[Feature] Community Forum with Discussion Board and Upvoting/Downvoting

[sezallagwal]

Description

I want to implement a Community Forum section on the website where users can ask questions, participate in discussions, and share knowledge about Google technologies and GDG activities. The forum should also include an upvoting/downvoting system to help filter the most useful and relevant content.

Requirements

1. Forum Structure

• Discussion Categories:

  • Create categories for discussions (e.g., Web Development, AI/ML, Hackathons, GDG Announcements, General Discussion, etc.).
  • Users should be able to select a category when posting a new discussion.

• Discussion Threads:

  • Allow users to start new threads with titles and detailed descriptions.
  • Each thread should have an option for users to reply and engage in conversations.

2. Upvoting/Downvoting System

• Post Voting:
  • Add an upvote/downvote feature on each post within the discussion threads.
  • Display the total number of votes (upvotes minus downvotes) next to each post.
