What is the purpose of thread rating?

To give the thread a rating, usually based on the contents. While browsing a forum you can see what others think of a thread, and you can sort by rating as a way of finding the "best" or "worst" threads in the forum.

Is a CSS version of this possible?

It is misleading as only very few users use it at all.
Recommended to deactivate because of proven uselessness.

Edit: Just out of curiosity and because of the essential questioning the purpose of the thread rating I gave your thread 5 stars.

I guess it is factually a sort of free thread advertisement offer that invites abuse.
Imagine a few friends cooperate as an "ad ring", mutually pushing each one to 5 stars. Bingo   

+1 for deactivating thread ratings. It is suppose to give an idea of how good a thread is, but it isn't that reliable.

thanks
