"Kindness" plugin

Hey Invision, hope you're having a great December.

So, I had an idea. :cool:

One of my main missions this year was to elevate the culture in my forum and make it a kinder place. I feel like I have achieved success in that regard, however I still see comments that I find pretty questionable despite the warning points system, moderators, rules etc that are in place.

My idea is to develop a Kindness plugin.

There's a lot that can be done, and I'd love to hear your guys' feedback, but the first thing I'd like to have this plugin do is create essentially a little check box that the member must select that essentially says "This comment is kind" before they can successfully hit the reply button.

Yes, they could still write something negative or rude and check the box and post it, but I would like to see how that plays out. I do think psychologically it would be more difficult for people in general to say, "yes this is kind" when they know it isn't. 

I thought of starting with simply changing the language of "Submit Reply" to something else, but think that might be a little clunky. 

What do you guys think? I'm open to suggestions of course! Thanks =]

  • Therein lies your problem. 'you think it would enhance your forum' - have you asked your members what they think of this solution towards politeness?  After all, asking on here is one thing and you ha

I think the concept is moderately interesting but I certainly wouldn't want to "accept a terms of service" every time I submit something, at least not personally.

I saw that you have uploaded this plugin to the store. Question. If I previously downloaded a plugin from this theme for free, can I still use it?
