How is this against submission guidelines?

I’m trying to submit this accurate statement into the profanity section of a movie; but it keeps declining because of it being against guidelines. How on earth is this against it cause I’ve seen far worse ones “There is at least 327 uses of "f**k" and its derivatives.”

Hi yungxrist, Your submission has been correctly declined as it is against our guidelines for parental guides, please refer to our Help guide for more information: "Do not add the specific amount of times a profanity is used, if something is used excessively please state this rather than the number of times." https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/parental-guide/GF4KYKYJA4PKQB32# I hope this helps!

"Excessively", isn't that subjective?

What Peter __pin said, and why are numbers not allowed? It gives people a better idea of what to expect

Hi yungxrist, We really appreciate the efforts you spent on counting the exact number of the beloved f-word 🫣 However, while the specific amount is not allowed in the Parental Guide, you can open an idea thread on this for voting 🖖 💡 The exact number of profanity might be also interesting in the trivia if you follow the official guidelines: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/trivia/G42ZNVNNQT6P78FE#
