Yes I stopped posting here too.  The comment club was just too annoying for me.  That stuff with the ratings, I would report it and let them sort out whether or not it was intentional on the other side.  If nothing else maybe a mod can mention something to the person.

On the flip side maybe it was a sincere rating? 
With only 5 stars it is hard.  For instance I imagine 5 stars being something similar to the great published artists.  1 being not very good at all.  But for average joe - 3 stars may very well mean "Great Job".
