Censoring of reviews

The problem is they never tell you what has caused that censoring. I've completed many hundreds of reviews now and it feels like there's a 'safe zone' where you can express your opinion as long as you don't step on certain toes. You're left to guess at what it might be and in my case it is often casting, even though this is a hugely important part of the success or failure of a film. But I actually don't know because they refuse to tell you what you 'did wrong' to be censored.

And yet you seem to have a good opinion on what you "did wrong" but are unwilling to share it. So I'm guessing you probably write some truly vile stuff.

And you're the one who's refusing to share what they said about the casting in Snow White despite multiple people asking you, while brandishing the "keep your politics outta ma IMDB" flag, leaving people to guess and extrapolate the kinds of things you might have typed.

Yeah but your guidelines are so wide ranging that we never know which one we hit. The only way of working it out is submit many reviews on the same film til one hits the sweet spot. Why are you so secretive about what is or is not acceptable? Also, you don't reject or delete them, you simply leave them as 'pending' for days on end until the author realises something is wrong and is forced to make multiple rewrites to try and work out what it is that hurt your feelings.

Yes I know how to view my status, that's the only way I can find out whether a review has been accepted, and whether it is still pending. I rewrote the review I left for Snow White and...both are still pending lol I'm guessing IMDB are playing politics here.

That would serve no purpose. There'd be a flame war over opinions and it would get ugly, and I still would not know why my review is 'pending'.

I'm just curious... and maybe members here could at least give their view as to why, if they've had a similar experience?

I would rather IMDB simply say to me "this is what we don't like" then I can fix it.
