Rather than "everyone has to be a winner," I think this is a case of no one would bother if a rating system existed. Who would actually want to be a mentor with a system like this in place? Even the best mentors could end up losing their status over troll ratings from people who get salty about being given good advice. A mentor who stays quiet (to avoid down-votes from people who don't like being given advice) could end up being down-rated for not offering advice!

And honestly, how would a grade from mentees--a group which includes many people who flat out don't know how to play this game--be validated? The people most likely to down-vote a mentor are liable to be the people who have the least clue and need the most help...
