It was meant as a way to filter the noise that is the inflation on rating. IMDB.com which is probably one of the biggest rating communities in the world have this "Top 1000 Voters" concept, where their votes are separate in the statistics. The pattern, beyond statistical interference, shows that the top raters are also the toughest raters, rating lower than any other segment of raters in the community. I see no reason why this should not be the case here, and with this icon award the visitor could rest more assured that the listed rating does in fact reflect the content of the movie.

I am just writing a quick response here to let you know I have not forgotten about this, we have just been busy with a few other issues.
All voters have a rating weight assigned to them already.
Newbie voters have little impact on the score.
For example
http://www.warcraftmovies.com/pv.php?l=Dw%E2rv has 100 (max)
while
http://www.warcraftmovies.com/pv.php?l=Abyzz has 61.
In short we have a lot of systems that makes sure that random voters impact on the outcome of the score is minimized, even though there are a lot of "spam" it does not count as much in the end.
I like the suggestion about having the top 100 (or something) voters have their own "award" each week. I will crunch the numbers and see how much it differs from the "general" opinion and present it here next week.
I will respond to the other suggestions after the weekend.
