the abuse is that all he leaves is 5 stars or nothing at all. Their needs to be a diversity there.
The rating system is highly subjective and is scrutinized way more by the community then it should be, so we try our best to come in and provide a concept to keep it under control without abuse. The way we handle it is that if a user rates poorly everyone they play against or lose against and that's it then their abusing the way the system was meant to be used. Same goes on for the latter side, if a user rates only highly for users they play against and that's it then their also misusing the intentions of the system.
Its meant to be used as a fair accurate measure of another user that you can obtain from looking at other peoples interactions with them.
As per this user everyone he has chose to rate has been either 5 star worthy of the category of which he rated or not worthy of mentioning at all.
After page 3 or 4 of his ratings you will see he rated in every category not just Fairplay and they were all 5's as well.
