There has been a problem with spurious ratings and spam uploads
in the last few months. I deleted about ten spams nearly three
weeks ago and have watched for more spam since then. There has
been none, but I just checked again following your message and
sure enough script 3847 had recently been created and was spam
(i.e. it was some .rar download with non-Vim material).

I have deleted that script and its user. I will have a look at
the rating manipulations when I get a chance, but that may not
be for a while as I am going elsewhere soon.

See "rating manipulations on www.vim.org have taken place":
