Malicious Ranking Manipulation

[phckerxgu43]

What is missing?

The platform is currently being hijacked.

A coordinated group is maliciously attacking and manipulating the ranking system, taking over Page 1 and Page 2 with non-organic activity. This is not normal usage — it is a deliberate abuse designed to dominate visibility and suppress legitimate scripts.

Examples:

https://openuserjs.org/scripts/miebie.1412/YouTube_-_Block_Autoplay_Preview_Thumbnail_and_Channel_Trailer

https://openuserjs.org/users/Chortowod/scripts

Immediate action is required:

Investigate and verify ranking manipulation or change algorithm

I’m not sure I understand your point.

The scripts you mentioned are quite popular - especially the first one, which has gained a significant number of installs in a relatively short time. That kind of growth can happen when a script addresses a common need and gets shared widely.

As for the second user, they’ve been active on the platform since around May 2020. Having multiple scripts with strong visibility and ratings is not unusual for long-time contributors.

From what I can see, this appears to be consistent with normal platform usage rather than clear evidence of manipulation.

Any explanation is unnecessary—all the data is already in the database. We hope the admin can adjust the algorithm to prevent OpenUserJS from being misused.

Couple of things...

1. Yes there has been some vote flooding. Future flooding should be curtailed shortly.
2. If anyone posts a "sky is falling" kind of discussion on production (OUJS), they too will be actionable especially if they are trying to reverse the vote flooding by flooding themselves. i.e. usually removed. Anyone should be flagging a user or flagging a script.

Utilize Flagging along with development, here is probably a necessity in this case instead of nicety. Thank you for creating an issue for it.
