Just thought I'd point out that 5 out of 6 of the users who gave this album a 1 registered on the same day and have the same votes.

Again, does it really matter?

Again, does it really matter? The time you are taking creeping through other peoples profiles, you could be listening to the music.

Not sure if this would be considered rating abuse. All but one of his ratings are either 10 or 1, and he seems to be targeting either Top 10/20 albums of the year and Top 200 albums of all time.

Written by LeKiwi on 04.04.2016 at 14:02

Here are four more, definitely abuse and targeting top 200: user #1, user #2, user #3, and user #4. This last one is questionable: user #5.

Finally got around to doing these. Dankes.

Quick question: do you remove their permission to vote as well?

Written by psykometal on 15.04.2016 at 17:56

Not right off the bat. I delete the votes and send them a warning PM first.

This guy has (at least) 7 profiles with hundreds of 1 and 10 ratings. Currently, last login was at the same time (80-81 hours ago) for all accounts:

So one should probably delete 6 of them.

Written by psykometal on 30.04.2016 at 18:42

Totalbanned all 14 of them.

Look how many 2016 albums he gave 1s to.

I can understand that rating abuse is annoying sometimes, but seriously, does it really matter that much? Important is that you listen to the music and form an opinion on your own. I honestly dont care if some of my favourite albums get downvoted because of some idiots.

Written by Nicko's Nose on 18.10.2016 at 06:56

Bump.

Written by Guest on 19.10.2016 at 12:14

Well, sure. But how about all the ratings between? I've seen people who give something like 100 albums a 10 and have an average rating of about 9.5, which is honestly the same bullshit as downvoting albums to benefit favourite albums. Why not nuke these votes too? In this case, there will never be an entirely accurate representation of the votes.

Written by M C Vice on 24.10.2016 at 05:25

Is nothing but 10s, 9s and 1s (only 4 of 82 are 9s) vote abuse?
Also, anyone else find it weird/suspicious when someone gives a dozen albums by the same band 1s? After the first few, I wouldn't bother with the band anymore.

Sounds like rating abuse. Usernames help in the decision making process.

Didn't add originally 'cause I wasn't sure if they counted as abuse.
