Who better to rate mods then other modders?

I would assume rating wouldn't just be on playability, but also on construction quality, technical merits, balance, etc

I think it would actually increase the amount of people who would play mods. Its actually quite intimidating to jump on the forum and see 100 mod threads. If the vocal minority says that a,b,c mods all work, are balanced (or unbalanced if desired), and are fun I think the "mod-newbie" would be more likely to try them out.
