We've actually had this discussion before about ratings and why it's important to do more than just give a number. Generally we prefer people to leave a bit more of a detailed review and leave the who number rating out, as it really is a scale that is hard to quantify. However, in a world where many stories go months without getting much feedback, it sort of becomes  a mixed bag. While I am sure that most people would love to get elaborate feedback, sometimes a simple rating serves to acknowledge that at least someone read it and took the time to fill in some sort of response, even if it is something as simple as a 9/10 type thing.

Instead of ranting about what other people do, just make sure that you try and set the pace that you'd like to see. Review some stories, leave some good feedback and don't overly concern yourself with how others choose to do it.
