IMDB, please save your reputation: stop the user rating sabotage

The deliberate, politically motivated sabotage of movies like The Last Jedi & Black Panther is blindingly obvious to all. The trolls even claim credit for their actions, and the IMDB user ratings do not line up with any other gauge of these movies' overall success & public receptions. IMDB,

There needs to be a "report this review" option for racist and offensive reviews.

I'm sorry but this website needs more regulation for offensive reviews.

Blacklist spam review sites?

I've noticed that for almost every popular, new movie, under "Critic/External Reviews", a few spam sites keep posting links to their illegal reposts of professional, copyrighted reviews, possibly as clickbait. For example, I've since deleted: Brights Hub [Ella Smith] --> Collider (not even a

Reviews: Any Way To Keep Capitalization From Happening After A Period?

This is sort of trivial, but grammar mistakes bother me . . . when writing reviews, is there any way to keep capitalization from happening after a period?
