How to prevent users from rating their own files

Hi everyone,

I tweaked the template a bit so it prevents uploaders from rating their own files. I don't know about you, but on my forum people often immediately give their files "A+" after uploading. This will prevent that.

To add this feature:

1) Go to your AdminCP and edit the template named "downloads_file"

2) Find $userscore in that template.

3) Replace it with these lines:

<!-- Uploader Check -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[username] == $file['uploader']">
You cannot rate your own file. 
<else />
$userscore
</if>
<!-- End Uploader Check -->

Hope you find this useful.

PS: Jelle, feel free to incorporate this into the product if you like it.
