Review Bombing
Dear IMDb
As a long time user of this site, it seems that this site has no protection against review bombing and as such it's ratings are very unreliable. The users simply rate episodes 2/10 instead of 1/10 to avoid rating protection
Some recent victims of these are Attack on Titan and One Piece episodes
Some groups on discord with thousands of users decided to review bomb both shows overnight and it is working massively
An Attack on Titan episode which was 9.9/10 for the past 3 years has been review bombed to 9.8/10 in just one night. From being in top 3 episodes of all time on IMDB to being out of the top 20:

The latest episode of Attack on Titan which was also 9.7/10 has been bombed to 9.6 in just one night
https://m.imdb.com/title/tt21357640/?ref_=m_ttep_ep_ep29
The users are on Twitter and discord bragging about how they've figured out how to review bomb the shows by rating it 2/10 instead of 1/10...
Some users have created over 300 accounts to get the ratings of all episodes below 9/10
But it's a shame that the rating protection on this site has not been improved to protect ratings against bots and new accounts

I don't know who is more petty and bored; the rating bombers who boast about getting an episode down from 9.9 to 9.8; or the fanboys who complain about it. 😂
