The ratings box I was referring too was the one on the upload form you get to upload your image - "Allow Ratings".  I was unchecking this box because this was happening to me fairly regularly in the past. But I haven't uploaded images in a while so I was forgetting to uncheck the "Allow Ratings" box when uploading my last few images.

It's really no big deal either way but it's just annoying to me that some people are doing this and I've heard others complain about it in the past. So I though I'd finally say something about it to see what others thought about it.

I suppose it would have been too much to hope for that the people who are doing this would enter the discussion to explain why they are so compelled to do so.
