I absolutely reject that I have made any comments of such sort.

• Expressions of hatred or intolerance for people on the basis of race, ethnicity, nationality, gender or gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, age, or disability, including by promoting organizations with such views.

Where? Please copy them from my review into this discussion so they are there for people to see this apparent hatred or intolerance. In fact, I know you won't do that so I'll do it myself.

Assuming it's one of these two comments which is classed as "hatred", which is it?

"It appears to have been written in the universe where the baddy has targeted script writers, removing all power to write an entertaining superhero movie."

"There are so many scenes just talking about feelings, and the characters are like a diversity and inclusion policy come to life." 

Nobody at IMDB knows which race, ethnicity, nationality, gender or gender identity, religion, sexual orientation I am or if I have any disabilities so I'd love to know who you think I'm targeting.

I've now submitted this review for a third time. 230609-000012-339504

I honestly think this policy is designed to keep bad film reviews away to inflate the numbers. I'm assuming it's related to advertising revenues and corporate tie-ins that IMDB have with the movie industry. I noticed a privacy setting recently that I never chose which was to hide my review score unless I post a review. I'm sure that's to stop the same deflation of scores by people wanting to give a quick score but no review. And finally the requirement for at least 600 characters in the review, when you know that most people who dislike a film aren't willing or able to commit that much effort to a film they dislike.

It's a real shame. I honestly don't trust the scores on IMDB at all, but occasionally want to give my review of something that I thought was really good or really bad. The site still has it's uses, just don't trust the scores!
