Can we not rate photos if comments are disabled?

That's the question.

I have disabled the comments feature, but I still want ratings enabled. The settings look good, but if I try to rate a photo, I get "user comments are not allowed" message.

Nope since ratings are comments only with no text description comments need to be enabled.

Well if thats the case you really need to make this clear in the admin section. If I disable comments, nothing tells me that ratings will also stop working, and vice versa.

I would like to see this changed in a future upgrade. I would think there are plenty of people who would like to allow ratings, but disallow comments, or the other way around.
