Based on the image #2, I think you already have those fields.

I think you can use MyBB rating system for this.

If you only want to hide the button for other user, you can use Template Conditional for this. But if you want it as a reply permission (only Admin and the thread owner can reply to a thread), I think you need a plugin for this.

I think the easiest way is use postbit_classic template (based on image #1).

Edit the forum where you want this system will be applied. Set the Template Prefix (under XThreads Options in Edit Forum page) for the forum.
Example:

Code:

xtfotm_

---

You can set the Show first post on every showthread page setting to Yes if you want the first post will be displayed in each page (if later there is a multi page in the thread).

Then create new template in Global Templates. Name it as xtfotm_postbit_first_classic. Copy paste the entire postbit_classic template code to the new template. Then, edit it (the new template). Create the block you wanted as image #1 first. Later, we will put the XThreads variables in the template, and set some "miscellaneous" settings.
