What’s the point of even rating anything anymore? The rating is meant to give an idea for people to see how an anime was received by the general community. Experienced users know going by the score is a farce in the first place, but most of the time it can be helpful. But if MAL continues to allow a troll/trolls to manipulate the score then the score is meaningless. You want people to pay you for a monthly sub for a site that can’t even be managed properly? As the title says, WHAT A JOKE! Get your shit together MAL.

I understand your frustration. They added more security measures so bots can't make so many accounts. Unfortunately, it's already too late.

lol that's exactly it. But I just keep thinking how can they be so limited and disgusting to the point that they would do that, ignoring all the effort everyone involved put into the anime. Just because they don't want it to be popular...

MAL is great if you ignore the average ratings lol. I just read reviews now. If an anime has three 10/10s and one 9/10 like Chihayafuru s3, you know this shit is GOOD.

How sad must a person's life be if they're making 1540 accounts just to down vote a show.

They are scripting it so its not as sad as manually creating 1500+ accounts but still pretty sad

I wouldn't waste my time writing a program to create 1500+ fake accounts just to flex my taste on others.

I know it's disgusting. What makes it worse is that it's been over a week since it happened and nothing has been done about it. Can't possibly be a lack of resources can it?

It totally is a lack of resources. They haven't banned accounts that boosted some random manga into manga top back in August yet.

Like this one for example which is at around 100 now (used to be near the top) and is voted on almost exclusively by voting bots voting 10s and 1s (it wasn't translated yet so majority of users couldn't read it yet)

Im also pissed off because this is happening, but do we really need a whole new forum post on the topic every single time the rating drops?

How did u assume that it's Gintama fans? And which shows they had downvoted before?
"I think I wanted to attack something. Like betraying people or hurting people. And, well, it's not exactly nice, but hurting the readers too... In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author).

Owarimonogatari
Kimi no Na Wa
Vinland Saga
Mob Psycho 100

and the least go on, go check the account giving 1/10 and i can asssure you a Gintama fan is behind of this. We expose them 2 years ago with the Pingu in the City incident.

Well Gintama itself is a victim of downvoting. Lol, who isn't? Maybe some unpopular below 8 anime.
I am interested to hear about pingu in the city incident.

nah. a lot of pretty average animes get 10s all over the place.
Ef got 10-9-9-10 and it's really apalling, maybe the worst of all 77 animes I've seen

An anime with 6.xx average rating with mostly 9 or 10/10 reviews PROVES the ratings are skewed. Chihayafuru 3 is a prime example of this.

If it's a 6.xx ecchi harem anime or BL fanservice anime, it will have like a joke review of 10/10 and the rest will be lower most likely.

Literally every major fanbase has done this on MAL when a series threatens the score of a show they like. Let's not jump to that assumption when Brotherhood fans have been the biggest offender of this recently.

I meant that mediocre animes with only 10/10 or 9/10 reviews are everywhere. People just have low standards, really. I'm not saying it's bad, it's great for them, I'd love to enjoy every shit there is.
Chihayafuru 3 is a very rare case of score-bulliying, it almost never happens that hard

Yesterday, the development team and Luna+I reached an agreement on a first phase approach to combating the rating troll problem, with subsequent dev phases following the first to make the system more robust against malicious attacks.

Development will begin next week and a site-wide announcement will be posted once the first phase of the system is deployed. Please give us a bit more time for the tech team to implement our numerous demands and for us to test the output to investigate any unanticipated problems. This issue is high priority and we would like it resolved as quickly as the community does.
