last samurai standing Review Bombed

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32237534/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rat Two days before the show was released, Last Samurai Standing had 1.5k reviews which were all at 6/10 (without a written review). The average was 6.1, because almost all of the reviews were at 6/10. The number of 6/10 reviews went up to 1.7k reviews a few hours after the show came out (all without any written comments). It's very strange, considering reviews have been high from user reviews and official publications. Can the obvious "review bombing" bot reviews be removed? I wanted to recommend this show but people have been put off by the low IMBD score and are not giving it a chance, which isn't fair to the show. I'm not sure why this title was targeted for negative review bombing.

Hello Bsneider Hi! 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 here: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/track-movies-tv/ratings-faq/G67Y87TFYYP6TWAV

I don't think it's working then, as the majority of the reviews are 6, and the score would be alot higher if you removed the ratings from BEFORE the show was released. Even now, around 50% of the ratings were from before the show came out. I don't see why scores from before the show's official release aren't taken out. Only the first 2 episodes were in a pre-screening, and both of those episodes have a much higher average score.

Well, you have a voting system who had a lag. Here it's not normal that there was a lot of vote before the show was even released and almost only on 6. We have a clear review bombing by bots even before the show is released and you all are doing nothing about it. I saw the exact same thing about the review bombing before the release of the show. If it was a fair rating shared by most people it would have been growing a lot more after the release of the show and there would have been far less votes but it's not the case. How are we supposed to trust IMDB ratings when you let obvious things like that happen. IMDB should just look into this case and admit that there is an error

Hello, A netflix show was released recently named Last Samurai Standing. I got on the page 1 day BEFORE the release of the show because I wanted to know more about it and I was really surprised and disappointed that the votes were already open (how is it even possible when a show isn't released yet ?) and there were massive bot votes. One day before release there were already 1.7k votes only on 6 stars and almost none on the other ones. There was around 130 on 10 stars, 20 or 30 on 1 star and 1.7k on 6 stars and that's all. I talked about it on my review of the show but it was never posted. I'm disappointed that IMDB accept such things since I've been using this site as a reference for a long time and it's in this case tanking a lot the rating of this show. And it can happen to other shows too, it's not only a question of movie or tv show ratings, it can push people to not watch a show really appreciated by audiences and by that putting in danger the careers of some people working on it because of not enough audiences. I hope this will be fixed.
