Sadly this is how things work. In the end though there really is no meaning to the number of ratings as long as it is above 20 (luckily).
Anyways, everyone spams sometimes and everuone learns to promote their game in a more reasonable way. I know I am not perfect,and my way if just offering to play the games of other devs doesn't work as I had to learn the hard way. Anyways, I am happy that you stopped spamming.
