Okay, first and foremost, thank you to all of those who have heeded our request for spoiler warnings in summaries. Even titles of upcoming episodes can spoil others who have stayed away from any information about what is coming up next. We only have one more month to go so please be mindful of not spoiling other people's fun.

Second of all, I am sorry to say we have now disabled anonymous star ratings. I had pushed strongly to have that feature, but of late, we have had a few people emailing to complain about the ratings they've gotten. We looked into it and discovered that some people would rate the same chapter or a one-chapter story multiple times because they didn't agree with the overall rating. It was even sometimes authors giving themselves multiple ratings to bump up their number of stars. This kind of behaviour really defies the whole purpose. It is a shame for people who actually use the star ratings appropriately, but unfortunately, it looks like making people accountable for their reviews and/or ratings is the only way to minimize ratings abuse.

However, just to be clear, readers are allowed and even encouraged to rate different chapters of the same story with whatever rating they feel is appropriate. The problem only arose when the same reader was reviewing the same material (be it a chapter or a one-shot story) multiple times. The only thing is that readers will now need to leave a review, no matter how brief, to go along with their rating.
