In another light, those disruptive votes could be called opinions. 
Should the Rating a Thread Sys. be removed?

D_B:
I see 3 threads out of 16 with 1 star and 3 out of 16 with 3 stars.
Personally, I don't see why it bothers you... But really, if it is ONE person doing this, then maybe its possible for their privilege to rate threads could be disabled? (as suggested by Ted_S)
I just don't understand what kind of person would spend so much time rating every thread at 1 star? I would imagine that eventually, they'll get bored, and the ratings will eventually correct themselves as well??
OP
It didn't before, but it did after the slighting of justleesa ... but now it just looks funny
(actually 18 forums, and almost every single thread was rated 1 star before)
Note: I found out It's not possible to stop just one user from abusing the whole system .. as usual :shakehead

DB - After talking to Net Doc. We have changed the way that the rating system works. Ratings of threads will not be displayed until they have 10 votes.
How does that sound?

Brilliant!
Although having the minimum set at 10 might be high ... it still leaves the opportunity to rate a really bad, or really good thread, as such , threads that are read by thousands

That's kind of what I thought too...D_B:Brilliant!

I asked him to do 5... I'll see if he'll change it

What stars? *shrug*
I voted 1 star for this thread. As I see it as pointless, as I do the rating system.
My opinion.

5 or 10 minimum ratings makes a lot of sense... and with so many people active it shouldn't take long to get to either number.
