clearly I did not rate this thread low since last time I checked it has no rating at all, which is the case for the vast majority of threads here. In response to your serious question, here is a serious answer. Unless the rating shows how many votes there have been, it is not a good indicator of anything at all. For example, you could see a 5 on a thread, but it might be one person (even the author) rating it, where another thread might have a 4.3, but with hundreds of people rating it. Unless you have a display like 4.3 (4 votes), I don't think it has much value. Actually, even then, I probably would not bother with it too much since number of responses and views are of much more value to me.
