I think the rating system is generally a good thing. I also think that some
types of messages shouldn't be rated at all, especially posts announcing
pictures of original creations. There was at least one case where I've seen a
post like this being rated below 50. So even if you don't like John's Ninja
fortress/Spaceship/Whatever and don't have anything positive to say about it,
please keep it to yourself and don't rate at all rather than leaving a low
rating. Nobody wants to hear that their creation sucks even if it really
does ;-) especially when it took them many hours/days/months to build it.
