The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
One easy fix would be to eliminate all 1 star ratings from all shows. I mean seriously - there has never been a 1 star show. Even the worst shows have at least something redeeming about them. Has anyone here actually ever had a BAD time at a show? Some obviously aren't as good as others, but as someone who went to what were rated two of the worst shows in recent history (Grand Prairie 2016), they were still far better evenings than anything else I could have been doing. The only possible reason anyone would ever rate anything 1 star is to try to lower that show's rating.
Beyond that, I think @betweentheears' 2nd and 3rd suggestions are definitely the way to go. Only real accounts, one rating per user, and everyone's ratings posted on their profile pages.
