Honestly, it would likely even out in the end. Think you guys are over analyzing this entire thing here. More reviews is more traffic to the site, right? What am I missing?
I think for your average mid-tour, uneventful show that is true. I also think it is somewhat true over very long periods of time. But if you look at the data posted in the thread, they are clearly being manipulated.

I think there are a couple of people who've setup hundreds or thousands of accounts and written scripts to shift ratings. It is crazy that someone has done that and it should definitely be put to a stop.
Thousands of accounts? Please, there's not even thousands of votes.

And most of these shows have 2000 or fewer votes. That's less than .5% of the fanbase.

Ratings are meaningless.
