I don't have a clue as to what a rateings is,,,But ratings is a different thing. Click on Rate thread and the rating box drops down. HRP Excellent Good Average Bad Terrible
On the surface of it, it can kind of seem like some sort of a contest. But I don't think there's any prizes involved. I'm strictly guessing here, but I suspect there's a more functional purpose. If you do a site search for an older post, and your search terms return too many similar results, I suspect the higher rated threads get moved higher up in the search results. Kind of used as a tie-breaker. Prizes would be nice, though.
