It appears that there were 22 or 23 votes today,
all for -1 karma.

Some preliminary findings for the ratings of script 3342:

Things look normal up to 2011-12-14 00:26.
In the next 12 seconds, there were 22 ratings of -1, each from a different IP address.
Of those IPs, 19 also downloaded the spam script 3847.

I can delete those bad ratings, but I won't do that at the moment in case someone like Bram wants to have a look at the data. [...]

Sounds like the same thing what happened earlier. Although it's weird that the script was actually downloaded from the same IP addresses. That would not happen if the rating link was accidentally showing up somewhere. It's more like a crawler that goes through a list of URLs.

Yes, it seems the same as before. Are we still close enough to the incident that the ratings could be correlated with something that indicates a User-Agent header (which might show that it's a poorly-written crawler)?
