Fake ratings and reviews

@Col_Needham thanks

This is a more professional response than the previous ones.

I contacted IMDb privately before writing here or on NFS and all I got was a link to the FAQ. 

@Col_Needham Long time user since 1997, noticed that the problem with the imdb voting system is, it's really is kinda biased against smaller indies films and int'l films. Seems like while imdb is trying to be "fair" by weeding out trolls and self-promoting ratings, it tends to err consistently on the side of the trolls. I've seen films drop from 7.3 to 5.6 in a matter or 3 votes -- and remain at 5.6 even after 10 more votes. Seems very strange, and unfair to smaller films. The algo isn't perfect, I get that, but there should be a system where smaller producers/directors could appeal or have some way of correcting any errors the algo / weighted system is making. Since it's obvious it can't fully detect BS ratings (on both sides of the spectrum). Someone actually tested this, by voting a 10 on a small film with fewer than 100 votes, and the overall score kept dropping.... which is strange, you'd think it would get weeded out... instead it hurt the overall score! Problem is, with indies maybe someone really liked the film or wanted to support the director or actor and tried to give a high score, only to end up sabotaging the over all score unwittingly. And thus what would normally be a decent score, ends up looking like a crap movie no one wants to give a chance of. Also, with int'l films, sometimes fans of an actor try and flood the votes to support, and conversely, haters also like to go dump on a movie because of an actor/actress, and also end up ruining it -- yet the algo doesn't seem to notice. Maybe the algo can be tweaked to have the threshold of "10,000 votes thing", be dropped to a lower threshold for indie and foreign films?
