    Hey,
    I was wondering if we could get the add-on Post Ratings?

    Pros
    • Increases daily posts (read on for proof)
    • Improves signal to noise ratio; less short/unnecessary posts
    • Improves quality of posts (posters want to avoid negative ratings)
    • Makes lurkers useful for something and gives them a means of interaction
    Like Alerts and similar features, I have found this addon to be a major source of the 'XenForo effect' - people just can't stop using it.

    Hover over anywhere on a post and the ratings bar will subtly fade into view (always visible on mobile devices) helping to reduce UI clutter:

    I've been considering this add on also. However, I do feel that this can be abused if not done properly.

    This is a must-have.

    That is why you can disable some ratings. In my opinion this combination is best: like, agree, funny, winner, informative, friendly, optimistic, creative.
    ^ See, instead of doing "^" I could just do the "Agree" rating.

    I will give this a bump to see what the new people on these forums think of this. I do know this will probably have to wait until we have some extra money..

    At this point, it is an expenditure that we don't see is worth it at this time. We will revisit sometime down the road.
