More jam functions for jam admnis against spammers

It has been difficult to manage game jams over the years because there are not many tools available for administrators to deal with certain problems, especially rating abuse.

For example, when someone starts a jam, moderators can already inspect their public messages through the participant page to check whether they are breaking the rules or behaving inappropriately. However, there is currently no way to review a participant’s voting behavior.

It would be very helpful if the administration page displayed statistics about each participant’s ratings. Ideally, moderators could see the average score a participant gives across all games, or even the distribution of their ratings.

This would make it much easier to identify users who are repeatedly giving 1-star ratings to a large number of games in an attempt to manipulate the rankings or unfairly hurt other participants.

To avoid privacy concerns, it would not be necessary to show every individual rating a participant gives. Simply displaying aggregate statistics, such as their average rating or rating distribution, would already help moderators detect suspicious voting patterns while still respecting user privacy.

A feature like this would make it much easier for jam administrators to identify rating abuse and take appropriate action against users who are clearly attempting to spam or manipulate the voting system.
