Rating info is in the FAQ, but I won't be a $@#%@# about it and give you the snippet:
Q: I see posters rated as Scholar, Sage and Guru. What's up with that and how do I get a title?
A: That is part of the Karma system. Your Karma rating is determined by averaging every rating your posts have received from the users of the site. The rating comes from posts made under your registered name on any of the rated forums for any game covered by allakhazam.com, but does not include posts on user journals. You must have at least 15 posts before you receive a Karma rating. Then any future post you make will start out at your Karma level. Anonymous posts start at a rating of 2. Titles are assigned to your posts according to the following scale:
Karma below 3 = user. Posts are in dark blue.
Karma between 3.01 and 3.65 = scholar. Posts are in yellow.
Karma between 3.66 and 4.34 = sage. Posts are in green.
Karma between 4.35 and 5 = guru. Posts are in red.

And to rate, I think you have to have at least a 3 (someone correct me if I'm wrong), and you rate posts through a dropdown box under the name, number of posts, and score, then hit the button at the bottom of the page to rate. Of course, if you haven't seen it yet, then you can't rate posts yet.
