Blog / .plan ratings

Is there any way we can eliminate the anonymous rating system on the blog / .plan entries?
It's quite annoying spending hours and hours making a well-thought-out entry only to have some yahoo come by and with the click of the mouse give you a rating of "1 star" without so much as a comment.
A couple of solutions: Let only those that have posted responses actually provide a rating, or have a link that you can press to see a list of everyone that rated the blog and what rating they gave.
I'm sure you know your website internals better than I do so maybe you can think of a better solution, but the current anonymous system really provides a skewed perspective.

I'm not sure how the transparent development web framework will change the site, what parts of the site, or whatnot, but it may touch resources or resource ratings. It may not, though. I'm not sure exactly what changes are in store.
But a different system would be nice. I've never been a fan of the anonymous rating system.
