Should we hide ratings?

You may have seen these on blogs/documents/content:

It allows you to rate the content on a scale of 1-5 out of stars.

I've heard good and bad reasons for keeping these (publicly) viewable and I'm looking into how we can do something about it. A lot of websites or social media sites simply allow you to 'like' content, or not and don't use a rating system like this.

It's partly a relic of the content management system that we use, Jive, but it's also something I'm concerned about for the next platform we use.

So let's have a decider.

I seem to recall that star ratings tend to be used in the Essentials quizzes, e.g. 'give a star rating' to earn the badge, so removing them completely may need some changes there.

That wouldn't be a problem.
