User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin's adaptability with platforms like Buddyboss and BBPress, along with responsive support from the developer who rapidly adds new features based on user feedback. The plugin enables creating Reddit-style forums, hiding voting in specific forums, and displaying voter avatars. However, users experience issues such as the inability to customize placement of voting elements and problems with double vote prevention when used alongside myCRED. Despite these drawbacks, the simplicity and utility of the plugin in enhancing forum functionality make it a valuable tool.

And finally, it happened! The author has been quite responsive so far and is consistently adding new features thus gradually closing the gap between other platforms like Reddit and Stackoverflow. I’m quite confident the developer will keep adding new features over the years based on the progress made in the past.

Plugin author has been very responsive and helpful. This plugin is very useful to our organization. I like the ability to hide voting on certain forums and the ability now to show who voted (via list of avatars under post).

Although I wish it had some options for placement. Not sure I like it above the author avatar.
