"Offsetting" or "mitigating" other peoples reviews.

This seems to be a common occurance in reviews here. People disagree that other people rate a game too highly or too low, so they intentionally give higher or lower rating in order to push the average closer to what they think would be correct rating. Is this against the review rules? I couldnt find anything regarding it, it should be anyways.

Pisses me off so much for some reason. Probably because theres the general obnoxious feeling of superiority where the guy giving a review somehow thinks his review or his opinion is worth more than others and its his responsibility to fix the rating to what he thinks it should be.

You can report it for review manipulation. I also thinks it's beyond stupid to just rate it higher than you actually feel it is because someone rated it low. Even more braindead is that people admit it while writing the review

It’s easy to find such reviews, conglomerates of “muh potential” or subjective adjectives that end up nowhere.
The Report button is your friend in that case, but here the review system is a rabbit hole
