Review bombing on Breaking Bad and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms alike.
Apparently Breaking Bad fans have been "review bombing" AKOTSK episodes, and AKOTSK have been review bombing BB episodes alike. Below are some reviews of Ozymandias, now a 9.9 instead of a 10, clearly due to review bombing. I would also like to note that some of the reviews that are supposably from

Reported reviews
As someone who contributes to IMDB frequently, I have noticed many reviews that seem either painfully short (giving that IMDB has a character limit before posting is allowed) or offer hateful tirades about the star or director of any given film or TV show. Also, often times reviews are absolutely ri

Avoid Images Used in Polls to be Deleted
One of the problems faced in the IMDb polls is when an image that is used as an option is deleted.
