I'm sorry but there is no way to do a user specific or forum specific restriction of rating counting. This is a general function for forum.

I recommend do a good configuration of wpForo to stop spammers. wpForo has many option to prevent spam posts.

1. Make sure wpForo Antispam is enabled in Dashboard > Forums > Tools admin page.

2. Enable built-in wpForo reCAPTCHA for all forms on the same admin page.

3. Install Akismet, it's well integrated with wpForo

4. All new registered users posts are going to Unapproved status. people don't see these posts until you set them approved. Make sure you don't approve spammer posts.
