5 times a review is rejected, and I still don't know why?!
In 2010, I posted a review about The Hunt for Red October (1990), and the IMDb approved it. Then, suddenly, after 15 years, while my try to grammatically modify it, the site simply deleted it!
The reason is applying new guidelines to older reviews retroactively, and - worse - the declared reason from your side is having "Personal opinions or speculation on real life events or subject matter on which a film is based"?!!!!
Since when is a personal opinion rejected from a film review, or any review for that matter?! And how come I'm forbidden from saying my opinion on any film's subject matter?!!
So - for instance - when a film promotes drug abuse in a way, and I refuse that, along with drug abuse itself--the site forbids that now?!!!
This is new, and dangerous, stuff for me. And it will make me think million times before writing anything on IMDb again!
As for my unfortunate review, I really can't understand what's wrong with it after all of these years (and 5 attempts of modification already)? Where is such crime that it did? To add more fuel, nobody has anything to say but this enigmatic, rather dull, line: "Personal opinions or speculation on real life events or subject matter on which a film is based"?!!!!
To solve this, please tell me the specific lines that need - from the site's pointview - to be modified, because this is getting too far; and I'm talking about that review's problem, and the site's actions as well!
Btw, this is the fifth rejected version of my review to read and examine:
