Sometimes it's even worse, they'll have you "rate" the app within the app.

Only if you click 5 stars are you then redirected to the app store for the actual rating, for which the slightly confused user presumably just clicks 5 stars again

I thought this was disallowed in the guidelines.

Same, my recollection was that that used to be the case but Apple told developers they could not, in this particular way, be deceptive assholes anymore.
