I didn't follow this thread to closely but IIRC some of those ratings could stem from clicks on search pages. For the period of time, GET was used (see another posting in this thread), some links in google results pointed to a link that would send a rating but not to the actual plugin page. A user most probably didn't even notice the difference -- I thus wouldn't necessarily assume abuse.If throwing out old votes seems too drastic, maybe the votes
could be displayed according to their age, with totals computed
over the past 6 months, 1 year, or the entire history.
I wouldn't consider removing old ratings (or yearly cutting them down to 50%) a problem. It would rather help to weed out outdated scripts.
Regards,
Tom
