I agree with this point. I've had several complaints about threadstarters who vote themselves 5 stars everytime they start a thread. I've now added a text message under the Vote Now button - "Rating your own thread or article is not allowed." I can't find a setting to prevent threadstarters from voting their own thread. Is there a hack for this somewhere? I've searched, but have been unable to find anything.

Update: I've found the hack I was looking for here. It may be possible to make it conditional on usergroup too with some extra coding.
