Block a user from posting reviews on your files

This would also solve the constant messages sent between moderators and members trying to save their submissions from bad reviews. It'd save quite a bit of time, too.

Majatek has writtenIt was only a suggestion sheesh ^_~
A pretty selfish suggestion.
What? Is asking for constructive criticism bad? Is that being selfish? Well holy balls, looks like I'm talking to yet again, the wrong person.
Everyone gets bad ratings. And if they think your file isn't that great, they will rate it not 5/5. And everyone lives with it. Now you're coming and you want to change it? Constructive criticism is also a relative thing, since everyone does aim for himself what "constructive" is and not.
As said, everyone is allowed to rate. And this is just forming new groups and this is just because your god damn file doesn't have this godlike 4.9/5 rating. gg.

Nope, I search for constructive criticism.
If someone downrates the file for some reason or another, it better be a damn good one so that I can learn from my mistakes rather than seeing the generic "It's bad" response, which is quite unhelpful to say the least.
Good try at avoiding the point though. The keyword was "bad reviews", not "bad ratings". I don't mind "bad ratings" because, yes, I can report those, but "bad reviews"? Where the bloody hell am I supposed to work from with "It's just bad"? It's not telling me anything other than the person's opinion, and he didn't even point out why it was bad so that I could fix it ^_~

Nope, "Block an user", "^_~"
OT: I think this is a bad idea. If people really revenge rate that much, just post on the forums
That's like if you got rid of all the negative reviews for a videogame or a film. It would be stupid.
also keep in mind that all the comment and ranking stuff is NOT ultimately about having the best score!
it is about getting criticized. getting feedback. good AND BAD (as long as it isn't destructive). allowing the content creator to improve the quality even more.
so something like this will not happen. you could consider to disable comments completely if you can't live with bad ratings.

this will only encourage those who want to manipulate the rate of your file.
in a world without criticism no one will improve
RAVENOUS has writtenEveryone is allowed to vote. That's democracy. Live with it or leave. Your decision.
Democracy is american myth. Blocking would defend uploads from revenge ratings. Users can have black list for 5 (max) users.

This is too narrowly focused. Blacklisting users also enables you to revenge vote on others' projects as there are no consequences to such behaviors.
