure:

  • Each vote from a user with the role Bronze counts as 2.
  • Silver as 3.
  • And Gold as 5.
note

If a user has multiple roles, only the one with the highest weight is considered.

If a user with Silver upvotes a submission, the upvote count increases by 3 instead of 1.

If a role doesn't have a weight, it defaults to 1.
