So this is the path IMDB's going with AOT , isn't it ??

After a week of simultaneous reports on AOT getting vote bombed on both top rated episodes and show's main rating , it appears that IMDB , despite all the evidences ( Discord servers , multiple screenshots and the tweets of several people forming group for such actions ) , will not take any sort of action and has made it clear that this show has not been review bombed. Official solutions given by staff can be seen on this topic. https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/ratings-attack-on-titan-one-piece-bleach/64f53cb635e0d576dc4a780c?page=1

So first of all , they basically addressed everyone to their FAQ page and this is the one :

"Our voting system is meant to offer a representation of what IMDb's users think of a movie or show based on their votes. We don't collect or consider published reviews or critics' ratings or any other external factor.For the purpose of generating the IMDb rating, only votes cast by IMDb users are counted. If a film is rated lower than you'd expect based on published reviews, it means that in that particular case, IMDb users had a different opinion than that movie critics "

Yeah I don't even see the need of explaining how this isn't useful at all

But this :

"The rating for these titles are correct, based on the same weighing system used to calculate the aggregate rating for every title on IMDb -- there is no bias in how it is applied and it already reflects all applicable changes to detect and mitigate attempts to stuff the ballot.

As mentioned by staff earlier, we will not be taking additional action or comment further."

"there is no bias in how it is applied" yeah sure

"we will not be taking additional action or comment further" I mean i'm not surprised at all . Who didn't expect such thing though?  Bleach and One piece votes get fixed within seconds and then there is AOT.

It just gets better when you think how they would have reacted if AOT community had done such thing in order to increase the ratings. With all this being said , it appears that nothing useful is getting out of this reports.
