@Allen – Hi! Oh okay, I get it now. Yeah, that’s true and that’s why I’m hoping that the author of Post-Ratings would add an option to enable rating moderation so users can check first before the rating gets posted.

Thanks for replying and happy blogging! :D

Hi Jaypee, as a reply to your reply, it's because as you said, somebody has been rating your posts with malicious intent. It's a criteria where the results can be manipulated by somebody unlike pageviews and comments. ^_^Allen's last blog post..My apologies on the advertisements shown

@Dre – I wish I knew but I don’t. Hehe Like I said in an earlier comment, I don’t see any reason why that person would be jealous of me. :P

Btw, thanks for being one of the few regular readers who use the post ratings plugin. ;)

Is someone secretly jealous of you? :lol: Maybe that anonymous person is just a joyclicker. I think this is useful. So continue using it ;)Dre's last blog post..School’s Almost Out

@dimaks – Maybe you can try it in your new blog when it goes online? ;)

Yeah, it can be used for spamming so I do hope that the plugin author would include an option where the rating can be moderated before it gets published or displayed.

@bluep – Yeah, so far that’s what’s keeping me from removing this plugin. That’s true and I hope that if I end up keeping the Post Ratings that you guys would use it and rate future posts.

Bout the anonymous guy, I did ban his IP address. I don’t know what the person’s intentions were in doing that but I don’t see any reason why that person should be jealous of me.

Have a nice day and happy blogging! :D

Keep it Jaypee. it’s also very handy for readers in browsing the most interested topic on your blog. Plus even if the anonymous guy rates your blog with one star, other readers will negate the rating he made Ban the man (hehe) Someone is indeed jealous of your achievements o sadyang wla lang magawa.

Have a nice week ahead of you.

@Allen – What exactly do you mean by “not a good factor”? Its true that post pageviews and hits are good indicators of a post’s quality but IMO, a plugin like Post Ratings provides optional/additional information for the blog author and readers that the pageviews and hits can’t provide.

I’d suggest that you remove it. It’s not really a good factor. What’s better in my opinion is the pageviews and the visitors visiting that post.
