Someone went through one of my categories and gave every thread a five star rating. The star rating was actually being used to separate out the exceptional threads but it's kind of meaningless now. I think I may just end up disabling the star ratings which is a shame because it provided a helpful feature for this particular category.
Has anyone else run into this issue or have thoughts on a solution or alternative?
Thanks!
Rating vandalism, you said that very well
Maybe you should disable it for some time, i am not sure why someone would do that.
Maybe rate limit rating? (Pun intended) So someone can't do this in the future.
But at the very least, this should repair the damage done by this user. Just run this MySQL Statement, replacing
X with the user ID of the user who vandalized the ratings.
DELETE FROM mybb_threadratings WHERE uid = X

Trolls man, trolls.
Thank you for the code snippet kind sir.
Btw, imho rating stars shouldnt be 'clickable' on threads list.
How one may rate thread by its title without even reading it ?
