Illegitimate (Duplicate) Account Detection System: Scores Will Be Recalculated Site-Wide

Lynnelxo said:


With how they have handled it. They should have ignored it. Also what do you mean by, “...looking into things.” I know and use many services that limit 1 account per phone number and emails. For example @Lyft @Facebook @Uber both use phone numbers to verify accounts. @LeagueOfLegends uses 1 email per account. There are many other ways of handling this. @Transformice Allows you to have multiple accounts but all under the same email. Look into that one that site has horrible trafficking but they still get the job done. And almost none of these are rating/review oriented. It is piss poor that this is the limit of MyAnimeList. Here’s some controversy Now eat it up.

Then why when minority start to cry when majority like something? And force to manipulate scores from within? It doesn't matter from witch side it is manipulation is still manipulation. And if some anime is not your "cup of tea" doesn't mean it is bad. This move is forcing SJW views on majority - typical move.

Once manipulation starts from within ratings loses all point and credibility.

No it isn't. There is nothing to do with SJWs in this situation.
Way to politicise a "meme"
A guy manipulated the scores using his audience. The staff fixed it. That's it.

gamers12 said:


This argument will go nowhere. Nether side will win. Staff manipulated scores - audience want to fix it.

I see absolutely no problem with how MAL handle this and, beside that, there's no way I'd accept giving my phone number to random company like that. Requiring a phone numbet for signing in sounds like a worse solution that brings absolutely nothing positive to the website given how the new system work just fine.

Lol what controversy? You're just salty that some shows are given better score than other. This is the reality, just accept it.

The score was fixed after the vandalism. End of story.

gamers12 said:


Who said that there was vandalism? Minority? So you call SJW manipulation fixing; hmm... What audience did was fixing problem. End of story.

DomineLkira said:

That's not called "manipulation" that's called fixing , bro.
Maybe Nux shouldn't have done that?
Even if he did , he should have just accepted that he did it for the meme and not spout bullshit like" I wAs pRoMoTiNg mAl "

CondemneDio said:

You're a waste of time to converse with; anything not to your liking is the work of your boogiemen.

I made this post: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1824628&show=0#msg59136783

When suddenly anime/show appears which many (majority) like/appreciate, then appears people who can't handle that.

For example, If I hate some anime (not my "coup of tea"). Should I rate them as 1? And spam that on every similar anime. This thing goes both ways. I guess it would be better to show % how many like that and how many don't.

This didn't started with Nux. This started with SJW crying and forcing their opinion on others. I think that in a sense that became matter of principle - SJW forces their opinion on others, so it was a way to fight back and show that their manipulation won't influence others. At least that is how I see this.

This comment is probably the most stupid thing I've read in the past 2 weeks or so.

DomineLkira said:

But you are contradicting what Nux said. He said it was a meme.
Are you disobeying your lord?
Blasphemy!!

gamers12 said:


LOL LOL That was good joke. I loved that. I'm my own man.

DomineLkira said:

But you manipulated the scores when Nux asked you right? So you DO listen to what he says. Maybe you ain't your "own man"?
It wasn't a joke , it was the truth.

gamers12 said:


I manipulated nothing! That is the truth. So from my perspective if my opinion is not counted by MAL, that proves that MAL is the one doing manipulation not other way around.

P.S. Try look at my forum post if you haven't seen.

SRT_120921 said:


Fuck mal wtf.this anime is like rotating from 6.99 to 7.02 this past few months and suddenly a 0.12 drop out of nowhere. Way to wreck your site. Why not focus on those 1s and 10s from your top anime instead of lowering the scores of non popular ones even Bloom into you lose 0.4 and Symphogear XV lose 0.14.Nice fluctuation, very legit haha

keragamming said:


Look at it this way, a complete adaptation is more likely to have a better score than a a series that is split into seasons. Do you think if fmab seasons would be split into 4 seasons do you think all 4 seasons would be all rated 9.23? Nope that would not be the case, fmab is where it is because it is a full adaptation/great adaptation you get the full package.

So its way more complicated than it looks, but it would surely put all sequels at a disadvantage if we were to group all seasons into one.

@Jeivee
I agree with you, people aren't looking at the other side of the coin and not seeing the disadvantage that would be for sequel series.

