Japanese episode title corrections denied?

Hi, I've been trying to update some episode titles for TV anime to reflect the IMDb guidelines (use original title), but they seem to be denied in favor of English titles, which are clearly incorrect per IMDb guidelines. Here's a batch for Spy x Family, which is currently airing. I have no idea why these are denied, the guidelines seem to be very clear on original titles.

Also, my two attempts at submitting the next episode was denied twice. I'm not sure why this is happening, I even quoted the relevant guidelines saying that the main title should be in the original language in my submissions.

It's frustrating, a lot of recent Japanese productions seem to incorrectly have English titles as primary on IMDb, and I'm not even sure if it's worth spending time correcting them if it's just going to be denied.

And it happened again, a katakana correction was denied and inexplicably moved to (alternative title) and my katakana addition was set to Japan (Japanese title) (alternative title) when it's clearly the main title per title card.

I don't know why the moderation team is ignoring clear and unambiguous guidelines.

Hi @rosedav​ -

My apologies for the delayed reply.  Our staff are working through a backlog of threads to address any outstanding issues.

For these submissions I can see that the Original title has since been updated to "Hîrâ gâru".

Cheers!
