I usually have my ratings off whenever I post anything here. One, it really doesn't work as it was originally intended and two, I have seen it abused time and time again. Yesterday, after a long break, I posted a render and forgot to turn it off. Seconds later, the comments came and I saw someone left me a rating. What I found amusing though is, the person left me a 1 rating yet nothing in the comments shows anything other than the usual "fantastic", "great render"..etc.  Ratings don't mean much to me personally, and it is kinda sad to hear that some people do it to stay on top of the arts charts.
