Finding help aint easy.

Hi.
I found phpbb3 by sifting thru phpbb.
Several months ago I had posted on Area51, a request to hire some help but was told I can't solicit there. When I stumbled across this place, I noticed a quip about hiring per hour but I had to register first in order to PM (I believe it was Stoker). Now that I'm here, I still can't seem to PM stoker so I'm posting this in the introduction. If I'm out of line, I apologize. Obviously, I really don't know much about forum finesse and I surely don't want to offend another phpbb board so I hope this is acceptable.
A friend of mine helped me create a phpbb forum. It's about ready to launch but with one snag which he can't conquer. That means I don't stand a chance in figuring it out which is why I'd like to hire someone well-versed in phpbb.
I need the Karma rating plugin (or whatever rating plugin would be best) modified. I may as well post now, what it is I'm looking for. If anyone can help, please PM me. Thanks. Lee
Here’s what I’m looking for:
1) rating feature shows up ONLY in 1 section of forum.
2) rates ONLY the responses—NOT the question.
3) ONLY admin posts questions. In other words, it can’t be a “post a
new topic” option. The end result needs to be where ONLY admin posts the
question; the responses get rated, the top rated responses automatically keep
flowing to the top WITHIN each specific query.
4) rating system of a 1 thru 5 (not likes or thumbs etc...) with #1 being the best solution
and so on down. I see where some rating plugins use a % basis.
This could be used to auto-track where each solution lands within
each query. For instance, 25 solutions with the top rated one holding
top spot on down.
5) users can choose to either: 1) have their post rated or simply rate
other posts, up to a total of 5.
6) users must be able to adapt their solutions to the feedback being
offered. Possibly an icon indicating solution has been modified?
7) users must be able to readjust how they rate solutions. Possibly the %,
the individual users chosen rating preference, and the overall rating of each solution,
which could all be consolidated and easily seen, located in the top right corner within each solution?
This way, users could keep track of their preferences and readjust them more easily.
I don't know if this is something that can even be done.
I would appreciate any guidance offered.
Thank you.
