Enabling a public comment of “yes/no” only

  I am working to promote civic virtue & civic education at my website, OnCivics.com. I want to make a page where people can see a proclamation and say, “Yes, I agree” – and tie in their social media account. Is this something I can already do in a plugin (that I just overlooked???)? Or should I hire somebody? Or learn CSS? (I used to run command-line linux/unix as an engineer, but just haven’t been programming for years) Or….???
  
  My assumptions: I am not asking the right question, and I don’t know whom to ask.

  But the concept is this: The page says, “I reject violence broadly, and only condone it in the instance cited in the Declaration of Independence – only after repeated attempts to address the situation have been tried and failed, and these attempts can be enumerated in a non-facetious discussion.”
  
  Basically, http://www.oncivics.com/proclamation1
  
  And everyone who agrees will just get listed. FB accounts, Google accounts, Twitter accounts – whatever the social login plugin will accommodate. But the comments are limited to only “Yes” (No is selectable and will be counted but not displayed)
  
  Whom should I ask this question to? What is the question I should ask them? Thank you, and my deepest apologies for asking such a noob-level question.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hey there,

  First of all, there’s no need to apologise!

  Currently, but http://www.oncivics.com is not hosted with WordPress.com, our advice and support is limited on how to approach an add-on to a such as this.

  To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.

  Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

  You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the business plan.

  As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

  The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
