Something I'm missing?

Yes. I think the average is to know how users admired a thread.
Here's an example:
In thread Q, there were post AA & BB.
For user A & B rates 3 & 5 for post AA, A, B, C, & D rates 1, 3, 4, 2 for post BB and the rating credit wwre:
post AA: (3 + 5)/ 2 = 4
post BB: (4+4+4+4)/4=4
thread Q: (4 + 4)/2 = 4
I think a rating credit is to show up a post or thread's value or quality but not a page view (summation). How do you think? Or there's another methodology we can discuss about it.
