Requires manually editing your forum's custom theme template files to insert a ratings display snippet where you want ratings to appear.

in plain english

This plugin lets people rate topics on a NodeBB forum, adding a simple way for the community to show what they think of a discussion. If you run a forum and want a lightweight feedback system, this adds that capability. The README is sparse on details, but it tells you to import a ratings display snippet into your forum's theme files to make it appear on topic, category, and recent pages. Forum administrators who use NodeBB would install this to give members a voice beyond replies. For example, someone could rate a how-to guide as helpful or mark a product announcement as worth reading. The notable detail here is that it requires editing your custom theme rather than working automatically after installation. You need to place a specific line of code into your theme template where you want ratings to show up, which gives you control over placement but assumes some comfort working with theme files.
