Thanks quartier. I'll add
TheShiznit to the main list.
Regarding duplicate accounts, I had originally created a separate list for them in the opening post, but decided to remove that separate list to keep the thread focused. I actually have a list of some duplicate accounts still. I was debating whether to make a new thread for them. Is this something you're interested in me doing?
Oh and I'm adding some other aggregate users to the main list:
Film.comRTomatoesR EbertRoger_Ebert
About the duplicated accounts, I think is usefull to have the list. I would be happy taking a look.
I don't see a problem in the Roger Ebert's accounts, they are the ratings of one person right? If it was the ratings of his site after his death I would get it, but they are not... right?

I added
IMDBTop250 to the main list.
Also...
Yes, you're correct that the Ebert accounts are (to my knowledge) just a collection of his personal ratings and are not a collection of ratings from his site before or after his death. The more I think about it, I agree that accounts like that don't belong on this list since they only pull from one person's ratings. However, if there is more than one account that collects an individual's ratings (such as the multiple Ebert accounts), I do think they could be included in the duplicate accounts list. So I have removed them from this list and added them to the
duplicate accounts list.

I'm intrigued by
HAL9000.
Very little activity from 2014 till July of this year, then a bunch of mini-reviews, almost all the same rating, consisting solely of a sports-related nonsequitur that includes some portion of the film's title.
60 % 2001 Maniacs (2005)
"2001 nba championship"
70 % Dynasty (1981)
"la lakers dynasty"
60 % The Magic School Bus (1994)
"That Magic Season: The 1980 NBA Playoffs and Championship Series"

I'm not sure what to think of this. His mini reviews are titles from documentaries on youtube. Example -
UntouchaBulls - The Chicago Bulls' 2nd Championship Season.
Definitely something weird going on.

BadCosmonaut,
I just came across this thread. Thank you so much for compiling these! I was having the exact same problem you mentioned you had in the original post.

Thank you. I added both of those to the list. I also added another one to the list:
tomatometer.
Just for future reference, sometimes I can take a while to reply (months even), but it's because I sometimes have to go out of town for long periods. I won't abandon this thread without first making a post about it. Also, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon as I'm probably going to be using this site for the rest of my life.

Thanks so much for this list. I've been using this site for recommendations for a few years now but haven't really looked too far into its workings. These users/bots go against the whole point of this site. Criticker understands where I fall on those love-it-or-hate-it movies and then these users/bots pull that Probable Score back towards a 50/50 middle-of-the-road rating. Now I know these irritants exist and that I can Ignore them. Thanks again!
