Fake ratings
Hi,
this short film https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt38721437/?ref_=nm_filmo_pastfilmvid_1
got ten 1-star votes from Mexico in a short period of time (probably the same day) even though it wasn't even released in Mexico.AI is not needed to understand it is clearly a malevolent action by someone.It is very disappointing that IMDB doesn't have a way of detecting this kind of clearly malevolent operations that undermine the realiability of the platform and damage the professionals.Best regards,
G.

Hi GiorgioG-
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended.
For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.
Cheers!
