Disable reviews

Don’t believe this is the case. Hugely popular movies from 2022 have none of these spam reviews. Three examples, Top Gun: Maverick, Elvis and Jurassic World Dominion. I think its just slower now propagating them to plex.

@nibbles I was wondering when someone would mention that. I purposely omitted that from this thread as I don’t want plex realising they have a bug and then go and fix it :innocent:

I thought the same thing and tried to type the answer with the least amount of words so people wouldn’t notice. Then I left out the r word

it’s so dumb My being a goober is so dumb :slight_smile:

“Apache Junction” newer than Jurassic World still has spam in it, just as example.
But also its true that JW has a lot of spam onto the rotten site but acutally not in PLEX.

If there is a Bug, they wanna see this by itself if they also use PLEX.
So i don’t think its a big secret not to write about.

Interesting would be if this affects a Country setting or differend Server System that some no more get this spam.

Now added 17 “new” Movies from 1962-2022.
16 got this trash ratings, even some just with 1 review.

Nothing will really change as far as the personal media server is concerned, just read this to understand that plex’s priorities are now very different : Plex now has more streaming users than media server users | TechHive

I was just coming back in here to check after… nearly a year, if there’d been any progress in “adding a small checkbox to turn off the really poor Rotten Tomatoes reviews all over my movies”.

Good stuff. See you in 2024.

Chiming in here to note that this is a trivial addition to the software and it’s ridiculous it doesn’t exist yet. I have no desire to see any reviews from people I do not know on my collection, and even if it was people that I did know that’s dicey.

Can we please get a way to get rid of this ■■■■.

I can only assume at this point that Rotten Tomatoes are paying to have their reviews in Plex? If that’s the case, seriously, I’m willing to pay a one-off fee to get them out of my server.

For sure this will be the case why we get this spam. Probably its a Modell who they get Money for every time that will show up or a user will go over. So they wont be interested in to get a onetime payment from us. Sadly, such companies with a monopoly can abuse their paying custumers just to make more and more money.

Hello Plex, please pay attention to this topic

I wanted to create a ticket for this topic, but as far as I can see there is already one from three years ago and the Plex teams don’t seem to take it into account.
It’s a pity, Plex is accumulating more bad points these last years than good.

I think feature suggestions like this are what I hate most about Plex. Adding a “None” option to review ratings that just straight up doesn’t do anything for populating that area on a screen is stupid simple - like it would take very very little time to code and implement - but here we are 2.5 years later. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, feature suggestions are only implemented if an actual employee wants it - the votes don’t mean anything at all from what I’ve seen.

Plex needs to implement a checkbox for us to decide if we want reviews or don’t. I wish Plex would always side on giving us options, not forcing items on us.

This really needs to happen. I’ve always hated Rotten Tomatoes. I’d love to get rid of them.

I started a separate thread, but am collapsing that to add more to this one.

I want movie summary and poster, but I don’t want random ratings of movies that I like but critics apparently don’t. If it is in my library, I like the movie. And I’d like to be able to not have cast/actor pictures.

Let me customize which elements of the metadata I want displayed.

So my first post on this was April 2022 eh? Guys - this is not a difficult request to implement, c’mon?

I’m about a gnat’s whisker from tearing up my lifetime pass and just opting for Jellyfin.

First and possibly last post.

Dear Plex,
Please allow us the simple freedom to choose what new features we would like to use. I do not understand why you would think that handcuffing customers to features that they do not like and do not want to use is a quality associated with good customer service.

edit: apparently this is my second post, so ignore the dramatic preamble.
