Summary0002466: Too many stars when using the reviews feature
DescriptionIt is possible to have all the following star sets on a single reviewable resource:
 - Stars for resource rating
 - Stars for each review
 - Overall averaged review stars
 - Stars for rating each review (i.e. if people like the review)

While it's all standard CMS functionality, in aggregate it seems really loopy and is likely to confuse.

Changes to resolve this:

1) Do not show the "Overall averaged review stars" if resource rating is enabled. This way people can look at the "Stars for resource rating" or each "Stars for each review", while the less important "Overall averaged review stars" can fall by the wayside.
Note that this situation is likely rare, as most users won't even want to have both ratings and reviews enabled for a resource.

2) Force post rating into like mode for reviews, so you can't rate a review using stars. This way the post rating is more like a "Did you find this review helpful" kind of feature that many sites like Netflix have.
