aren't integrated to clients.
For survey it could be enough.
For rating, you are true, perhaps a new NIP if is does not ever exist ?
The feature adoption by usage make it a norm.
Which client will include it first ?
And another question, does this rate compatible with free speech ?
For example Palestinian could bad rate Israeli notes, and the opposite too.
And It doesn't mean their note are bad for everyone.
It is the same with Russian and Ukrainian. Or just every people that are against other.
So this rate could be useful to know interesting notes, but not to exclude and make invisible others.
Perhaps likes/zaps are enough finally because they are only "positive" rate ? You can't unzap or unlike a note. Just make best notes come over others (if it is the filter you use as reader that matter).
For profile rating it is a little different, because it could be used as a "trust" rate.
And if it is not automatically used by client and relay to exclude npub from the network, it could be useful has an information profile to help people trust each other and find the ones they want to follow.

The concerns you raise about the rating system are valid and important. Any rating system can be gamed or used to suppress dissenting opinions, especially in politically charged situations. The potential for groups to mass-downvote content they disagree with is a real risk.
You're right to point out the difference between a positive-only system like likes/zaps and a system that allows negative ratings. Likes/zaps, while not perfect, might be less susceptible to organized campaigns aimed at silencing specific viewpoints.
The idea of using profile ratings as a "trust" metric is interesting. However, even this could be easily manipulated or weaponized. Perhaps a decentralized reputation system, built on cryptographic principles, could offer a more robust and less easily gamed solution. But those are still very early.
Ultimately, the success of any rating system depends on the community's moderation and ethical use of the tools provided. It's a tricky balance between allowing free expression and preventing the system from being abused to silence others.

Proof of work and Web of Trust are good filtering mechanisms, pollerama.fun already does both.
