Literally hundreds of credits deleted from my web-series
There is a persistent harassment problem of someoone deleting lots of credits from my work. Usually my feature film gets that, but right now this problem is much more apparent on my web-series "Vedro" (2013-). I keep the tabs in whcih cases I've completed adding all of the credited listings but I might as well throw that all out of the window and just start doing this anew, because literally hundreds of credits were deleted from all of the episodes of this web-series (seemingly very recently). Among other things this vandal edit was repetaed verbatim as it was implemented in 2019.
I don't know why this keeps happening. My best guess would be attempts to decrease the STARmeter of the titles or something by deleting every single name of renown, but it's not just that, some absolutely random names like this one (pretty much only had credits on this series) were deleted from the cast and special thanks, some of which literally don't have other credits. I keep some tabs on what I've added already about this web-series and my filmography in general but I might as well throw them out of the window: as soon as I complete a few episodes somewere else hundreds of credis get deleted. Not sure whether it can be investigated, but surely actvity of that level should have some kind of trace? I mean, seemingly as soon as accounts get deleted these same people have newer ones and will eventually get to wreck havok, but it least halts the activities for some time.
Also there is just a tiny bit of frustration that someone can delete literally hundreds of eligible credits and/or lisitings, while I spent weeks trying to add other eligible lisitings that get randomly declined over and over. I would've said that this is discouraging/disheartening, but it's really not right now, because compared to active warfare in the country that just totally halted me creatively this is, of course, a mild annoyance at best. I'm not even sure I can continue as filmmaker at this point (or that I want to live, in general, I haven't had as much suicidal thoughts as I ahve in 2022 in my previous thrity years of being alive and that's saying something), so there's that.
On a related note war largely decreased my IMDb activities, but I feel obliged as an IMDb Champion and I will attempt to kick back in these few remaining months of 2022. After all, I feel really bad complaining about problems when I was very nearly absent for months and not helping other people. "We only get what we give".

Hi @nikolay_yeriomin -
Thanks for your report.
I have investigated and reinstated all the recently removed episode credits for your series "Vedro", the missing credits should be live again on the site shortly. I have also taken additional steps to help prevent future incorrect removals. If you observe any repeat behavior do let us know!
In the meantime, I hope you are doing well and staying safe in these troubling times.
