You might want to remember that almost all those moderators and admins are also coders.

Ratings are there for anyone who wants to use them, and have been for five (+) years without any ill effects. There is no compelling reason to suddenly remove them. Personally I don't pay any attention to the thread ratings of mine or anyone elses threads - but that doesn't mean I agree we should just turn them off. I don't pay much attention to any of the style/graphics forums here either, but I'm not about to suggest we should remove all of them.
