Wik, I was referring to 2011, not 2010. Also, The mods do a better job of answering questions now than when the old mods did. Back then, the mods didn't even reply to a lot of the questions! The users had to answer each other's questions sometimes! Take a look at this link and keep going forward in pages :

Also, the reason they disabled ratings was so that people couldn't troll others that way. Right before they disabled it, some troll made duplicate accounts like "Talmid_is_my_mom" and rated Talmid's topics with those accounts so he could see it.
