From http://lj-releases.livejournal.com/82710.html:
A new checkbox on the update page will allow you to exclude individual entries in the ratings system. This checkbox will only appear if your journal is opted in to the ratings feature, and will allow for more control over which of your entries you want to be less discoverable.
"Ratings" is part of Cyrillic services. This box is erroneously being displayed to users who are not opted into Cyrillic services and so have never set this preference, and what's more, the default state for the Ratings feature when you turn on Cyrillic Svc. seems to be "already checked". As far as the update page, basically the system is treating "null" as "yes" rather than as "no". To remedy this, see![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
astronewt's comment here: http://lj-releases.livejournal.com/82710.html?thread=11104022#t11104022 (briefly: enable Cyrillic services, turn off the Ratings feature, then turn off Cyrillic services again).
