Ya, or rather it worked too well. It was actually used quite a bit, but it saw
almost immediate abuse when people discovered that they could mark posts as zero
from people they didn't like, just to be mean. Internally, it was represented
by a value 0-100, and it still is -- a Spotlight rating is 100 and a Highlight
rating is 75 (IIRC). The main difference now is that a rating of 0 counts as
un-doing a rating rather than casting a rating of 0.
