What I'd like is if someone rates your thread bad, they should have an option to say why. Eg. I have a thread in Computer Hardware for my thoughts on the Oculus Rift and it got a 2 star rating. Are people just going around rating things to get points or was it just because someone didn't like it and didn't feel like sharing his thoughts in the thread?

Edit: 2nd Example - I click on Off Topic and almost all the threads there are now rated 5 stars. Feels like people are abusing the functionality now?
