bbPress Thanks is a WordPress plugin that works with bbPress forums. It places a text area field in the forms used to create a new topic or reply or edit an existing one. Content entered here is hidden from users and only visible when they thank the content, click a Thanks button.
The user who authored the content and moderators can always see the content.
Flow
Basically, the flow is as follows:
- A user enters hidden content using the topic or reply forms
- Another user sees the topic or reply. Content is not directly shown in the topic or reply, but instead, a message stating that there’s hidden content plus a Thanks button is shown.
- User clicks the Thanks button
- Content is revealed for this user
- User is added to the list of thanking users
See the screenshots for more details.
