    Gaining WOT activity scores by copy-pasting

    I've found a WOT member, who started rating with WOT in january 2012 and already gained by the end of the month over 5000 activity points.

    There's nothing wrong with being active. The top members, like g7w or MassimilianoF have gained over 60'000 points now. But they rate the sites based on many blacklists and do a great job. The guy which started one month ago has no blacklist, he just copy-pastes the site description or the top comment, and saves this as a rating.

    I have no idea what to do. He didn't answered me after I told him, and deleted my post. So I wonder what you may think about this, and what I or the community could do about it.
    I want to do something, because it's really annoying to see someone trashuses dear WOT for I honestly don't know what (what's the point of becoming platinum member by describing thousands of sites??).

    I also don't know wheater I should lay open the users username or not.

    Thanks for answering!

    Such is not uncommon, yet such fast moving usually suffers ones reliability factor.
    He/she is not the first or will be the last. . . unless you see what one would consider manipulation, don't lose sleep and trust the algorithm to properly handle.

    Other words, it is what it is.
