Whahahaa, just copying the one before him. Great!


Exactly, he’s just copying the rating text before and generally giving numbers that are out of the norm. Check Morning Delight for example. His "review" starts at line 3 of the previous rater. In this case he has actually dragged the beer down one position in the top 50. To confuse matters further the next rater down is a copy of the previous before him. I don’t care too much on policing every beer but fake ratings on the top 50 is more than annoying.

Ok this has really ruined my day.. (After actually attending Borefts no doubt) He’s copied Markextrae’s rating for Narke Rasperberry Stormaktsporter. He doesn’t just copy the previous, he’s just copying any to try and hide it.

http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/narke-kaggen-raspberry-stormaktsporter/290074/1/1/

He’s at the top of the "raters of top 50 beers" list and is messing with the rankings by putting any old numbers in.

Anything can be done?

And why is that beerlove231 guy there all the time as well? I think they’re both fake and should be deleted immediately.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s top 50. Annoying anyway, should be deleted immediately.

Please put this stuff up in a general topic, so higher admins that are responsible for it can pick it up. Edo and I cant do shit about it.

This problem is bigger than I ever imagined. You spend years of effort, money and fun sourcing these great beers and some idiots just fake ratings like this. Mean to set up a post in the general forums for this but right now I’m going to chill and enjoy a few beers :)

Pull the trigger already.

I wonder if it’s untapp’d people trying to fuck RB’s database up. If it is we should return the favor, but the problem is Untapp’d’s database already is fucked up :P