DomineLkira said:

If you actually use the site instead of voting and running away , your vote will be counted.
What's the problem? As far as I know , no site wants inactive users right?

gamers12 said:


I use this site. But for most part I'm not active in forums or conversations. So I don't know if that clarifies as voting and running away. In any case I don't think that I'm running away. There was period when I wasn't online here for half a year. Does that also count? I just started to be a little more active in forum because of whole commotion made by SJW. To tell the truth, I'm feed up. I don't think that I'm only one like that. This recent commotion is proof to that.

But in general I agree to what you said.

DeathTheKid4 said:


The only commotion that started was caused by Nux and his fans though. If Nux didn't started the vote brigade, there wouldn't be a need for the second algorithm and everyone would have been happy. The first algorithm against bots and duplicates was already going to be implemented and it was worked on long before Nux started his charade. I see no SJW on MAL. On funimation? Maybe, but I don't care. This is MAL not funimation.

You do not have to provide a phone number. I mentioned email as another method of doing it. And you are wrong as providing a phone number would make it safer rather than not. I am referencing 2-Step verification.

The way MAL handled this would only create more problems in the future. This entire event seems shady to me. IMDB has not had a problem with this before and most likely would not act on it. MAL: 7 day wait on a vote to process / 6 Months of planning. These statements are worthless jargon just to throw votes under the bus. And seeing how you mention that you are afraid to provide a number to this “random website” proves how fishy they handled this. Many programs provide 2-Step phone verification which includes but not limited to:

@Google
@SummonersWar
@WorldOfWarcraft
@LeagueOfLegends
@Blizzard

Also because it seems you do not have a facebook. You sign up with your email. If their system believes your account seems ‘fake’ they ask for a phone number verification. They use it for no other malicious intent. If you suspect MyAnimeList using your phone number for malicious intent or commercial purposes, then I am pretty sure a lawsuit could be filed back (I am making that statement with no backing.) But in every case the phone number is just to verify your account it does not link a phone number to a service and if it does a complaint can be made. This is a solution that works. Eat this up too sharks. Thanks for the response.

Not from my Perspective!

Animukas13 said:


Jeez this still going on? Cant you just stop blaming one party or will it make head exlode?

Mal did manipulated scores. They have no way to know witch score is legit and witch are not. (Shame they dont stopping 1/10 as they stopping 10/10 though)

Also, each person manipulates scores when they votes. It just calling rating.

GoodZoom said:


was making a star wars joke LUL

CondemneDio said:

The only thing funnier than seeing these people melt from the "score manipulation" is when they just can't stop using the same circular arguments over and over again.

GoodZoom said:


was making a star wars joke LUL misquoted it though as a cox n' crendor joke

GoodZoom said:


I literally made a lame joke some persons opinion and they get riled up. the speak here was similar to Anakins on the volcano planet.

Animukas13 said:


Wow you that old?

GoodZoom said:


LOL nah i am like 21 born in 98. everyone knows a lil star wars. My dad loved the prequel movies and had a bunch of memorabilia. didnt revenge of the sith come out 2005 anyways

Animukas13 said:


I see. Not bad though star wars not my tea cup.

GoodZoom said:


TBH the prequels are a great for meme watching. So much weird quotes and cool action. Not a star wars fan either though i just know most of it from references and Lego: Star Wars i've seen like 4 of the 12 and some of the Cgi and cartoon series. I did have a teacher who wrote the timeline down for star wars though.

Animukas13 said:


That must be badass teacher.
Welp dont get others too fluff out by memes

GoodZoom said:


Yeah he is even has a boxer for a wife. I would name drop but that shizz is a bit revealing. And no harm was even incited from the meme. I literally don't mean to cause any harm from quoting star wars.

Animukas13 said:


And he got more badass. At least you can say you had great teacher.
I know, just some people dont get it but: A Meme! A Meme for everyone! An true symbol of the Internet.

GoodZoom said:

Yep he runs a small YouTube Channel as well. Hmmm might as well Drop his channel here since it's all public info and i was one student possibly out of hundreds. https://www.youtube.com/chronoradio

Animukas13 said:


Thanks bud! He really looks great guy. Have nice day ^^

Oh man massive report abuse is going to be a thing soon.

Healmeplz said:
Meh, I guess I am a bit too late to ask a question but I will ask it anyways:

Does this affect the score of reviews too? People may have created account to upvote reviews to bring good or bad reviews to the top of the list too.
