when they are only in channel(s) with very low member counts. This because some typical bot/drone behavior is not to join any channels. This kinda forces them to expose themselves a bit more (and if they don't, they don't get more reputation). The downside is for the unusual case where a legit chatter would be on the network but not joining any channels, but that is rare. In any case, this setting can be adjusted if that is typical or more normal behavior on your network :D. * The [reputation score](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Reputation_score) of connected users (actually IP's) is increased every 5 minutes. We still do this, but only for users who are at least in one channel that has 3 or more members. This setting is tweakable via [set::reputation::score-bump-timer-minimum-channel-members](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Set_block#set::reputation). Setting this to 0 means to bump scores also for people who are in no channels at all, which was the behavior in previous UnrealIRCd versions.
