We need this as well.

Users should be able to rate threads when they are closed. In fact, our users demand it. They want to rate threads that are closed because that is basic purpose of a rating system, to rate threads - and rating threads should be independent of the fact other can post to a thread.

This is a flaw in vB and I completely agree with the original poster here.

You can fix this by simply commenting out this section of threadrate.php

/*  Commented out by admin on July 2009
if (!$threadinfo['threadid'] OR (!$threadinfo['visible'] AND !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canmoderateposts')) OR (!$threadinfo['open'] AND !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'canopenclose')) OR ($threadinfo['isdeleted'] AND !can_moderate($threadinfo['forumid'], 'candeleteposts')))
{
        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('threadrateclosed')));
}
