Topic: Change in IMDb Ratings System to fight review bombing
I came across an interesting news article about IMDb's response to a trend they refer to as "review bombing". I believe most of us were aware this was happening (in some way, shape, or form), though I didn't come up with any effective resolutions that could be applied. I specifically recall the year that there was a concerted campaign to sabotage the ratings for The 100, season 7 maybe..

What do you think of this practice and how IMDb plans to handle it?
Most rating systems are undoubtedly imperfect, but I'm pleased to see that IMDb recognizes the issue and is apparently taking action.
Do you think these alternate weighting calculations will be effective (make a difference) or do you perhaps feel no changes are even necessary?

Looking forward to some feedback.
