Yes. Upvotes increment the meta key you picked as the vote column on the original feedback row. There is no parallel votes table, no external service, and any custom reports or exports you already run against the post or meta data pick up the new counts as soon as each vote is cast on the board.

Yes. The submit button opens the Ultimate Member form you choose, posts the new idea into the same source table the board reads, and shows it on the board with zero votes and the default status. Members never see a separate submission form or a parallel database to sign in to.

Boards respect the same Ultimate Member role and block list rules the rest of your site uses. Items from a blocked member do not appear for the blocking side, and the same role checks gate who can vote, comment, or submit a new idea about how the friending feature should behave.

Yes. Each board is its own SleekView render scoped to a chosen source, so you can run a dedicated friending board, a separate groups board, and a third for sitewide ideas. Vote counts and status badges are independent per board, so a vote on one does not affect the others.

Cards stay on the board because the data lives on the feedback row, not on the deleted user record. The author display name shifts to a generic deleted account label, the vote count is preserved, and the status stays whatever the admin team last set, so the public history of the request is not lost.

Yes. Any post taxonomy or meta key can drive the category tag on each card. Most teams use a small set like Feature request, Bug, UX, and Privacy, with one color per category, so members can scan the board and filter to the kind of work they are most interested in voting on.

Yes. SleekView ships with role-based permissions, so you can let logged in members vote, restrict submissions to verified accounts, or open both to everyone. Limits are checked on the server side so the rules cannot be bypassed by editing the page or replaying the request from a separate tab.

Yes. SleekView pages the board, only loads the cards on screen, and uses indexed columns for the vote and status filters. Communities with hundreds of thousands of member records stay responsive because the heavy fields are only fetched for the cards the visitor is actually looking at on the current page.
