Review bombing of program prior to original airing

The SpongeBob episode "Delivery to Monster Island; Ride Patrick Ride" has been at a 3.3/10 stars for a while, and it appears up to 14 people have rated it 1/10 stars, which is unreasonable as it only just aired, leaving me to assume some kind of botting or bombing has occured. Only 3 ratings have are not 1/10, and those appear to be normal activity. Would someone be able to investigate this and perhaps reset the ratings? The program first aired on April 7th.

Hello @ansifraserrr 

We take measures ensuring the rating for a title accurately represents public opinion. As such, we sincerely appreciate you taking the time to reach out!

Please note an update has improved the ratings algorithm to better reflect true public opinion and prevent spam.


Our voting system is constantly being improved and the formulas used to calculate the ratings and charts are tweaked regularly in order to improve our ability to detect and defeat ballot stuffing and other attempts to influence the results.

Weighted ratings are frequently recalculated, so when the formula is changed, the ratings may also change even without the addition of many votes.

The changes you are seeing are normal and result from this periodic fine tuning of the weighing mechanism.

For more information, please check our help page.
