deleted poster

a couple years ago i've asked what's the highest priority for the primary image and was told that a paper poster take priority over everything

https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/image-guidelines/G27LPBQZA7EAZGJW#

Image Quality

IMDb permits users to post the following:

  • Acceptable quality scans of old physical media with fold marks, dog-eared corners, creases, fading, light stains or poor printing artefacts such as low DPI (dots per inch).
  • Acceptable quality copies of poor quality digital source media. For example, if the film was originally mastered in poor digital quality, in a low bitrate or highly compressed, but the copy at hand isn't significantly further degraded.

We do not allow scans or copies with the following:

  • Noticeable pixilation or noise
  • Bars or framing around the outside of the image
  • Stretched aspect ratio
  • Observable moiré effect

i've spent a lot of time and have found a paper poster for a title

no pixelation no bars not stretched, yes fold marks

so these fanart uploaders switched it several times for a digital art without folding marks and with copyrights removed. i returned the real poster back, so they just went and deleted the real paper poster. when i asked why a real poster was deleted i was relayed their reasoning instead of an answer of someone who actually looked at the pictures. the real poster has no pixelation not stretched and has no bars. per the imdb guides which were linked to me the real hi res poster is not an image of poor quality just because of the light folding marks
