I remember reading a thread earlier that the mods stopped tackling issues like this, because it was so too difficult. Unfortunately, there are some weird people with a lot of time on their hands to care enough about MAL score do something like this lol.

Not difficult, they're just incompetent. It's not hard to identify fake accounts and ban them. But no, they'll lose their fake users.

I am too old for this kind of crap and I shouldn't care, but this kind of annoys me. I love this show and it's messed up that some sad individuals will go so far. One thing i would like to caution everyone is that, this are very few losers and not the fandom of VS. Feeding these losers encourages them more and it really doesn't matter what they. Chihayafuru was never going to be a household name, so there will be no negative impact on it popularity and on the contrary more people keep hearing about this show because of all this crap.

It's both sad and funny to think that someone would go to such lengths to mess with MAL's scores, just because they feel threatened by an anime. That's not surprising though, the whole concept of rating anime is not healthy, it enables a competition between shows and it changes our mentality.

I think the scores should be secondary and not displayed like that. I'd love for them to be used for automatic recommendations, a "Members who liked this anime liked these ones too" kind of thing. Like, you take every member who rated an anime 7 or + and you make a top 10 based on their lists (shows that have been watched by less than 10 or 20% of these members wouldn't appear on the top). Well I'm not sure how it'd work exactly but you get the idea.

This is exactly why MAL should remove the same amount of votes from the top and bottom, both extremes, to normalise the average. By removing the top 531 10/10's and the bottom 531 1/10's the score normalises around the 8.6 average mark.

Honestly MAL should do this for all the shows in the top 100 list because there's always people voting things 1/10 to "address the balance" because they think a show is rated higher than it actually is.

Mal scores have a certain relevance and if you know how to interpret them then they're are also pretty reliable. And now you want to tell me that due to this case at hand and one guy, the whole system got fucked? Nani?

MAL scores lose their relevance when one nolife can affect the score this drastically. Why bother even showing a mean score if it's not accurate and can be altered this much by one troll? That's the point here. Also, this isn't the only case of something like this happening, and I can tell you right now it won't be the last.

MAL is a site where you're supposed to go if you want information on a show. The mean score being fucked would obviously affect this. Like, people would look at S3 and automatically think it's worse than the others because it's rated so much lower. And most of them wouldn't look at the stats to see if they're botted because we shouldn't HAVE to do that. If you don't personally give a shit then fine, you do you. But when even the mods are acknowledging that they think think it's an issue and would like to fix it, then I'd say it's a problem.

lol the reviews are bs, made by fans in an attempt to bring chihayafuru back up. now don't get me wrong i haven't watche chiya but i believe it's an amazing show. but the reviews are obviuoly a desperate attempt at redemption, now for the trolls. No they will not be removed and mal is working on a solution that probably won't come for a good few years. And the score being dropped massively by bots accounts is mostly due to the minuscule community of chihaya 3, so a person took advantage of it and made enough accounts to troll, thats all.


Ahaha you're not making any sense, what you're saying is the death of fun. So people should only review shows they're unhappy about? What should one do when he's loving a show, forbid himself/herself to talk about it? You believe it's a good show and yet people would be lying about it in their reviews? Not making any sense.
Also you're not even watching it, what the heck are you doing in this thread lmao, are you one of those VS fanbois who's coming on the field to relish their mayhem? You're so obvious.

uhhhhhh, you made an account just to reply to my post, aight. and i was just pointing out that all the reviews are obviously biased and one shouldn't judge a show based from those reviews just because you want the show to do really well. But quote me with your actual account so i can defend my point instead of you being lik HAh So ObbVious People Like YoU aRE The ScUm of THe Earth, like bruh how sensitive do you think I am to get offended over the internet. If you want to argue then quote me so i can reply and you can see it. Also i am by no means supporting this degenerate who now made 500 bot accounts to downvote this show

It won't spread like a diesease and even if, it's just a number on this site. Listen, people who are genuinely interested would watch it anyway. Getting worked up over such trivial stuff is ridiculous.

I don't really care about mean scores that much either, but as I've already said, this is clearly still an issue and it shouldn't be allowed to happen. It goes against the very purpose of the site. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Only 12% of 1/10, I really do not see the issue, but when it comes to 50%, maybe it will be time to notice that some temporary solution should have be found a long time ago. Of course it will not change anything to my life, but this is too bad that it may restrict the number of future watchers. One could also think that this is great publicity for the title and that the downers are actually fans of Chihayafuru with good intentions...

I don't think this method works. I mean the trolls can easily change their way of scoring from 1 and 10 to 2 and 9. in my opinion, MAL should force their members to add more information to their accounts like phone numbers, but this way may irritate some members and make them leave the website.
What about making your vote valid on the global score only after validating your account? I mean, you can still vote and have your rankings, but it's not going to be counted on the global score.

Good point! Even though it may still irritate some members, it is better than what is happening right now. I mean if this shit continues, MAL will lose their relevance.

Yes, if it happened to some obscure anime then no one would care, but that's more because people wouldn't know about it happening in the first place. But I can guarantee that if it happened to any currently airing seasonal with more than like 5k viewers then it would get noticed and reported. However, you also have to understand that it is extremely unlikely that someone would bother doing something like this for an anime that didn't have a good score because there wouldn't be much incentive to downvote an anime to hell if it already had a poor score to begin with. That's just how these kinds of people reason

But it works the other way too. I am an admin in the MAL Score Progressions club and we track these kinds of data every day of the year, and I can tell you that for example last season, Symphogear XV had the opposite problem where someone was making a huge amount of bots to upvote it instead. It got boosted from like 7.90 to 8.52 in the span of 2-3 weeks by bots and people weren't exactly happy with that either. Even today, that still has not been fixed. But it was a similar story then of threads being locked and deleted whenever it was brought up. Eventually people get used to the idea and move on once the new season starts and it's no longer on the currently airing tab though but I digress

For what it's worth, in all the years I've been tracking statistics on MAL, I have never seen an anime get more than 10% 1/10s from bots before. I don't think I've even seen 4-5% until this happened. Chihayafuru's raid is on a completely different level to anything before because only recently back in August did MAL staff stop deleting accounts at the same rate as before. That's why it's a much bigger problem now than in the past


Mod Edit: Removed the quoted post. I'm leaving this post here because it contains other information too but please do not continue the original discussion that was full of baiting. It is very obvious that this is a problem created by someone creating hundreds of accounts just to downvote the anime.

@-Aincrad-

I totally agree that it is annoying the way that you described it. At first I was sad because it was aimed at Chihayafuru (the anime which wasn't significantly popular or with annoying fandom or anything) and I simply like this series, but soon it became irritating because it defeats the purpose of having any sort of global ratings and rankings on MAL and now the Chihayafuru score chart simply looks ridiculous as if only to confirm that ratings are meaningless (which I don't believe to be true).

I dont like the fact that mods are deleting those threads either, however complaining about mods in those threads won't help it either as I am quite positive that they are deleting them because they don't want to see people complaining about them when they are working to deal with the matter but it may take some time (at least that is what I think Luna said).

Lets give them that time. It has been about 2 weeks since this the whole thing started. I don't mind waiting another 2 weeks.
