Have you noticed how there appear to be many less ridiculous ratings since they were no longer shown under reviews? At times albums rocketed up and down the chart like yoyos as people trashed albums but it all seems to have settled down a bit.

They no longer get the publicity of having their name up and this seems to remove the motivation. Or do they not count towards the average any more? Either way, it's a very positive step.

Are you mad? The list is more unstable than a fat man riding a unicycle!

Every time I look we have a new number one, Christ 'Thick as a Brick' is even tasting glory now. And finally, 'Tarkus' has managed to get into the top 100, I think it was a great idea to get rid of the ratings, People are now writing much more reviews, So it shows people are starting to think!! Maybe it'll start fixing itself after a while, And maybe 'Foxtrot' will be in number two where it belongs

Regarding the RWR , either way it doesn`t matter as people can still get on amazon and copy a review and paste it on this site anyway  ,  if they are desperate enough to screw the system

Although the ratings without reviews are no longer shown, it appears that people can still file ratings with less than 50 character reviews. But I haven't tried myself ... in any case these ratings are still in the database.

I just hope no one arrives at your site to start messing around with the ratings.
