Just been building some algorithms to try and better identify this kind of activity. The table above shows the top 9 items where the number of new ratings added in the last couple of weeks as a percentage of the existing ratings for these albums is unusually high (i.e. it tries to catch items that previously had a low volume of ratings that have a sudden glut of activity). No surprise the aforementioned list of Angels & Airwaves albums in this list. Next step is to go through the accounts that have rated this item and take the necessary action against any accounts that have been gaming.

Well, kinda strange those accounts are still active. Or maybe not, because they only rated A&A albums
