Thread ratings are flawed by design, possibly because it takes three clicks and a refresh.
From what I've seen on all but the biggest forums, only one or two people use the rating, and generally people who are unhappy use them more than people who are happy. Because so few do use them they aren't even close to a representation of what people really think.
Therefore I agree they should be disabled for hacks. Alternativey put (x votes) under the stars so people have an idea if it's a single voter or a good range.
