Since Erased has got into the top 10 anime list, the average scores of other anime in that list like gintama went up. Lol I don't know why I made this thread but I know some gintama fans will read this and all I want to say is are you that butthurt your show is being outranked that you need to go make mass alt accounts to keep your fave anime in that list?

Lol. Some people actually cares so much about MAL rankings that he had to make this that. W O W

Neither a Gintama or Erased fan.

Edit : The likes of Gintama , Code Geass , OPM and the " Hyped show of the season " will always be overrated. With the help of both normal and alt accounts. No reasons to take them seriously.

People made alt accounts to down vote clannad, this I know for a fact. People absolutely mass make fake account to up vote anime for sure. Especially anime that is currently airing. A lot of People give shit a 10 before it even airs too.

And, you know, sequel effect.

@OP
What anime? The 1st season of Gintama would be the obvious choice for doing so, but that one has been on 9.05 since I checked last week. Current season has been swinging in the 9.15-9.17 range for quite awhile now, you know (the fact that a new serious arc that may or may not be considered better than the previous one, may also have raised the score for some). Gintama' has been 9.15 for more than a week aswell. Idk about the movie or Enchousen however, but I call bs @OP.

protip: you can check the latest people who've added an anime in their list (Stats -> All members, like this: http://myanimelist.net/anime/9969/Gintama/stats&m=all#members )

and if any of them looks like a fake account, report them to this thread: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=245618&show=0

you wont find many btw; fake accounts are like boogeymen, often blamed but rarely the real cause

LOL, is that true? Coz imo the rating of top 10 anime is not changing or maybe have very little difference since the last time I checked it. As for currently airing gintama, maybe it's because the previous arc was great, and current arc looks promising, and not because of Erased entered the top 10

I think u're overthinking about it.

Anyway i don't understand why people think that Gintama fans are making fake account to downrate Erased, why would a fanboy of a series with 3 seasons & one movie in top 10 do that, it's just.. stupid.

Mainly because Gintama got multiple entries in the top 10, which makes people think that Gintama fans are the only ones who do so without, without realizing the fact that the highest rated series of Gintama also has lower amount of people who rated it, thus resulting in the boost.

Does it really matter that much?

If some sad fucks have got nothing better to do with their lives than getting salty over the fact that one Chinese cartoon is rated higher than another, there's nothing to do other than pity them.

It's not like the MAL rankings are even that important anyway.

Meh there's no need to make fake accounts to raise Gintama scores because Erased's score should go down sooner or later. To make accounts that make a difference are a lot of work to raise the score. It's fine. That or Gintama pulls another season after the current one and gets that new season into the top 10. Either way Gintama reigns over half of the top 10.

Gintama fans are cancerous and I certainly don't think the same anime should take up 4 spots on the top 11 list on MAL! It's just stupid.

The day you should start caring about an anime database's rankings, instead of enjoying your own anime, is the day MAL's forums stop looking like it came from 2007.

Who cares, let losers be losers.

Hmm I did notice a few changes. Before erased aired that top 10 was basically unchanged with the only addition being the new Gintama.

But Now with Erased @ #7, Steins;gate is #3 and LOGH went down like 3 positions I think to #10. Lol it's actually funny.

AFAIK they just delete the alt accounts. And surely there was a reason. You can make an inquiry in the irc about your ban and the mod that banned you is obligated to have a discussion with you about it. Take it from a guy that has a long record of getting banned.

Not only create accounts to vote 10 of the other top, also for voting 1 (just look at the latest updates to users). Anyway, they haven't a real weigh in any of the two forms. It must be very sad to lose time creating accounts simply to be happy with a simple top. If you like something, you don't need that is even in the top 600.

Plebs are just salty and can't accept that Gintama and its multiple seasons are more than deserving of being ranked where they are, so they lie to themselves with risible reasons to make themselves feel better.

Is it one vote per account?
One vote per IP address?
Combination of both?
Is there a way to actually fool it or was there some way to fool it before that was actually removed later on, like deleting cookies?

I thought of that but i remember LOGH was around 1.4% 1/10, now it is 2%, This is weird because it (percentage) never went down, so i thought maybe the score of 1 stays in effect.

Anyway its more logical that the scores will be gone.

This is true. Sales is everything. Erased will only be increasing quickly by a huge amount while it is airing like how One Punch Man did. After that its back to normal.

I know when that happened i did all that, he asked me a few question regarding my ip adress, and he said " I thought you were someone using an alt account, i will unban you shortly", apparently there was no reason to ban me he just admitted that he made a mistake.

Be more interesting to see where Erased is after the final episode. To me scores on an incomplete anime don't mean much as things can easily change, and if fake accounts are trying to affect its position in a list then its almost a laughable situation where people shouldn't care that much on either side.

Na I can confirm. I remember someone telling me how erased was top 10 stuff and took a peek at the list and LOGH had a mean of 9.09. Just checked now it seems to have a mean of 9.10. Lol

Edit: oops sorry it went down to 9.08 it seems.

It's stupid anyway.

one vote per account, and the vote counts towards the average only if they've seen 1/5 of it

the formula is a bit more complex, as it's detailed here http://myanimelist.net/info.php?go=topanime

the way to fool it is obviously to make more accounts; you can check the latest posts in this thread to see what an actual "illegitimate account" looks like: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=245618&show=0

Would people actually go to that much effort to protect the rating of their favorite show or to bolster it above another rising one? Just seems kind of pointless to do, it'd take some time to make the bots as well, right? As bored as I am with my own life I can't imagine doing that, unless I was planning to troll for shits and giggles.
