Solved

"Does not meet contribution guidelines" for reviews when it IS a review!

I submitted a review which was declined, yet before I consider giving the 18-digit reference, I get the patronising "Does not meet contribution guidelines. Your contribution has been declined.Please review our submission guidelines"

IT LITERALLY IS A REVIEW! When your bots decline something, STATE WHAT THEY THINK IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH IT!!!!

God, this site is frustrating!!

Spartacus: So you submitted an external review, as opposed to a user review?

No, nothing to do with anything added. Check the REMOVED reviews.

Well you removed a listing where someone's trying to game the website by starting their 'name' with an A, but then you let them continue to make NEW submissions with the same thing. Do you understand what I'm getting at?

Spartacus: I personally will not be able to solve this problem. You will have to wait for the IMDb staff to help you.

That said, I recommend that you re-submit whatever you were trying to submit so you can get an 18-digit submission number to provide to the staff, if you don't have such a number already.
