Disable rating for authors commenting on their own post

    Is it possible to disable rating for authors who are commenting on their posts? I want them to be able to add comments but not rate their own post. I am creating a freelance hiring job website but I don’t want employers to rate their own jobs of their own posts. Is it possible?

    Since there’s no answer, I had to be independent to do it myself, albeit learning CSS and some WP functions. I placed the following code on my theme’s comments.php file:

    if (isset($_GET['replytocom']) && $current_user->ID == $post->post_author) { // Post authors can only reply to other user's comments and cannot add their own comment to posts
  comment_form($comments_args);
} 
if (is_user_logged_in() && $current_user->ID != $post->post_author) { // Hides the comment form from post authors to avoid them from rating their own job listings
  comment_form($comments_args);
}
