Do cheated scrobbles count?

With an account such as this one http://www.last.fm/user/fuckingout where someone has amassed 21,000 plays of one artist in less than a month and any given view of their page shows 20x plays of the same track in less than 4 minutes, do these 'scrobbles' count toward the charts? I'm assuming not, but how are they discarded? What's the process?

Sometimes I'll legitimately play a new song 10 or so times a day, I wonder where the line is drawn.

There's probably a limit of 'impossible' scrobbles per day beyond which they are discarded, i.e. 30 seconds at 60 sec/min * 60 min/h * 24 h/day = 2880 scrobbles per day.
Also there's probably a hardcoded limit of 1,000,000 scrobbles ever per user.
And by the way, it is said that lastfm doesn't like you mentioning user names like that...

Charts on artist pages are based on the number of listeners, not the number of plays. So even a user submitting the same track every 30 seconds would only count as '1'.

It's possible that they also have some 'anti-spam' measures which ignore those users, but even if they are counted they don't make a whole lot of difference.

Oh, so the weekly top tracks chart is made up of unique listeners rather than individual scrobbles?

If so, I was hoping there would be programming in place to approximate this. Somedays I will genuinely play a track up to 8 times across 24 hours and always assumed this would count toward weekly plays on artist's charts (and cheated scrobbles aforementioned would be recognised and counted only on that user's page).

Well, there are exceptions to that. I'm not sure if there are spam filters on those or not.

This might help explain, though it's about another topic.

Did I hear that right? Mondegreens - for the misheard word.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

From what I've seen, bugs, glitches or installing multiple plugins can cause multiple scrobbles of the same track to appear with identical timestamps. I guess someone could try scrobbling a 31s track from multiple computers at once and see what happens.
