Perhaps the name should not have anything to do with "ratings". Imagine the stars as radio buttons that can be linked with a list of values.
Probably most users would use the feature for things like personal ratings, but its usability would not be limited to that.

Would a check box be different from a single radio button and a clear button besides it? (Except that it looks a bit different.)
Though, I assume that coding a checkbox would be a routine task for the developers.
14. NEW: Added edit type "Five stars" that can be selected for user created database fields.

A yearly bump.
MC13 has a new option:
It makes possible to create additional star rating fields, but it is limited to exactly five values that are 1,2,3,4 and 5. Without the limitation it would be what I have requested here.
Here's a related thread on the MC13 board: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=48761.0
