Website About ratings farming

Hello everyone from the Brawl forums, RMST1 here.
I don't know if this has already been found, but I found a way how to ratings farm on the Brawl forums.
So basically, you find a player / make another account and make a Private Conversation. After that, you spam posts in there and rate the other account / the other account rates you. This is called Ratings Farming, which I suppose is illegal on the forums.
I know that player who do this will get banned, but removing the option would be way easier.
The like button has been added in the Private Conversations for big groups of players discussing about a topic, and when someone posts a succesful reply or anything like that, people can rate their post, which makes sense.

So you ask me, why is this more effective than just rating your own posts on the forums?
Basically you can do the same on the forums, but it might be more suspicious as people can see that you have a rating on every post you post. Doing this on the "Public Forums" will make you get banned easier, as lots of people are able to notice easier.

Doing this in a Private Conversation with 1 or more friend / accounts make you able to not get the attention of the big public. No one ( Except for you or your friends ) is able to read your posts in there, and I do not believe Staff also does ( Except for Admin. Also, you don't have to write a post that is on topic / has useful information to not receive any warnings from the Smod+. This makes it able to post farm on the forums.

How can we fix this? We can easily fix this by removing the likes on the private conversations. Thats it. The only problem of that is not being able to rate each others's posts in when in a group of people. We could also make it able to rate each other, but not count the ratings in your total ratings by just letting it "Show up" in your post.

Thank you for reading, leave your opinion down in the replies.
