How do I rate a thread?

I haven't been able to find this using the search feature, and the forum FAQ is useless on this topic. Can someone tell me how to rate threads? I can't even see the star ratings of other threads...

    I don't think threads here HAVE ratings.

    Which makes me wonder if only a few people are able to rate.

    In the FAQ, there is a section on rating threads which is useless. Players have mentioned thread ratings in their posts, and there is also the "thumbs up/down" thing on some threads in the list.

    the thumbs down is a title emote:

    Thread rating is disabled in all publicly available STO forums. If you were around during the Beta periods, you may have noticed that those new forums had thread ratings active, as it seems to be the default for this version (or implementation) of vBulletin. But the forum moderators have since disabled all thread ratings.

    If you wish to petition for the activation of thread ratings, you could post why you want them.

    Publiclly rating forums is too over rated and simply not a good indicator of a good thread. I could mention any number of reasons why rating a thread is a bad idea. The only one that matters is that I have seen publicly rated threads that were garbage but got highly rated more out of being a joke. That demeans the purpose and just says that the rating system is flawed.
