User-driven Reddit-like CMS or theme?

I'm looking for a Wordpress plugin or CMS that does the following:

- Allows guests and registered users to submit a link, image for the link, and link title to the site (similar to what Reddit allows you to do)
- Links submitted to the site should show up automatically on the website as "Pending" or some other category. Submissions will appear in a grid format with the link images showing up, the link titles at the bottom of each image, and the entire image linking to its destination.
- Registered users on the site can upvote or "approve" pending submissions to be shown on the front page of the site. The amount of approval votes needed can be adjusted.

I want to make this as simple, flexible, and easy as possible, while being as informative as possible. Would be cool to have a site that allows links to be submitted and then turns the links into something cool on the front page.

 

I don't think you're going to find anything like that. Gravity Forms is a plugin that will allow users to submit content, but upvotes and whatnot are not easily implemented. You'd need to custom code for different types of post formats probably and you might be able to use WP-PostRatings for the up/downvote, but it's not going to be a slick as Reddit. You might as well just create a subreddit (why would people use your site instead?).

 

PliggCMS comes close to what I'm looking for.

Take a look at Drupal. You can use the Rate module along with Views to achieve what you want. You will need to install the Link field type module and also the Link Checker module to keep track of any links that go dead.

 

Try Pligg. It's not that challenging to install on a subdomain on your server. Some of their plug-ins may cost possibly a fee but it's worth it.
