Delete Thread Ratings

[trigatch4]

Spam bots sign up to my forums and automatically rate their threads a 5 so that people are more likely to click them. One got through and posted in virtually every thread in my forum and rated it a 5 and now my forum design is clogged up with all these stars.

How can I delete or clear thread ratings?

u could try this one:

Who Rated This Thread / Delete Who Rated (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=133067&page=2)

double edged sword

*sigh*

PERFECT hack for me richTV... you're kind to have been answering all my problems today. This is exactly what I spent 45 minutes searching for.

Unfortunately, it was for 3.6.4 and the author took it down to make it a PAID mod only and his site doesn't load.

I saw you posted a solution for 3.6.8 but I'm running 3.7.3... thoughts on this?

[richTV]

to be honest, i don't know at the moment.

we just upgraded to 3.7.3 from 3.7.1 and i have not yet tried.

we were using it in 3.7.1

i'll try it out in a couple days but right now we are still taking care of the important stuff there.

cheers.

I was afraid of that... any idea where I could find them if I delve into phpMyAdmin?

You could just try removing the rating from being displayed in threadbit template.

AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Edit Templates > Threadbit Templates > threadbit

Have a search around for "rating" and see what happens if you try and delete it. Make sure you keep a backup of the old or do it on a test site.
