I don't think he does so maliciously, but his reading speed seems to be completely insane to the point of him completing 20h games in 4h or 50h games in 20h, as far as I'm aware the whole point of adding the opportunity to vote for length was to give people more accurate length than just a very rough estimate, but guys like these kinda ruin the whole purpose, no? Imho, his votes just should all be private, because they don't represent the actual length of the game at all. It's maybe fine when games have many votes and his votes don't influence the number much, but there are many of those where he is one of the only if not the only people to vote on game hence giving it completely wrong play time. I'm sure he's not the only one to do so, but I've seen him specifically a lot and there's no way to report users at least not as far as I can see. Maybe I'm overreacting and this is fine by rules or something, but you've said it yourself that bad information is worse than none and his information on game length is bad, so shouldn't something be done about it? |

The playtimes where he didn't finish the game or dropped it are already marked as uncounted, and their times are not taken into account when calculating the average. I did flag a few playtimes that seemed suspicious, but all in all, it doesn't appear as something that needs my attention. |
| #3 byMidiru 2023-05-12 at 19:11 | <report >Sure he marks them as "fast", but the site only recalculates that with n*1.25 when in a ton of his votes it should be n*3 or even n*5, so that doesn't really help the situation that much even though it more or less works in general (even though I think that multiplier should be more around 1.5 considering how people use it). In general I just think there's a very big difference between a game that's 3h long and that's 9h long, but with lots of his votes they get mixed together and straight-up lie to anyone who looks at it which seems pretty bad to me. By the way, why isn't there a way to report profiles like there is with posts and visual novels? It would've been easier in this situation rather than writing a post about it and could really help to report bots. |

You should ask Yorhel that ;-)t950I also agree that there is a huge variation how people use the 'fast' flag, so the realistic speed can vary greatly too. Maybe there should also by another flag 'very fast', that has a multiplier of 2 or something... |
