External reviews on Google Drive

I did some cleaning on External Review links a couple of months ago and noticed that. I contacted support and sent them about 100 dead or otherwise not appropriate root URLs to be mass deleted, among them Google Drive.

I first asked if I could do that and they said yes, but I haven't heard back from them after I sent the URLs, and the dead/bad links are still there.

Hey there,

It's important to know that corrections to data on IMDb are submitted by everyday users just like yourself - once contributed, a member of the IMDb team reviews the update to make sure it's okay to publish. Please be aware that we're unable to submit requests on a user's behalf if the request is possible using the contribution interface, apologies for the inconvenience.

However, we always welcome corrections to the database! If you're aware of inaccurate information, please let us know through the Edit page button which is listed at the bottom of every page on our website.

From here, you can provide specific details as to the information you'd like updating and we'll take prompt measures to investigate your claim and make any necessary updates.

Our Help Site contains a very useful guide on how to contribute data and updates to IMDb:

https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/how-do-i-con...

Thanks in advance for your help in keeping IMDb as accurate and up to date as possible, please don't hesitate to let us know if you experience any issues while contributing the update and either myself or one of the team can help you out.

If you're wondering what nonsense I'm talking about, this is the response I got from Elizabeth from support last time I reported some spam domains. Then someone else said "ok we'll look into it" after ignoring several messages about it (for some reason they have the freedom to do that, they can trash your issues without a response) but like @Gassem 's case, nothing was done.

I do know they have the ability to mass clean these domains tho, because Michelle did it in one day once.

Hi gromit82 & All -

I have identified a large number of these invalid External Review sites and am working through a clean-up now.  I have also reported this occurrence to the appropriate team to address improvements in helping minimize future incorrect approvals.

Gassem & mbmb - my clean-up will likely involve the titles you previously encountered and reported.  However, if you are willing to post some live examples within this thread I can also review those as well.

Cheers!

That's great Michelle.

Here are some root URLs, I'm sure you can find the links starting with these addresses.
Most of these are dead, some are bad redirects and other junk. Some are still live but go somewhere else than the review that was supposed to be behind the link.

These were some spam domains I reported recently:

jetfilmizle.pro
canlidiziizlesene.net
hd-filmizle.net
diziall.com
onlineizle.co
centrumfilmow.pl
superfullhdfilmizle.com
037hdonline.com (when clicked redirects to 888movie.com)
siyahfilmizle.net
www.filmgezegeni.net

After some back-and-forth, Charlie asked for confirmation but haven't heard back again and all links are still there, see, one of them is even on Official Sites section of Zack Snyder's Justice League

Hi Gassem & mbmb -

Thanks for posting these additional domains/URLs, I have added these to the clean-up effort!

@Michelle

I have more if it helps, can I post them here?
