Genre mismanagement
Poor genre judgements
Once again, I find myself entering the new year with great trepidation about how genre decisions are made. Since IMDb's guidelines apparently DO NOT agree with other reliable sources (in this case, Variety), is seems that genre guidelines MUST be redefined OR the genre list manager must have his/her eyes opened.
Here are some examples of rejections that absolutely baffle me:
181231-151312-0320002018-12-31 15:13:12The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1972)

Some sort of logical explanation (if possible), would be appreciated.

I posted an Idea for genre sorting that would resolve this issue in most cases. In one of my followup comments I explained how the automated voting system would prevent staff and users such as yourself from having to go thru a potentially tedious process in order to approve and agree on genres. It's unlikely it will be implemented, but if enough votes accumulate maybe the staff will change their minds.
Genres for titles should be manually sortable
