I have noticed that the IMDb voting count seems to be frozen.

There seems to be a discrepancy in the ratings for the title "Milk, Rice and the Blood." Could you please explain why it differs significantly from the unweighted mean, and why the voting count appears to be stagnant? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36158827/?ref_=ttrt_ov_bk

Hi Saurabh555- 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 FAQs here: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/ratings-faq/G67Y87TFYYP6TWAV Cheers!

As the director of this film, I urge you to take the necessary action to address the inflated ratings. If action cannot be taken, I request the removal of those ratings, as they convey a misleading message to potential viewers.
