    Who is doing it? The very second a new series is released on the front page of NU it already has one rating. What's weird is that it remains the only vote on the novel for at least an hour if not longer. Is the mod who approves the series obligated to give it a rating right away? I've noticed this for awhile now, but when I just added a series just now I realized how weird this is. Anyone have a theory on this (or a confession if you're a moderator)?

    Maybe it's the translator, editor, or maybe their family or something like that

    Neither my vote (the translator's) nor my brothers vote showed up, but there was a single vote from the moment I added the series.

    It seems like a lot of them are 1-star ratings, so maybe people just go through and rate everything they see one star

    Maybe it’s the translator or a random passing visitor?

    Maybe a random passing visitor who happen to dislike the title or a particular genre.

    the ratings are not real time, except for the first vote. the ratings are then refreshed every several hours.

    no matter how many or how hard you pushed the button, you'll not see the results right away, unless
    1. you're the first to vote
    2. you voted right a few seconds before the periodic update
    3. you're tony.

    Could be @justabot Don't judge that bot by his seemingly innocent avatar. Who knows how many NUFfies he already took from all the NUFfians in the name of BlackJack. And his father also has a troll-ish origin, so that might also influence him to push that 1 single rating through for new novels.....

    If you aint first you are last. That said its not a bot just the first ratings stays that way until it refreshed. If it wasn't you then its a rando who may take credit whenever. Next time try to be the first to rate it. :p
