Apr 8, 2012 - he post 5 good reviews (5 stars)
Mar 27, 2012 - he post 3 good reviews (5 stars)
and more

in this app 
the same peoples the same time post almost the same reviews 
Jun 5, 2012  - he post 4 good reviews (5 stars)
Apr 17, 2012 - he post 7 good reviews (5 stars)
Apr 8, 2012 - he post 7 good reviews (5 stars)
Mar 27, 2012 - he post 7 good reviews (5 stars)
and more

in this app
the same peoples the same time post almost the same reviews 
Jun 5, 2012  - he post 8 good reviews (5 stars)

I'm sure
that this kind of spamming is a violation of Google Chrome webstore.

I am sure that I don't need to emphasis how much damage this spamming
is causing to our app.

I really don't care that he posts a positive comment on is apps, but I
do care that he spamming my app.

should I do about this?

The Howto of a successful Chrome developer :

1. You have to post the same app 44 times (!!!) using different names & icons and spread it over all categories:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/watchtvmoviesapp.com

2. Then wait for a bad comment from a real user. It won't take long...

3. Then you have to create 4 G+ accounts for everyone who gave you a bad rating, using his name and picture.

4. Then give yourself 5 star ratings for every app, all day long,

5. and 1 star with a bad comment for all concurrent apps.


TADAAAA!!!!

Congratulation!!! You are rewarded now!
Your spam app reached the recommended status and your so called TV app is in the "Productivity" - "Office Applications" category!

Then you get your nemesis to go on the chrome web store app mailing list and spam all the people on there.

We get it, your upset.

In the details tab, when viewing an app, there is a link to report abuse. That is the route you should take.

Thank you for the tips, I didn't knew that!
 I don't spam anything, I'm in an open discussion group here, just like you. I would consider using the unsubscribe link if I don't want to get messages. 

I've done the route you're mentioning more than two months ago, and guess why I'm here?
By the way, it looks like I'm not the only one affected here.
