Blatant example here:

http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=2985
http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php?c=2997

Even in comments:

"Best album of 2011 (so far). Oh, and btw, this is not a greatest albums ever list; it's more to the likes of a "bumpthisfuckingalbumup" great records of 2011 list. "

I know the IP addresses are listed at the top of the chart, but is there a way to combine/delete/alert similar members?

ALSO

Discussed before but some users add charts with 1 or 2 albums. Can charts under say 10 albums be exempt from ranking?

I've deleted the two charts you referred to in your first post.

Yes, I agree. It's about time we started to discount very short charts from the rankings and ten sounds like quite a good number. This would mean charts with less than ten entries would contribute no points towards the overall rankings.

Really don't see why people want to rort the sytem. Anyway...

Having this limit of 10 albums to get rank would see a few changes in the overall chart I think. But might get a more accurate picture of the site's true user input.
