ratings addon - blocking robots

[pixelposeur]

Has anyone implemented some code for the ratings addon to block search engine crawlers from hitting the voting URLs and adding to the ratings DB?

I imagine this can be done by either cleverly rewriting the voting image URLs so the spiders don't use them or by putting a filter into the addon code itself
to block specific user agents (Yahoo! Slurp, for example).

Anyone else having this problem?

thanks...
