Now that I'm using the discussion boards more than I used to, I'm noticing some things that I find odd.

When I post a reply it has a rating of 0. But then soon after this post gets rated -2.

There are even entire threads that have a negative rating. This one for example has a total rating of -8. 

What does that mean and why is it negative?

A long time ago I think we found out that the ratings are being hit by robots.

I had planned on changing them into <form method="post">, something that robots would not follow, but I have yet to get around to modifying the templates.

So it is actually a bug?

Presumably bots all hit the site as visitor, can we make ratings only available to Registered Users? Otherwise how many times can 'visitor' users rate things?
