IMDb weighted rating: 7.0 (8.9 arithmetic)

[xdia1 0]

While MLP:FiM is far from being a best TV show ever, the IMDb weighted rating system is bogus in my opinion. This show was like 8.9 before, now it's 7.0, but it's not because of trolls who voted this as a 1. It's the weighted average system that, in fact, the more people voted this as a 10, the lower rating this show will get.

The arithmetic mean of this show is still 8.9, which seems like the actual average to me, but the weighted system makes this show only 7.0.  Too many IMDb users voting this show as a 10 are some of the reasons why the MLP: FiM weighted rating is only 7.0.  1.9 less points than the arithmetic mean of this show.
