Rotten Tomatoes Changes Rules on Audience Score Guidelines

Rotten Tomatoes launched in 1998 and was founded as a site by the users and for the users. Fans could come on and score the movies they were seeing to give others an idea of how a movie was being received by audiences. But that system has been sullied in the recent years as internet trolls and losers with nothing better to do than flex their stupid ideas of what should and shouldn’t be doing well have gone on and messed with the algorithms to tank the scores of films that could have otherwise succeeded on their site.

The service has now updated a guideline to a fan entering their input to affect the score. Fans must have a purchased ticket to the movie they are reviewing, then they will be considered verified reviewers. Paul Yanover, the President of Fandango, had this to say about the change:

"We know from our research that fans consult Rotten Tomatoes' Audience Score along with the Tomatometer, when making decisions on what to watch. Having an Audience Score and reviews from fans who are confirmed ticket purchasers, will add even more usefulness to our product and increase consumer confidence."

With Fandango now the owners of Rotten Tomatoes, they will be able to verify your ticket purchase and you will be all set to go make your voice heard. Hopefully this will stop the overload of losers who can’t handle women in their movies, or any other stupid reason they find to screw up movie scores.

Do you think this is a positive change that will help the results of films on Rotten Tomatoes?
