Is reputation defined by contribution points or likes you get on your reviews?

I hope it's not about likes, because that would be ridiculous. I think it should be about how many reviews did a person wrote.

The number of reviews is also meaningless, seeing how number of reviews says nothing about the quality of said reviews...

That's true, but it's pretty easy to do a research if the so called "Reviewer" actually deserve the title. Likes only show that how many people read the first couple of reviews, and they have the same opinion. It's not reliable at all.

I think if there are criteria, like how long and detailed the review is, and a person has more than 10 reviews for example, they can get an official title. This way, trolls can't affect the average rating of the reviews.

but even that can be problematic, because not all good reviews are long and detailed. Personally I like to read the short and to the point ones the most, even if I prefer writing longer ones. I think whatever the criteria will be, it has to take into consideration more than one thing.

Also... 10 reviews is for sure way too low of a number. It should not be a number that is easy to achieve in an hour in one sitting, coz then the whole criteria is easy to pass and becomes useless.

Sure, but just like anything on MDL, this can be reviewed by Admins as well. I mean, we can't upload any poster, only if the Mods accept it, so the same can be done for the reviews as well. Of course, everything has a loophole, but we can report anything, even reviews if it's not an actual review, so this can be done properly. It just takes time and effort from everyone.

I can tell you we don't have resources to process every reviews

I do understand that it's quite impossible to check each reviews (I have seen 1 drama got 300+ reviews in one day).

I will like to make some suggestions:
1. the user must be a verified user to leave a review

2. there should be a time limit after creating an account before the user can leave a review (I have seen account created and left 5+ reviews the same day the account was created, of course that account will review and rate 1 drama (10) and the others will get a bad review and rating)

3. Give users the option to report these accounts. right now we can only report  a review or a comment of the user. but many times the review or comment doesn't infringe MDL rules so its absurd to report the review or comment.

3. There should be only 1 rating system. The 1 on the review and the watchlist rating should be the same.
