I’m not quite sure how WoT system works, but it seems that an influx of new users all rating a specific website highly over a short period of time could be an indication of a low-quality/unsafe website (e.g. a scammer spends a little bit of money on Mechanical Turk to get a reasonably high rating).
(Also, I’m not sure about the reason for this post, but if it was prompted by Jotto999′s comment here it would be polite to acknowledge it.)

Oh, it wasn’t. I hadn’t seen that. But thanks for pointing it out.
And the reason was just to bring some more attention to it so that hopefully it would get fixed.
