If there are twelve 5 star votes and one jerk gives the thread a 1 star that wouldn't change the 5 star ranking.

encouraging more members to vote would be a good idea. It probably does not take much to rebump a thread back up to a five, and a couple of times i have even hinted in a thread that I would like that to happen.
