Block votes until a movie/show is actually out

[BrynR (Bryn)]

I firmly believe that it’s ridiculous for movies and shows to be able to receive ratings before they are actually out to the public or even premiere to critics.

Yet to be released titles should be ineligible for score voting.

Just look through the most anticipated list. They all already have a high or low score when some are not coming out for over a year. You could argue that it won’t matter by the time they are actually out and recieve more votes but

1. Smaller movies and shows that get less votes will be impacted forever and can affect if people watch them.
2. It looks bad/sloppy and can also create confusion to users.
3. It devalues the legitimacy of Trakt voting and scores.

REQUEST: Block Trakt score votes until the movie or show is released to the public.

Option to ignore ratings/votes made before the release date

I usually find that most votes on movies or series are fanboys or trolls, even when movies or series that not even released yet there are usually already a dozen of votes. I know that sometimes people can watch something as a premiere or before the release, but that’s not the case for the majority of the votes before the release date. I would like to see an option to filter them out, not asking to be on by default but have the option to get a more “real” rating from people that is most likely …

Thier solution doesn’t work though. I have the setting unchecked on global settings which means these bullshit ratings should be hidden for unreleased movies/shows yet they are not hidden as I’m still seeing them.

Again I get for big shows this isn’t really a problem post release but for smaller titles and many foreign language media it is an issue. Especially because the type of people to vote early are more likely to give a troll 1* rating in my experience.
