The ratings system seems to only exist to be abused. It should be eliminated.

Case in point, does it strike anyone else as odd that a non-item like this, with a downloads to views ratio like this, has 14 high starred ratings? Compare it to something that's been on site equally as long, has tons of positive comments, and a higher download to view ratio, and you'll be lucky to find something with three reviews.

It's an open secret that Ionisys was using 17 differant accounts at one point to leave positive feedback on his own work and negetive feedback on the work of others (he also had conversations with himself in the comments section about how great his products were). These comments were deleted along with the accounts when he was caught, but  I get the feeling he's doing the same thing now, he's just found a way to not get detected (maybe he didn't register all of the accounts to the same email address).
