A good plugin, but seriously STOP with the rating banner… If it doesnt stop after actually doing the rating I will remove it

this annoying rating banner will disappear after rating this plugin. Actually it seems to re-appear everytime I return to wp-admin page, that´s totally disgusting! In general this plugin does what its supposed to do. I really hope the developer will make some adjustments to this rating banner.
