Let me try (translating as closely as I can):

Рейтинг пользователей и сообществ, формировавшийся по просмотрам, также прекращает свою работу.
The rating of users and communities based on [the number of] views is also ceasing its work.

Does this make sense? If it does, feel free to edit it into better English. It seems to me that they are just getting rid of the rating altogether, or at least aren't going to display it anymore. Which may fit into that same picture.

I would translate it as "The rating of users and communities on the number of views will no longer function"

I can't imagine they'll get rid of the ratings entirely; it's a major component of the homepage. My interpretation is that they're somehow going to remove page views from the rating calculation.

This is how that Russian law defines "blogger" (ugh, that Russian legalese!):
Владелец сайта и (или) страницы сайта в сети «Интернет», на которых размещается общедоступная информация и доступ к которым в течение суток составляет более трех тысяч пользователей сети «Интернет»...
The owner of a site and (or) a page on the Internet, on which public information is published and the access [traffic?] to which is of more than three thousand Internet users for 24 hours...

So removing page views does make sense.
