John -- Thanks, I'd seen that thread so I wasn't entirely surprised to
get the mass of negative karma votes, but couldn't find the thread
again in a quick search yesterday. Strange to think anyone would
spend time/effort/money to do something silly like spam karma
ratings. . .
I don't know what all the potential solutions are on your end. Didn't
notice whether it was mentioned but possibly 'captcha' fields? I
would also put a vote in for requiring some comment from a user who
puts in a bad rating, explaining what they didn't like. Maybe just a
prominent message saying that if they're going to give a bad rating
they should let the plugin author know why. I know I've gotten a
couple bad ratings before and wondered what the complaint was and how
I could have fixed whatever caused them to dislike the plugin.
Regards,
Herb
