I was wondering, because when i checked the new threads they don't let you rate them anymore
Noticed the same thing.
A shame seeing that I quite liked ratings.
If I didn't want to see others opinions then I wouldn't be going to a forum.
Yes, ratings are no longer allowed in SH.
Doing so effectively forces the person reading to come up with their own opinion on controversial issues, rather than bandwagoning with a post because it got all of the agrees. There used to be a dedicated subforum on here for debates (Massdebating Hall or some shit) where ratings were also disabled, likely for the very same reason.
I hate the fact that they disabled them entirely, but I can agree with the reasoning behind it. People need to learn to inform themselves, rather than relying on hearsay.

Those were pretty much all SH was good for, anyway.
News Node is better.
Also stops people from rating threads about kids being raped funny to get a reaction out of people
