This is an interesting question and one I discussed with an a2a friend once when we discovered we had the same sponsor.
I rated him the lowest, but she rated him at 3 just in the middle. I asked why she thought he deserved a 3 and she said he didn't but she just wanted to be nice.
I don't think our rating should be about being nice. After all this is a business and our sponsors do or don't get their TL benefits if they continually fail to take care of their teams. The rating is linked to their financial reward, so it should be accurate.
These are questions I think should be considered when rating your sponsor.
Does he/she send you regular weekly team mails?
Do these team mails share anything worthwhile with you?
Does he/she write any posts in Stream?
Does he/she send you congratulatory emails or e-cards when you achieve a milestone?
Does he/she write and offer any suggestions to help you succeed?
Has he/she made any attempt to build a relationship with you?
Has he/she ever reassigned any other affiliates to you?
Has he/she ever offered any prizes or encouragement in any form?
Does he/she ever go into bat for you when you're having problems? ie Has he ever contacted Support on your behalf, or researched some answer to a problem for you?
My sponsor rarely does any of these. In 3 years I think I've had less than half a dozen team mails, not a single email or congratulations ecard.
That is why I rate him a 1 - if there was a 0 I'd use that.
If your sponsor does all of the above, you are very lucky and should definitely rate him/her a 5. If he does half those things, then maybe a 3 would be appropriate, but if your sponsor is lazy and isn't there for you, then don't give a good rating just to be 'nice.' That's not what it is about at all.
