Hi Everyone!

I am looking at starting up a forum and am currently trying to figure out which forum is suitable for me. Apologies in advance if it's a lengthy post but any help is much appreciated.

I am looking for a forum that has/does/can do:

    - Polls/Voting features for members to be able to vote on certain topics and questions
    - User Profiles that are customizable
    - Subscription feature that gives me the ability to make certain sections of the forum subscription   based only.
    - Reputation system for users that is based on posts/thumbs up/contribution. This will also be good if I can customize it to give users badges/stars/or any custom icon
    - Option to react (Like facebook and whatsapp) or thumbs up other users' posts
    - Spam protection to avoid bots/external users from signing up and spamming the forum or posting inappropriate content
    - A donate option for users who wish to donate and contribute to the forum (Not sure if it's classified as the same as the subscription feature). This is more for users to donate any amount of their choosing towards the forum if they would like to support
    - Be able to make users of my choosing moderators or super moderators with custom permissions in order to help manage the forum

 
Questions:

• Is it possible to make a certain section of the forum follow a template (made by me) for users to fill out and submit? Once they do, a post will be made with their answers against the template and then users can respond to it. This will be used for feedback purposes. I would like my users to be able to give and share their feedback via this template.

• This is something that I may consider eventually - not at the beginning: Is it possible to set up a shop via a different page on the forum to sell merchandise?

• Say I have a special section in the forum that contains a lot of topics. Am I able to make it so that certain users or ranks can only view 2-3(or any number) of these topics once every 3(or any number here) days? Is this customizable?

• Does wpForo have any 3rd party plugins/addons in addition to the ones from gVectors?

Thanks a lot!
