The voting from these two users seems very suspicious to me:
https://metalstorm.net/users/BasilioSatan/profile
and
https://metalstorm.net/users/steliosd/profile
Both are taken care of. Thank you for reporting them.

Here's another user who's ratings for this year look questionable. I swear his been handled before though, maybe his returned with the same intentions?
https://metalstorm.net/users/album_votes.php?user_id=122561&r_order=year
Thanks for noticing. He got double warned because after I sent him the first warning I noticed that he had also tanked Centinex's entire discography with 1s. Coincidentally I will see them live tonight.

Might just be a very harsh critic, but I thought I should bring this user to the staff's attention: https://metalstorm.net/users/album_votes.php?user_id=233359&r_order=year
After a lot of discussion with other staff members including our editor-in-chief, we've come to the conclusion that this isn't rating abuse, although the decision wasn't unanimous. This user just seems to be pretty harsh in judging albums and hating most metal in general. One factor taken into account is that there isn't any tanking trying to affect top lists which usually is the main reason among our users when giving low scores. Ultimately, users still have the right to rate music they don't like and therefore no action will be taken.

A similar situation here. Only likes a handful of bands
https://metalstorm.net/users/album_votes.php?user_id=336884
This user on the other hand was trying to affect the top lists and got warned and had the ratings deleted.

Here's a fresh one pretty obvious abuse really
https://metalstorm.net/users/album_votes.php?user_id=216373
This user was a small fry which I usually don't bother with. But I agree with you that it was very obvious because the user has been a member for 4 years and hadn't rated a single album until boosting three albums with 10s and tanking one with a 1 on this year's Top 20. So I gave a warning and deleted the ratings.

kalenike seems to live in a parallel universe where every Iron Maiden album is a straight 10, but Rust In Peace, Blackwater Park and Painkiller are utter shite.

Also double accounts. Same three albums tanked with 1s on both and Maiden and Moonsorrow given straight 10s so obviously the same user. Will ban both.

Created two new accounts and continued with the rating abuse so I banned the IP instead.

How about this guy who pretty much never rates lower than a 6 except for Moonlight Sorcery which he gives a 3 and Sworn who he gives 1, when according to his own list he thinks these albums are a 6 and 7 respectively. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that these album are barely below Ne Obliviscaris and just above Cattle Decapitation, which are both in his top 3 for the year. Not saying he should be banned or have all ratings removed, but maybe remove these false ratings which he himself doesn’t even agree with.
