Inquiry Regarding Unpublished IMDb Reviews
Dear IMDb Support Team,
I am writing to inquire about an issue I have encountered multiple times in recent months regarding user reviews I have submitted, which have not been published.
To ensure clarity and quality, I typically write my reviews in my native language and then translate them into English using ChatGPT. This approach helps me avoid awkward phrasing and improves readability compared to translating manually. However, despite my efforts to produce clear and thoughtful reviews, several of my submissions have not appeared on the platform.
As someone who has watched and critically engaged with a large number of films, I take care to write meaningful and relevant reviews. For this reason, I would appreciate any guidance on what I may be doing incorrectly or which guidelines I might be unintentionally violating.
For reference, here is one of the submission receipts:
IMDb update receipt #260429-055150-961621
I also attempted to submit a similar review approximately 10 days earlier with a different text, though I no longer have the receipt number for that attempt.
I would be grateful if you could clarify why my reviews are not being published and advise me on how to ensure future submissions meet your requirements.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Breumaster

Hi Breumaster-
Thank you for posting the reference! Further reviewing, for this user review, it was declined as a duplicate. I have checked that you had already submitted a review for this same title a few days before and it was approved but it was not appearing on the site.
Therefore, I have gone ahead and re-published your previously approved review. It is now live on the site.
If you have further issues with other reviews, you can go ahead and post the reference number(s) below so we can take a look.
Cheers!
