Coordinated Rating Manipulation
Hello IMDb Support Team,
I would like to report what appears to be a coordinated campaign to manipulate the IMDb rating of the TV series “Organize İşler: Karun Hazinesi”
A public social media post explicitly calls on users to give the series a 1/10 rating on IMDb and encourages people to continue doing so. The post also celebrates the IMDb rating dropping from 5.7 to 3.9 as a result of the campaign.
In the replies, at least one user explicitly states that they created an account specifically to give the title a 1/10 rating.
I have attached screenshots documenting the public call for coordinated voting and the subsequent responses.
I am not requesting the removal of legitimate negative ratings. I am asking IMDb to investigate whether the title has been subjected to coordinated rating manipulation and to take appropriate action against votes that violate IMDb’s rating integrity policies.
Thank you

Hi birazozgurluk,
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!
