It makes a lot of sense to allow users to rate their own posts in certain situations.
Example: People add products, services, restaurants, etc., to a thread, and all(!) users can rate these "items" through reactions on the posts.
Example: When should we have the next party?
- Post 1: Next Monday
- Post 2: Monday in two weeks
- Post 3: Sunday
Example: Example: What is the best {whatever}?
There are many things for which a poll is not the best solution. And Xenforo is capable of so much more than just being a conversation stack for notes. You just need to open your mind, and you can discover the most wonderful things you can do with this software.
I have also created this addon; you can find it here:
