For some reason, there's a dude downvoting every image related to Osomatsu-san. Not sure if it's a bot doing it or just a guy with a lot of time to spare, but most images in the tag have a score of -1. Check for yourself.
There's nothing glaringly weird in these images and they're mostly good artworks, so something's up.

To be honest, there's absolutely nothing we can do about that. A large chunk of the lowest rated images are incredibly suspicious and there's nothing we can do about it.

You can always vote the images back up to 0. That's all I can recommend.

Welcome to Gelbooru. The scores don't mean jack.

People using multiple accounts and/or proxies or whatever to manipulate comment and image scores has been a thing forever.


When quality is not involved, I'm used to it happening on popular source tags, yaoi content, or fanart that ships characters together. But lately, mass downvoting seems to be occurring on random artists and original characters. Or just randomly in general.

Some of the high score images are, at least somewhat worthy of it. It steals attention from perhaps more worthy images, but I'm in no hurry to say that 1,000+ votes for Terafuu is wrong or anything. And there are some less than 0 scores that should probably be such as well.



Seeing -20 for a perfectly decent or even high quality image made by an artist that no one has heard of or is angry at for drawing a character that no one has heard of angry at is just kind of baffling at best though. And is getting worse.


Don't set a threshold and it won't matter. The tags are more important for finding what you want anyway.

You may also see that some of our older posts have really low scores because for a while we would please our sponsor at the time by giving a -100 score automatically to anything with the toddlercon tag. Some people would tag it even if it wasn't toddlercon just to give it a really low score and there is no way to fix this.

Had nothing to do with our ad provider. It was because of regular users, even those that like loli, complaining about it. I guess at the time dropping the score pretty low was the only way they could think of to make toddlercon an opt-in thing. It happened at the same time as the change that made toddlercon, scat, and guro posts not show up in the comment listing.
