+ and - features for posts like WoWhead has
 

I've been searching and searching for a mod or some way to include the + and - rating feature for posts on my forum. For those familiar with WoWhead, every reply has a [+/-] box on it. You click, obviously + for the posts that are really helpful, - for the spamming trash. When a post gets enough + hits for it, the text turns green to highlight a really great reply. If it gets enough - hits, the post is soft deleted and eventually pruned after a certain amount of time.

I would LOVE this for my forum!! Would anyone know if this sort of mod exists?

Or perhaps if anyone could help me with how to find a mod like this? So far every search that uses the word "Wowhead" only returns the item link mods. And I've got no idea what the + and - for replies would be called. :confused:

vb has the Reputation system. It allows you to do something similar to what you want for a post, however the 'points' that you give to a post, actually go to the person who made the post. I would guess if there were a Mod for this, that it would use the reputation system that is already in place. So, you might try searching for "reputation". (I actually think I recall seeing something kinda like what you want. If I see it show up, I'll post here.)

We currently use the reputation system for our subscribed members. I might try having a look around for that.

What I'm after (exactly) is like what you can see on this page: http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=7631#comments:id=23407

You can see the green text, and things like Rating: +30 beside some of the posts. Doesn't show a deleted one, but when you get enough negative hits, it basically soft deletes the reply.

I like that. I would use something if it was just + and - for a post.

Thought I should update this thread in case anyone else might be following it. Thanks to putting me onto the searching for "reputation" I came across this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173432

Not 100% sure it's what I'm after, but it looks close. It doesn't do the green text though, but I'm more after the post rating at the moment.

That brings on another question - if I could figure out a way to automatically change the colour of text of posts with a mod, how do I stop everyone from just posting their posts in green? Is there a way to disable the ability to use colours (or even better, a specific colour) in a post when making it?

Thankyou Neverstop - I'll have a look through that one!
