Koe No Katachi Fans Manipulating Votes

Average ratings in the top 250 are pretty similar month by month.

In the last month i've seen the the movies in the positions from 231 to 250 getting some huge downvoting issues.

Every movie have seen its average rating dropping consistently confronted with other months.

All but one: A SILENT VOICE: THE MOVIE it's the only movie in the list that has its average vote going better.

It looks like movies like this or Neon Genesis or Perfect Blue have the same Indian's audience issues. The only vote admitted is 10 and i think those Anime fans are ruining the list because they're downvoting some great films that are going to be out of the list pretty soon like it happened with other classics.

(btw i gave 10 to your name. so i'm not against anime movies but i'm against those upvoting events with clearly average movies)

Hi honolulu_styles -

Apologies for the delayed response.

Our voting system already detects and defeats attempts to stuff the ballot and skew the rating, as demonstrated by the difference between the weighted average and the arithmetic mean on the vast majority of titles in the database.

Additionally, know that our voting system has several safeguards in place and that this type of behavior is periodically detected and automatically defeated.

For more information I encourage you to review our Ratings FAQ.

Cheers!

@Michelle thank you for your answer but today ANOTHER anime movies flooded the chart. It's becoming an Anime / Indian / Turkish list. One or maybe two western world mainstream movies enter the chart each year while 80% of new entries comes from that 3 countries..a bit too much.. Fans of that kind of movies use a total different way to rate movies (Exist only 10 or 1). The latest new entry (Kimetsu no Yaiba) is like all the other "new" movies entered this year 8.8 avg rating with 85% of votes between 8 and 10. IMDB gotta do something to preserve variety in the top 250 list.

@honolulu_styles You state "It's becoming an Anime / Indian / Turkish list." Currently, out of the 250 films listed, 9 are Indian and 2 are Turkish. And one of these Indian films seems to be dropping out of the list in a matter of weeks: https://250.took.nl/title/tt12361178

@Marco since they're all average movies none of them deserves to be on the list. By the way what about Anime? 10 movies!! 2 of them are a longest episode of a whole tv series: Demon Slayer just entered and Neon Genesis... lol

I mean I love non US movies... i miss Portrait of Jeunne Filles en Feu, Contratiempo, Le Samourai, Spring Summer Fall Winter, Infernal Affairs, Le Notti di Cabiria. I would love to see For Sama on the list. I would love to see more quality than a fan based list with fan voting all his country's movies 10
