Rarely do I rate an image...I think it is pretty much a useless feature on Renderosity. Sometimes if I am overwhelmed by an amazing image I may give it 5 stars, but I know that when I am doing so it doesn't really mean anything. That's why I always disable ratings on my images but leave them open for commenting. That is the feedback that really means something to me. My suggestion would be to just ignore the ratings. Most people who have been here a while do the same. I don't see that changing it to a 1-10 system would make any difference really. Those concerned with the number of stars on their image ...well, that is their choice. I know some poeple just leave it on out of habit too. It is an archiac holdover from a more surfacy time. I think the admin just thinks we need to have a rating system because so many other sites do it that way.
