So when you submit something to downloads you can’t rate (or last I checked) your own file. This should be either an option or the same for pages, forums etc. I think it’s silly to have an article rated by the person that made it. Unfortunately save for hiding or deleting it I can’t prevent it.

Isn't this already in the reputation settings "Can react to own content?"

Ratings and reactions are not the same thing.

Oh huh. I would've sworn it would've disabled self-rating.

Here there is a plugin for TOPICS only; I'll try to make it suite wide somewhere this week:

 

I don't want it for topics (rating for topics is fully disabled on my site anyways), I think it should be a larger setting. Specifically things like "downloads" and "Page records" are what I'm talking about here.

Someone posts a page article and reviews are enabled. They go down and they review it giving their own article a 5 star rating.

Personally I would like that if they are the author that they can only reply to ratings/reviews.
