Disable Photo Rating

Is there a way to disable photo rating altogether? I imagine I could use CSS to hide the voting section and I know I can remove the global permission to vote, but I was hoping there was a setting somewhere to specifically disable the rating of photos.

You can disable Votings in Photos module by deleting the following record in the DB:

DELETE FROM `sys_objects_vote` WHERE `ObjectName` = 'bx_photos'

Will that also remove the "Top" option from the drop-down on the Public Photos block?

It will not remove any menu items, this modification disables the rating block only.

Where is the code to edit that drop-down menu? To be clear, I am referring to the little drop-down within the block itself. I know that I can edit the main navigation items through the interface.
