| The recent rating wars have created a plethora of alt-accounts/bots that are rating the top anime. Also many new accounts are commenting on those anime episode discussions. There is another problem, which is scam/bot accounts who post links on forums. I think if myanimelist applied a system where an account must be older than a day to post in forums etc. and rate anime/manga, such problems would be much less. |

| I think this would be annoying for people who are just starting on MAL. Like imagine creating a MAL account but not being able to fully make your own list the moment you create your account. Very unlikely this would ever get passed, it would just discourage new people from joining MAL. |

Its just an idea, I dont think the bots and alts are too out of control to handle with other methods |

| i think the idea's fine but with a small twist how about older than a week to rate *and* have that rating affect the overall mal score they can still rate their shows but it wont be accounted for in the overall score until a week/ x days has passed one day is not nearly enough imo |

| I thought there was a system that Mal created to prevent situations where people make alt accounts just to increase/decrease an anime's rating... |

Yeah I know that, but it's not instantly working, it takes days, usually weeks to get rid of those alt/bot accounts |
| I'd like to make myself believe that Planet Earth turns slowly |
| for posting on the forums I agree with, some people have suggested more extreme lengths of time but a single day is all you need, anything longer has severe diminishing returns on effectiveness for ratings it is unnecessary, that's what the system we already have in place is for, which already works quite well the illegitimate accounts do not have to be banned manually for their scores to not count, they never counted in the first place |

| Why hasnt MAL just made it so u need a phone number to create an account lol. These days everyone above 13 has a phone so its not a problem |
