GTA 5 has so many ten star troll reviews, however they don't break the community rules. How are people supposed to report them?

Hi 

GTA 5 has so many ten star troll reviews. They don't break the community rules because they don't include profanity or anything else that breaks the rules. The question is how are we supposed to report these ten star troll reviews that are fake looking if they don't violate the rules? 

The problem is much bigger since it's not just video games that has such ten star reviews. Movies and TV shows also have these ten star reviews. 

So how are we supposed to report these to IMDb if we know they're ten star troll reviews written by people who are trying to inflate the ratings despite they don't break the community rules?

Hi AzminandRowdy-

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

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. For additional information about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our FAQ.

If you find any User reviews that appear to be in violation of our guidelines, you can directly report them to us by clicking on the "Report" link, or let our staff know if you see patters of same/similar review text within them.

Cheers!

Hello @Maya 

Has the GTA ten star reviews been removed? Or do I need to report them manually?

Sorry buddy, I won't click on those links since you're not staff.

@ACT_1 

So you're not staff but you're an actual user? 

That's a relief because I'm kinda skeptical with not staff users.
