I disagree. I get the sentiment of your frustration but the rate threads really help gauge the most active members in the community and the active members of the community are the people who's games I want to play. There's too many submissions to do it any other way, unless you plan on going one by one through the submission page playing all ~2000 submissions I don't know what else can be done. If you have a suggestion for a better system I'd love to hear it though.
