Would it be possible to store voting data in a json file somewhere. I am new to discourse and I want to add voting to specific contest where users can vote on as many topics, but just once in that specific contest. I am trying to avoid fussing with the db.

Have you looked at Discourse Voting

Yes, I have I was hoping I would be able to leverage it for challenges, but I am afraid it’s very closely tied to the topic object. Whereas my system will turn on an image that’s already within a post. Technically, it should be possible to store voting data in a JSON file somewhere, no? Since discourse is essentially all JSON.
Sorry if I’m still missing your point, but have you looked at How to Create Polls.
I don’t understand just what kind of voting you’re trying to do. If you want to create a plugin then you can create a custom field with type json and stick whatever you want in it and add it to the serializer to be able to display it.
