When will IMDB do something about these fake reviews?

This film currently has 2 reviews, both of which rave about the film. Both reviewers have only reviewed this film and one has only been a member for 3 days. The other reviewer has only been a member for 6 months. Maybe if a policy of having to be an IMDB member for 5 years before being able to post a review might stop this rave review spamming?
Always check to see how long a reviewer has been a member and how many films they have reviewed before taking any notice of any review. It's time the spammers were stopped. Until then, trust Rotten Tomatoes as it's a far better indicator of the quality of a film.

Thanks for that mate! I was thinking those seemed fishy just by the overpraise alone!

Fake reviews are not a problem, infact they can be used as a positive indication the film is a steamy hot pile of *beep*
Also the time of membership is no guarantee against shills, for instance this one www.imdb.com/title/tt1670916/reviews?ref_=tt_urv has been a member for 10 years.
Doesn't let imdb off the hook but you can with relative ease weed out the little brown nuggets.

Its not fake. Anyone can sign up and write a review. It is just their oppimion. Not everybody hates this film. Some poeple love it some hate it everybody is not the same. If we all thaught the same it would be very boring!!!
