The Chaos Class. Better than The Godfather.

Of course I'm joking. The Chaos Class is an obscure (at least for the rest of the world) turkish movie that is getting close to 25 000 votes with an absurd average rating of 9.5 (!). Of course there's hackers working here. Some days ago, this movie (released in 1975) was receiving around 200 votes a day. I've alerted IMDb and this flood of votes stopped. But that is a proof that there is something wrong. I think IMDb should preserve it's credibility by investigating hackers work on The Chaos Class and other turkish movies of the period. Otherwise, when someone tries to find which movie with more than 25 000 votes is the best of all time, it won't be The Godfather neither The Shawshank Redemption, but The Chaos Class. As an admirer of your ratings method I ask again: please IMDb, solve the turkish movies/hackers problem. Thanks and sorry for my english.

I agree...just wanted to add...your English is better than a huge number of US English-speakers, by far.  Nothing to worry about there! :)

Hi Angelo -

The rating displayed on a title is a weighted average, and our voting system has several built-in safeguards against attempts to influence the rating via automated voting; other than applying those safeguards, it is our policy not to delete or modify ratings, or otherwise prevent our users from freely expressing their opinion of a film via their vote.

If you disagree with the aggregate rating displayed for a film, we suggest you to add your voice to the conversation and cast your own vote or encourage fans of the film to do the same.
