[$600] New feature for up / down votes on posts

[jmgasper]

@atelomycterus - Topcoder used to have up / down voting on comments, in the old forums. They'd like to have the same functionality in this new forum, where members / copilots / admins can up / down vote a comment.

The goal is to determine which comments and discussions are highly up voted, and also highly downvoted.

What we'll need:

1. Up / down functionality added to the Topcoder plugin and displayed on discussions
2. A new piece in the admin dashboard to view discussions / comments by votes

A single user should only be able to up vote or down vote a comment. If they have already made a choice and click it again (like "up vote"), then their initial vote should be cancelled.

This should get us started. Let me know if you have any questions on specifics on how this should work.

Relevant UI:

@jmgasper The main requirements are clear. Thanks!

[atelomycterus]

@jmgasper I am working on #475 as discussed via email. Let me know if the priorities of the tasks have changed.

[jmgasper]

@atelomycterus - The priority is #558 and then this one, thanks! I've reached out to Topcoder to make sure they're done making changes to the MarvelApp before we move on the ones you logged, thanks.

[atelomycterus]

@jmgasper Ok. Thanks!

[atelomycterus]

@jmgasper Could you ask a designer to export icons (https://marvelapp.com/prototype/c06bg41/screen/77911792)?

Thanks!

[atelomycterus]

@jmgasper The current status

Up / down functionality added to the Topcoder plugin and displayed on discussions

Need to fix the icons only.

A new piece in the admin dashboard to view discussions / comments by vote

I'm going to implement it tomorrow and push it in the repo.

[jmgasper]

@atelomycterus - Sounds good, thanks. I've asked our designer to provide the icons.
