If you're actually tracking what IP address rate a given thing, then it would take you a couple of minutes to find out exactly what IP address(es) is/are doing this for large numbers of items - and if you're not tracking this by IP address you obviously want it to be abused.  Let's have some response about this please.  If you're not interested in fixing this problem then I'm not interested in giving you my content.

Okay, this doesn't seem to be an issue you care to do anything about, so I guess I'll remove my stuff.  One less place to list my freebies I guess.  If you ever start giving a [censored] about this problem in the future maybe I'll come back, thanks.

Hi All ..  This is far from being an issue that we don't care about.  We do care.  We just have limited resources, and we're making lots of site updates in our 'spare' time.

In a day our so you'll be able to see how many people rate each object, which will give you a better idea of the value of the rating. 

Also, David Hanna's suggestion that we only let people who comment, rate is a good one and I'm trying to get some Engineering time allocated to this issue.  I've put it into the Engineering task schedule and hope it comes out soon.  As soon as it does you'll see it, and I'll let everyone know here on the forum.
