Weighted Average for our film dropped us to 5.7 for no reason
Hello IMDB community.
This is our feature film Blossoms to Blossoms.
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22529250/
Recently we were uploaded on the biggest streaming platform in Greece and started receiving ratings. We had a pretty good rating going on up until IMDB decided to switch to a weighted rating for our film and we dropped to 5.7. Is there anything we can do about this? I know this is an indie film and we don't have a whole team promoting the film all around nor do we have the New York times writing a review about us, but the low rating definitely feels unfair since most people rate the film very highly. You can also check on Letterboxd, we're doing very well.
Thank you

Hello @giorgosathanasiou,
Our voting system already detects and defeats attempts to stuff the ballot and skew the rating, as demonstrated by the difference between the weighted average and the arithmetic mean on the vast majority of titles in the database.
Our voting system is continually improved in this respect so you can rest assured that abuse is always automatically detected and thwarted.
