Prevent biased self voting by post authors

  • Hello,

    How can I prevent logged in authors from voting on their own published posts to prevent biased voting. Only other loggedin users should be able to vote on his post.

    A function to hide the rating widget from logged in authors when they visit their own published posts.

    Thanks
