Does anyone read submissions before accepting them?

There are thousands of submissions that are obvious gibberish, but have still been accepted. Does anyone actually read the submissions, or do you accept everything and only read the reasons for corrections or deletions? Every time I have contacted you about the nonsense you've accepted, I've been asked to keep editing, then keep rejecting the edits. So how do you expect me to provide evidence of a film or episode's plot if telling you what actually happened isn't enough?

Hi StayWilde- In order for our staff to further help, can you post the 18-digit submission reference numbers for some of these corrections updates you have contributed? Cheers!

No. You don't need reference numbers to answer the question. Either submissions are read before being accepted, or they aren't.
