R ratings in general forums like News etc. are difficult because people have different views on things.
What one person find good information someone else might have an opposite view.
In other general forums I find personal experiences important instead of quoting from articles, though links to articles might be very interesting.
As you know Owner forums can make their own decisions.
As far as alerts there not many anymore, CZ has changed there are often 20000 people (used to be 6000) on site and most of them might be sightseeing and don't even post, let alone know the rules.
