I just read most of this thread because I saw it as a MOTM candidate. This is 99% what I have been looking for a long time and perhaps with a little bit of convincing the remaining 1% can be added by the developer.
It reminds me of the points system reddit uses. What I am missing is:
1. What happens if a post receives a negative points count? 10 thumbs down for example. Will it show -10?
2. Can a threshold be configured if a post receives a certain negative count that it collapses or is greyed out or something to that effect? Example -3 thumbs = post collapsed and can now only be read by pressing small plus symbol to return to normal view. If it receives enough positive thumbs it will be returned to a regular looking post.
3. I noticed in the screenshots that you show the total of thumbs received as a sum of all thumbs but not as a calculated value of positive thumbs minus negative thumbs. Example: 30 ups and 10 downs. You show 40 total, while I would like to see a score of 20 for that user.
In any event I will test drive this and perhaps some of my concerns will be answered by itself that way.
Looks like an awesome addition.
