Please find a way to identify BOT comments

Very short post to highlight a problem I encountered recently related to House of Dragons. I was so puzzled by the ratings of the show here compared to my own feelings (whereas normally I trust IMDb rates blindly and am never disappointed). But I saw notably in the comments of episodes 5 that several users highlighted that lots of 10 comments have been posted just after the launch of the episodes. Meaning that people or BOT (it cannot be only fans when you read what is written and the consistent volume episode after episode) are paid/used to artificially increase the rates. If this is actually the case, I think this is very detrimental to the IMDb website (like very very) and it's credibility. You should rely apply safeties to prevent such behaviors (we will always have fans rating a how 10 even if it is actually poor quality but this is representative of how the world works and this should be taken into account in the rate. But this is not really the case for BOT or paid rates...). IMDb rates matter nowadays, you should have security on these rates enforced accordingly
