What can be done to prevent authors from claiming to have updated their extension just so they can always stay near the top of the list? Not saying that this is what these guys do, but an author could add or remove a blank line from their code every single day and claim it was 'updated'. It looks bad on AMO. RNMtoolbar currently has a rating of 0.31 -- AMO needs a special section for extensions (and authors) such as these --- "The Shitter. Enter at your own risk".

I would prefer to see extensions that abuse this system and others (such as manipulation of the rating by posting many self-serving positive comments and removing negative ones) removed completely from the AMO site, but as a minimum they definitely need to be kept separate from the main extensions. | |||
