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.

    cstanton  I will leave stars mostly for projects. The problem is that with most of my blogs (a lot) I get likes, some comments but almost never a star. -- REMOVE THEM.
