 * Sure, I would like to see most, if not all themes and plugins voted 5/5.
 * Those votes/ratings of 5/5 or what ever, should by the actual End User… Not by
   the Author, as in this case.
 * I saw this new theme in the listing. Saw that it had already gained a 5/5 rating.
   So, with that took a good look at this theme. Only to find that the 5/5 rating
   was put there by the Author – not an end user.
 * For that, the theme gets 1 (one) star.
 * There needs to be a rule that prevents Authors voting/rating their own works.
   It must/should be down to the End User to rate and vote.

 * Hello Rob,
    **Thank you** so much for writing on the Reviews. I’m sorry to hear
   you get confused by looking at the rating, believe me I also had this situation.
   Now what I do is looking at the rating score and by no of person voted and I 
   get good result with that. Coming to your rating score, I guess it was from your
   anger, anyway can u please let me know what u expected by looking at the screenshot
   and what you disliked. I really **Thank You** to be my 1st critics

 * So you didn’t try the theme? You just gave it one star to knock it down?
