if the 'Replies' are more than 10% of the 'Views' then there's a good chance that the topic has wide appeal and has attracted replies not only from a good many people, but also a diversity of posters (not just one or two going back and forth - though this does happen). As a bit of a generalist, I find that these posts are the ones that I tend to be most interested in and contribute to.
if a sizable proportion of regulars were to use this as a guideline it could seriously skew the outcome.

And you may or may not get the outcome you want if you don't bother.  Well, that's let the cat out of the bag! -Jim Schrodinger ...

stales, I've been using a related rule of thumb.
Your rule (if under 1-in-10, cnosider passing it up) is designed to weed out.
I've been figuring that if the at least 1/7th of the views generate a reply, the thread is likely to be of high interest; that is, particularly worth a read.
