Review downvote spamming

Hi,

Just to say that my reviews have just been spammed with non helpfuls in a matter of seconds for the first time since late last year. With all but one of my reviews since Saturday (fifteen overall) being down voted, including the four written only 7 or so hours ago. Many of which for non recent titles with no other review for each title affected. This was a major problem for me between 2018-2022, in the exact same way, and for many other prolific reviewers (especially planktonrules who is still having it bad), and was eventually dealt with late last year by the excessive downvotes being removed, but it looks as though the issue might be starting again. Can the non helpfuls please be removed, as it caused a lot of anxiety when it was happening frequently. Thank you. Bethany

Hi @bethany -

Do you have the link to the original post when Michelle helped you out with this so I can confirm it was indeed solved and inform the team it can be happening again.

Thanks!

@Bethanny​ Hi Bethanny, thank you for replying. 

‎Can something please be done about the targeted harrassment of prolific reviewers? | IMDb Community Forums (sprinklr.com)

It actually in the post says In Progress, but I just assumed that the issue had been solved, seeing that the suspicious downvotes had disappeared and that it has not been a problem for months.

Here is another thread from my other account that I made when having password issues for this account. In case you're wondering why so many comments, there may have been thread merging;
