1) Ratings too high or too low: Has anyone else noticed their ratings

I can’t help with the other issues, but this one could be caused by unscrupulous
people exploiting the fact that MOCPages doesn’t seem to range check the input
for voting.
I just conducted a quick experiment, by copying the URL the page provides to
vote for 5 smilies:
http://www.mocpages.com/vote_ACTION.php?id=6112&vote=5
and editing the value at the end:
http://www.mocpages.com/vote_ACTION.php?id=6112&vote=500000
I managed to give your train a vote of 500,000 smilies, which pushed the average
up to over 30,000. Panic not, I’ve changed my vote back down to a reasonable
value, but less scrupulous people could use this in more subtle ways to
effectively control the vote.
Cheers
