 * How is vote weighting handled within this plugin? For example, if 1 person gives
   an idea 5 stars, but 30 people give another idea a 4.5, the idea with 1 person
   still remains at the top. I’m thinking this could be solved by having an option
   for a thumbs up/thumbs down voting method. Thoughts?

 * It’s an average vote. So if 1 person rates 5 stars and 30 persons rated 4 stars,
   the idea with only one vote will be at the top.
 * So it behaves as expected to me.
 * You can always deactivate the built in rating system from the plugin’s settings
   and use another plugin to match your need.
