Ok from a non coder. I wouldn't negatively rate a thread if I didn't understand it, or I couldn't get it to work. But I would give it a good rating if I asked a question and got some kind of non-patronising help from the author. OR give it a good rating if it was an excellent mod (in that it was useful for my site) gave the "works in 3.5/3.6 only" or similar, and/or it gave straightforward instructions where appropriate.
Ratings are subjective though, but I must admit to being drawn to the higher rated threads
