bullet Topic: Rigged Charts
    Posted: 05 September 2006 at 12:38pm
I have received a complaint from a site member stating that the user charts are rigged, and that I choose to ignore this.
 
I will take time out from all the other things I am doing today to go through the database thoroughly, and should I find any evidence of 'multipe signups' to rate tracks, then the tracks will have their rating set to zero, and the artist(s) will be contacted. There are occasions when this turns out to be legitimate, due to members of family etc. using the same pc.
 
I am utterly at the end of my rope trying to deal with the bitching between artists on this site, and will state again, there are a lot of other sites, if you feel that this site is rigged or biased, feel free to go and use the services of any other site. I can't be doing with this.

follow up.
on a quick initial glance, there is one artist who is CLEARLY signing up multiple times to rate his own tracks. I will be continuing my research, but this fella is likely to be looking for a new home for his music very soon.

I am awaiting a response from the artist in question, and unless they have an absolutely rock solid reason why there are a LOT of accounts registered at their IP address, then they will be named shamed and booted.

well, the response that I have had is that the artist in question (first one I have contacted) says that they have many friends who do not have internet , so they all use that artists pc.
