Any update on what happened here? I've noticed a handful of inexplicable rating drops on recent releases.

Yeah, the only thing is that the change is not just in their ranking within the chart, but also their average rating quality even just on their own.

Another possibility is the uncertainty that comes with Query Weighted Ratings, the system that is used to determinate the rating and the ranking. This system, that has been used for quite a few years now, makes the rating somewhat dependent on other ratings in the query result. It seems unlikely that M@X has been busy with adjusting the algorithm recently. Edited by someone_else - October 19 2020 at 03:47 |

Hmmmm...another possibility is deleted reviews, though I'm not sure if that has happened anywhere. My only other thought is that for whatever reason the algorithm has changed and that change is affecting some artists/albums more than others, likely due to how many reviews vs ratings they have and whatnot.

I noticed this, with no additional ratings From Silence to Somewhere (even counting Kempokids recent 3 star review), Road of Bones, Hand Cannot Erase quietly dropped down 5-10 spots on the list and had several points knocked off seemingly overnight.

No abuse cannot found though. Guess this mystery might be related to M@X's updating this server, but I may be wrong.

Not entirely sure where to put this, but I noticed that within the past day or so, a ton of albums from the past few years (I've noticed it 2017-2020) that were ranked pretty highly on the PA charts have had a sharp decline in their overall average rating, while most of them only have very few, if any, new ratings. For example, a couple days ago, the album Remedies by Soup had 116 ratings and a 4.12 overall average rating value. Looking now, there's only one additional rating (from me), but even before I adding my rating tonight, it had sunk to 3.97. At first I figure it was just either new reviews or people changing their ratings, but there have been no new reviews on this album, and I've noticed this pattern across enough albums that I figure I should mention it. It also seems to sometimes be targeted at specific artists: for example, I've seen it on multiple different albums by Bjørn Riis, The D Project, and Homunculus Res, to name just a few. I've linked all the ones I have noticed below, but it's entirely possible that there are some which I have missed or haven't noticed:
