Hi gambitt-

Thank you for reporting the ratings on the titles from this name page. I have filed a ticket to the appropriate team for revision and further investigation. 

Cheers!

Someone mentioned this on reddit a few days back and upon further inspection, its obvious he is trying to manipulate the ratings of his movies either by paying off bots or some other means, examples are

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4884540/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1725047/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1467058/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4465156/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3655326/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3120430/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754730/ratings

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1788979/ratings

I know IMDb's  'weighted average' prevents the system from accepting these 'vote stacking' but the system doesn't actually discard them either creating a false appearance for the title and to make matters worst, i seriously doubt any of these people doing this are ever taken to task (especially if the people doing it are registered IMDB resume/paying members)

Just pointing out one of the examples, not sure how many like these are on IMDb.. (1000's maybe)

Hi gambitt & all-

Thank you for reporting the ratings on these titles for this name page! I have an update from the ticket that was filed and most of these titles have been handled already but can confirm that a major clean up is still in progress as it involves many other titles. 

These issues are periodically detected and taken care of by our vote remediation system.

Thanks again for reporting!

Cheers!
