It's plain as daylight. I'm reading about the issues here, and have read about the issues on IMDb for ten years. In the late 90s to mid 2000s, Top 1000 was a good thing.
But it isn't anymore. IMDb is like Metallica; they're too big for their own good. It's too easy to be a Top 1000, all you have to do is choose a TV show, select episodes by ratings in the quick links (or something similar), and bam bam bam, just fire off votes at about 100 a day. If you have no life, you'll be Top 1000 in no time. (Of course, the lowest possible votes to reach #1000 probably rises by a hundred a day.)
I have no doubt IMDb knows who these users are. With IMDb keeping track of not only what you vote on but *when* you vote on it, I think anyone with a voting average of five votes within 10 seconds, especially repeated a dozen times, is a an attempt at achieving or remaining as IMDb Top 1000.
