I opened this thread because of that brazilian guy but now I know he was already been reported on the report thread so admins if you like you can close this thread and redirect all complaints over there, it should be easier to handle...

Hello,

I have counted 1665 "1stars.gif"on this page !
(and 0 review)

These ratings are not credible at all. When someone doesn't appreciate a progressive band, he doesn't listen to the 30 LPs of the band !

@Sagichim

As has already been mentioned several times, at the moment Admin are powerless to do anything. Until they get a fix it will remain that way.

Not linked to the recent manipulations going on, but there's a guy here who's rated 58 tech/extreme albums in total, and is averaging a rating of 1.00 Just a bit silly. The problem is where albums only have a couple of ratings, it does distort the picture for others looking for feedback on potential purchases.
Of course, this poor person may be determinely trawling through every extreme prog metal album they can get their hands on in a desperate attempt to find one they like? Then again...
May be worth a pm from admin?

Then again, I think you are right. And I would like this not to be happening too, but again we have to face the eternal struggle between rules/guidelines and right to more or less free speech.

It's not right, yeah, but how do we prove it ?
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I'm afraid that Jose Natal has caused damages that will be hard to fix. Just an example: 
after his ratings have been removed, this album 

Jon Anderson Searching for the Songs album cover


Shows 

4.43 | 54 ratings | 0 reviews | 40% 5 stars


But there are only those:

That means 5 ratings for an avg of 4.00

If anyone rates that album (or changes their rating), it will correct itself.

^ I've just submitted a rating only review for this album and then deleted it. The score and number of ratings does correct itself exactly as Rob states. Given the huge number of albums that were rated by our South American miscreant, short of Max running the rating calculation across the entire album database, it's maybe gonna take a real long while before everything is back to normal. .Unfortunately the bulk delete of all the offending entries does not update the ratings

How about this guy?

He also rated the new Flower Kings album, no review, and it's still a couple weeks before it comes out.
