most of these ratings won't even affect the averages since they are well outside the normal patterns for those items.

Well, I doubt that's the point. I mean I understand you have a lot to do, but it's quite unfair that one person gets to do it while the rest of the community has to watch them spread their rain of terror. If you don't do anything, then it's telling people it's alright to do this type of nonsense. I assume you are gonna work on this suspicious activity sometime of course, but there are more reasons rather than the ratings getting a little lower that this has to be stopped. I assume you already know that as well which is way I am a bit confused at your post. Why would it matter if the ratings get affected or not? I assume this type of stuff is against the rules of this website and there's no point in being lenient when it comes to this.

What's the verdict on these guys? They're kind of annoying, but if they truly are several accounts made by the same person, then I'd rather not have them forgotten, and if they aren't, well, they're still pretty annoying.
Anyways, not really in a rush to know whether these guys are multis or not, but just making sure that this suspicious activity isn't forgotten.

I'm bumping this because this has happened again. Four users named Lucho, Mozart87, Panchovalerde, and Brujodelosandes are all giving 5/100 to recent albums and 100's to Radiohead and other canonized bands.

Here are their ratings:

Couldn't he just have found... worse albums to bash?

Edit: lol, Suicide is the only album in my top 10 he haven't rated 5/100. He must have the worst taste in music ever. I wonder what he'd rate my chart

That guy isn't very inconspicuous, is he?

And he's (probably) Peruvian, too. 🫢 🫢
