Now i have proof. I posted 5 new Buckethead reviews this morning around 8 am EST

Within an hour this guy rated all 5 with 1 star

So either he has found a way to listen to 2 1/2 hours of music really, really quickly

OR he has already listened to all of the Pikes and just waiting for someone to post

OR more likely, he's just simply plastering 1 star on every single release

Off with his head! LOL

Just kidding, what say you wise and powerful admins?

Ahh a fellow Dane!
...who sadly seems to download every release of the frontpage and then rate haphazardly - sometimes without listening to a peep. Stylish.

^ That's weird because the ratings are still there but no sign of anyone who left them. For example on the newest two i posted, there are two ratings. One is my review and the other is clearly a one star rating but when i look at the list of ratings there are none

It's not that much work since he joined in 2011 and his one star rating was for a 2016 album.   Quick rating takes very little time, especially when, as he seems to, you rate lots of albums by a band at a time. Splitting hairs, but that is not the correct number, though. He has a total of 6559 ratings. He has one 1 star, one 2 star, two 3 stars, and over 300 4 star ratings. Still, that's over 6000 of those which are 5 stars by my rough estimate.

Hey there guys, is there anyone that could possibly please look into the instant one-star down-voting going on with artist SUNRISE AURANAUT? The guy always cops it pretty ruthlessly, and there's at least one or two occasions going on with the repeat offenders where it's clearly the same person with different accounts.

Thanks for at least looking into it.

Oh, I've had a few. 4.5 star album, someone comes on, anonymously posts two stars, bu88ers off without a comment. Perhaps I've upset them on the forum. 

Then again, so what ? ;-)

I'd like to request that no one is allowed to rate anything without putting their name to a review and their reasons for the rating. No name, no review, no vote.

Hey team, can something please be done about this? I've mentioned it before so not sure if it's new issues or just more added on to the initial complaint, but it's pretty obvious this is ALL the same person creating endless accounts.

In fact, it is rife throughout ALL of his albums, and really not fair at all.

Looks like he's up over 8,600 now with 8,148 being 5 stars.  Didn't realize we had that many 5 star albums on the site!  Ermm

Well understood, I suppose they would be manipulators from the similar place but cannot be really sure ... Unhappy

Will keep an eye upon this issue.
