And rawTOP advises to hide the cheat, so that it cannot be seen in source code, so at least he is honest and admits that it is a cheat. And another point, this cheat helps not in regard to get better results, I already wrote: it's useless because the poor up to the best sites just have 3 stars up to 5 stars instead 1 up to 5 stars, it's just another scale, but the problem stays the same.
