Tagging Modlook, just means you get a now slightly grumpy moderator to stare at a thread for 5 minutes wondering why they were summoned.

It should be added when in your opinion a forum moderator needs to take action on a post or thread. This would be when private information such as email addresses, phone numbers, login information or other personal information has been posted. A moderator can then edit the post to remove that information.

Using this tag to try and get quicker help will not work.

If it happens again, try to note down what has changed recently and then drop a note on the plugins support forum

This question is a bit to open and vague, for anyone to answer really, the vague answer is you will need a combination of a theme and a few plugins to do what you want, probably the best place to start is a google for How to be build a comparison site in WordPress.
