The database should store only 2 decimals, but if you are printing out the raw calculation, before it's inserted into the database, you might come up with more.
If you are talking about any numbers to the right of the decimal point, that would lead to grossly in accurate ratings, more so than what the program currently does.
I'm about ready to release an upgraded ratings mod, sort of a part of the review system, that will allow only one vote per link per member, and the ability to change it (similar to amazon if you need an example). It will also track all user votes, and provide a much more accurate rating (as well as a distribution), for each link and each user.
Unfortunately, it works in "real time" or during a build, and won't work both ways, so it won't do intermediate builds at least at this time.
I had initially thought to allow both logged-in ratings and unlogged in ratings, but realized the current ratings system is really only good for "Previous ratings were xx Votes xx.xx score" type system, since it's not well caculated. This will replace the current rating system, either keeping your old rating/votes for historical purposes, or dumping them. There is no way to include them in any of the distribution graphs, so there is no point trying. Best to just start over (or fresh if a new install).
I think I have the code finished, but I'm trying to get the templates and value passing working in a releasable form.
Also, it will allow ratings on a scale of 1-5, or 1-10, as about the only other installation option.
