vBulletin 5 Request - Thread Rating System instead of the "Like" system

[fenderbob]

I would much prefer a thread rating system based on 1 through 5 stars instead of the "Like" system.

Even Facebook recognized that people should be allowed to "dislike" things if they want. For busy forums, this feature will help people to sort good threads from bad ones, particularly if it shows how many people voted. What would you think if you saw a thread that had 50 votes for all 5 stars vs. a thread that had 50 people vote and the thread had all one stars?

This is also a good way to find troublemakers or spammers.

I'll attach a screenshot of what I'm looking for:



Please message me if you would be interested in working on something like this.

I'm extremely concerned about the mod affecting the security of my site. I definitely would need the ability to continue to download and install future upgrades for the vB5 software.

I'm making this post in the "unpaid" section but I would definitely be willing to pay someone for this. Ideally, you'd develop the mod as a finished product and I'd simply buy a license, but if you feel this is too much work and you don't expect many people would buy this mod, perhaps we could come up with a contract.

We'd need to figure out time and cost and payment arrangements, and there would also need to be a stipulation stating that the code would continue to work (or would be upgraded) to always work with future vBulletin 5 updates.
