He has managed to put a tribute album in the 11th place of the top 100. Maybe it deserves to stay there, but I'd delete his rating first, then his accounts. If possible I'll check out the album anyway, it looks interesting.

Yeah but the only track I happen to adore off Topographic Oceans is cut down to like 7 min. You can't do that to Revealing Science IMO... Anyway I agree with you - these kind of rating manipulations should be dealt with.

Excluding ratings only from the Top100 could be enough

Remove ability to rate without reviewing.
The only result of which being, of course, thousands of 100-word gibberish walls. Edited by Triceratopsoil - March 26 2012 at 17:20 |

^ apparently 100-word gibberish walls aren't a problem that needs fixing.

You could just write one, then copy and paste it.

Hey I don't agree, I like giving my rating but my english is not that good and I am not that eloquent to give a review. They should just ban people who do what this guy is doing and delete those ratings. dead kermit! |

Why don't you try? Of my first three reviews two were deleted by the admins. Just explain the reason of your rating, get help from google in case. I'm sure you'll find more fun than with ratings only. One more word about ratings: sometimes it can happen that one clicks by mistake on a star and can't undo. I don't like rating an album that I haven't listened, can this be fixed in some way?

I will try! thanks for the encourag... encurag.... that thing.... I'll start with an album I know really well even if it already has a lot of reviews...
Anyways this is getting ridiculous... Wonderous- A Tribute To Yes (a.k.a. The Revealing Songs of Yes) Various Artists (Tributes) is now in the top 10??? When are you guys going to do something? or is it okay with you? Then can I create a lot of acounts to boost the ratings for albums from my country? I'd like some of them in the top 10 I won't do it but it angers me that you're letting this guy get away with it... Anyways, still apreciate this site and visit it regularly. |

I assume that that Jose Natal guy is going to get the banhammer, as it appears that he has a huge number of identities.

If it were that easy we would have done it by now.
Hopefully his success in breaking the site (and the rating-only system) will result in some practical tools for dealing with it (that at the moment we don't have). Edited by Dean - March 28 2012 at 17:12 |

The ratings for that Yes tribute albums are:
That makes it a whopping 4.72 | 109 ratings | 0 reviews | 79% 5 stars Now if I rated it 1 star where would it end up I wonder? This manipulation of ratings is too easy at present and may need addressing... |

Perhaps only albums with a certain number of reviews (maybe even Reviewer/Collab reviews to avoid that kind of spam) should be considered for that list. I don't know if that's possible, but it seems like that would help this sort of thing.
