Not Helpful problem
I am a very prolific reviewer on IMDB and know that receiving helpfuls and not helpfuls is all a part of this process...and I rarely care or notice if I get either for my reviews. I normally would never complain, but in the last month or two, some odd person has been following me and slapping NOT HELPFULS on every single review within hours or at most a day of it being posted. They also might be using multiple accounts to give me not helpfuls. This happens for all films...even the most obscure silent film or foreign film. I am not sure why...perhaps they REALLY hated one of my other reviews. All I know is that this feels like harassment and I wish there was something that could be done about this.
While it's not going to happen, I wouldn't mind at all if the helpful/not helpful link was removed entirely, as often it seems folks use this only if they agree with a review and not if the review was well written or thought-provoking. In other words, if you love or hate a film they love or hate, you get the helpful.

Yes, that is me. I've had similar things happen several times...but usually after a few days or a week, they give up. But this has been going on for a month or probably more.

Since posting this, it appears the person who is doing this is now using multiple accounts to give NOT HELPFULS to every review. So much for complaining...it only made the problem worse.
