I just added an often-requested feature. Users and items will not show the star rating until they have 5 votes. Many authors have complained in the past that a new item was killed early by one nasty rating. Now it will take 5 nasty ratings to cause the same anguish.
No, really, stop the cheering. You are making me blush. You are too kind. 
This is a really good thing…much appreciated! Now we only need the moderators to be able to change a rating when a user accidentally makes a mistake and is willing to say so. Good Stuff!

I kind of liked that the themes without enough ratings said “Awaiting 5 (or 3) votes”. Looks kinda goofy now that it’s just blank there. Just my 2 cents though! Thanks again, a great new feature.
I’m glad they removed that, it was cluttered when you viewed a list of templates saying the same thing “awaiting 5 votes” all the way down the page.

@shadow66142000 – hmm, fair enough. Probably just used to seeing something there and now it’s not, ha.
