Review Bomb

I've been noticing that Naruto Shippuden is being bombarded by negative reviews of 2 stars coming from Saudi Arabia and so every day the number of 2 stars is increasing, everything coming from Saudi Arabia, I would like you to resolve this, so that if it continues it will only serve of motivation for them continued until the work fell in position and grade

They need to check and confirm if those 2 stars are from real people and not Bots. Any and all reviews from Bots need to be deleted.

Hi @UchihaMadara69 -

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.    

                                                                                   
We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended. 

For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.

Hi @UchihaMadara69 -

Just following up, we have reviewed this title and can confirm the weighted rating is displaying as intended.  As mentioned earlier, we have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat vote manipulation. When unusual voting activity is detected, a different weighting calculation may be applied in order to preserve the reliability of our system. To ensure our rating mechanism remains effective, we don't disclose the exact method used to generate the rating. 

As always, you can find more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages on our Ratings FAQ.
