Hi Nilesh,

First off sorry this reply is late in coming, we are having (seemingly
constant) issues with our sourceforge hosted list server.

Our ratings rules for who can/can't rate are extremely severe due to
rampant abuse of the system on ccMixter. If by "other people" you mean
yourself logged as other people from the same machine then we detect
you are doing that and prevent it.

If you want to circumvent the strict no-self-rating policy to make
sure that your system up and working properly you can temporarily
disable this by editing the file cclib/cc-ratings.php Look for a line
that says:

   function IsRateBlocked($record)
   {


and put

   return false;

right after the open curly-brace '{'

Once you've confirmed that ratings are working you should remove this
extra code because it's easy to get the ratings system of sync with
bogus and duplicate entries.
