While editing the mod page of my very first SA Cleo script realeased on this site (yeah)
i noticed that the 'Views' count was increasing due to reloading the page.

Isn't this some kind of "Views and Download count cheating possibility"
which some itiods might use to make their mod more interesting?
Well, its not really unfair against other mods but misleading.

I rated my script once (like a politician votes for his own) which i think is OK.
I downloaded it once (just to check).

So, what about a limit for rating the own mod and disabling view/download counting?

All mods can only be rated once and views aren't that important, really. Cheating the view count would be redundant, as a high view count next to a low download count would just make the mod look bad. And downloading over-and-over isn't going to be easy for the particular user.

GTAG v2 is implementing a new Downloads System, not using the premade IP.Downloads system. So it will probably work out a lot better for mods.
