Have you searched for your problem: Yes
If so, what terms did you try: "Ratings" "Default Ratings"
State the nature of your problem: I've noticed that there is a default rating whenever a user tries to upload a new story. Is there a way to make it so that there is no default rating and the user is forced to manually choose one from the drop-down, or at least let me as Admin decide which rating is the default?

I believe this is similar to this thread: https://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=3751.0
where they didn't want the default rating for reviewing stories to be set at 10. I would like the ~MPAA ratings for stories to be mandatory, but not to be chosen for the user because many people are overlooking that section thinking they've already filled it out and the ratings are not accurate to the story.
Any help is appreciated!
The main problem is not being able to resort the ratings once they're created. The more I think about it, the more I realize it's a serious undertaking. You could try adding a column to the database similar to how the panels work, and then adding another rating that you have an if statement about that refuses to submit the story until another rating is selected. It's all the middle steps that are complicated. :
