Bot/Suspicious rating activity from Indonesia

It looks like there is bot or suspicious activity coming from Indonesia. A large amount of 1 ratings are coming in. It appears mostly to be impacting Korean shows with 1’s pouring in daily per show.

The screenshots are for a few of the shows impacted to highlight this and have become that way over about a week, spiking at varied rates.

The following titles (I am sure there are more) also seem to have had 1’s spammed daily for about a week with the rate of activity varying with around 5-10 1’s hitting per show daily (all from Indonesia).

Hi mcclishs37797-

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended. 

For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.

Cheers!
