There have been a few changes to the website view and ratings processes.

They are as follows.

Ratings.
Users can now only rate a story once. This will keep the rating system fair and not allow a user to falsely raise or lower a rating.

Views.
Views are now only incremented by registered, logged in users who are not the author of the story. So if you see a story you like and would like to increment it views please register a user, log in and view the story.

All of this was done to help keep fairness on the website in the future. Thanks to everyone in advance for your cooperation.
