Add-on Readability Score

[KC Riley]

I saw a Wordpress plugin that scores posts on their readability to help with SEO. It scores giant blobs of text, bad gammar, spelling, ect..and rate the post so the members can see they need add space between paragraphs, ect...

With Google taking a harder stance on readability, does anyone see any value in a readability scoring add-on for forum posts?

Also the Wordpress Yoast SEO plugin includes something like this.

I think it's a good idea for xenforo as long as users don't get put off by it.

You don't want to get too obessed about it. Even if the add-on cleaned up posts with poor punctuation and gaint blobs of text everywhere.
