Running ratings script more than once

[auspiral]

I'm curious what would happen if you run the rating script more than one.

For example I import my posts, lets say it's 1000. Then I set the ratings, I give 10-20 ratings for each post 2.5-5 stars, randomly.


If I go back and run the ratings script of WFR, will it replace the current ratings or just add more ratings.


What I'm thinking is, seeding all my reviews with 10-20 reviews with 2.5-5 ratings, then running the ratings generator a second time and reviewing each post 1-3 times with ratings of 1-2.5 stars. Im hoping this will look a little better than never having a review under 2.5 stars.

What do you think, would this work or does the script work in a different way?

Thanks!

The generator ADDS more ratings, it does not replace.

Your idea is a solid one! Good creativity.
