I have a theory that n00bs who upload tracks that are not rated (tho ideally they shouldn't upload tracks until they get more experienced) don't know what to improve on so they keep making the same low quality rides as before (or they do because they don't like criticism), and some of the crap tracks that do get rated, the comment is something like "booooring" or "this sucks. It could be better" without really explaining, and further discouraging the uploader.
And giving ratings might help give people a better idea rather than blindly downloading, tho it might also be good to download a high or low rated ride anyway just to see if it actually deserves the rating it got.
