| How could this get the top manga spot? I mean, how crazy a bug has to be to put a manga with 700 members at top 1, it's not like dropping or gaining 0,3 on it's score xd |

RainFTW said: why do you assume the Mods are behind this? I'm just throwing theorires for all this chain of events like fma dropping to 9,10 and 2 random mangas getting in the top 5 |

| @MehmetY one piece score also drop from 9.08 to 9.07 so does fmab from 9.13 to 9.12. |
MehmetY said: abystoma2 said: MAL should make it so scores by new acounts do not count in the mean score, giving them enough time to deal with the fakes without fucking up the rankings. +1 this is good idea. i suggested something similar in the past https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1670520 but it got turned down and im sure other users have suggested the same thing too and even more but seeing that Kineta said they will do hard coding now rather than manual whack a mole stuff im sure they compiled all this suggestions from the past and apply them to hard code of the site now since the ranking is fixed already |
ugmon said: since the ranking is fixed already Not, really, Shirobako: Introduction is still at #17 and Sakura Quest is still at #21. Funny thin is, once the troll acounts get deleted, the counterforce low votes from regular users will probably stay, making these two really low rated, contrary to what the spammer wanted to achieve. |
You all need to watch Nami. |

| Am I the only person who thinks that this review on sakura quest, feels like it wasn't written by a human? |
| Jolyne Kuujou + Steel Ball Run Universe = Billie Eillish |

There are mistakes in sentences, that not even a child would make, also he's telling about this manga "being for adults over the year of 22", it's very short and doesn't explain his scores, where by the way doesn't add up: 10+8+10+10, and now there's 99/100. It just feels very fishy. Last minute discovery: there's a second review, that was just posted up, and is also a bit suspicious but it at least feels like it was written by a person. |

| Just what the FUCK. No 5 with nothing but bots voting 10/10....just dafuck MAL..? |
| Just passing by. There are lots of bots in Chinese anime Mo Dao Zu Shi 2 just because it's one of the top ranked airing anime now. Here's how the downvotters scoring looks like in one of his account. He's a Vinland Saga, Code Geass, AoT and Touhou fanboys. Recently he's getting a LITTLE smarter by making his anime list restricted but we all can tell he's the same person. Lots of bots ever since moderators decided to close the thread that report duplicate account. |

| I noticed a lot of my favorites are getting downvoted too, not sure why. |
| I mean if people got time to waste just downvoting or upvoting shit then just let them. It's not gonna change anything about what we know the real score to be. Besides when all their accounts are deleted all their efforts will be a waste anyway lmao. |

| Bwahahahha this is hilarious But also blame the coding team for not implementing proper mechanisms to prevent bots. https://myanimelist.net/profile/GingaBoosting https://myanimelist.net/profile/GingaBoosting1 https://myanimelist.net/profile/GingaBoosting2 https://myanimelist.net/profile/GingaBoosting3 https://myanimelist.net/profile/GingaBoosting4 ...... https://myanimelist.net/profile/GingaBoosting73 That's 74 accounts by one person. It goes even higher then that but some don't have any ratings (yet). MAL closed the illegitimate account thread before making a solution. Should have left it open till then. I contemplated making a script to detect such boosting accounts but I kept procrastinating. Also it should be easier for the ppl working at MAL to write a more efficient script since they have internal access rather than me trying some inefficient web scraping program that'll put unnecessary load on MAL servers. Edit: Although it's like a game of cat and mouse. I'm not into cyber security but I have view access to a channel where they discuss such stuff. Someone bypassed google captcha by claiming to be a handicapped user (visually impaired?) and then using an audio to text generator to solve the captcha. Another person hosted a browser extension on a website made with javascript that was somehow making bots on Facebook in the background without users knowing. Not sure how they did that, maybe they used other languages as well. |

| Yeah i did a double take when i saw this at number 1. So random. It's back to normal now though. |
| Thread locked. It doesn't matter how much you discuss it, there's nothing that can be done about them from a moderation perspective right now. And please do not report the score boosting/bombing accounts. |
