If it's not immediately clear, could you suggest alternatives to consider?
All of the following were tried but looked odd:  "No", "None", "No Rating",
"Don't Rate", "Erase", "Remove".

Unrate. If that's what it does.

We were at one point talking about using rating as a way to tell that an
article had been read. If that path is pursued, I'd differentiate between all
of the following (somehow) states.

never read, never rated
marked as read, still never rated
marked as read, rated as a no comment (adds to the rating pool just like
counting a "no comment" vote at a board meeting)
marked as read, rated with a number

and I would allow changing between states (specifically to unmark, and to
withdraw or change a rating from number to NC and vice versa)

Now, that may be too complex and you may be working on a different scheme to
deal with "read". In which case never mind (BTW I am still seeing the purple
link bug, still trying to come up with a reproducible scenario... it SEEMS to
be on groups I read a lot when a single new post appears, it shows as read)
