Locking my imdb profile so no one else can make an edit except me

How do I lock my imdb page so no one edits it?

Someone edited my BIO and all my project credits to assistant or uncredited (maybe my competition who is trying to make a bad name for me).

Is there a way to lock it so no one edits it?

Thanks!

Hi @Michelle ,

Any update on this? It's nearing a month since I have posted my concern. I do hope this is not going on deaf ears :(

Thanks.

@daniel_francis_gardecki I am going to defend myself from someone that I don't even know. I haven't lied to iMDB at all. In fact, Gilmer has taken down my Jackpot IMDb whoever you are. I don't like being called lier without any proof. I just wanted him gone from my production. I don't want any association with this guy or Guy Manly productions.  He is bad news to any film community. And, I have been doing my best to get him banned.

If you knew half of the story you might feel differently. I actually went to a lawyer and called the cops because he won't leave me alone. The police unfortunately can't do anything about cyber bullying.  In fact, he went so far to get Jackpot down on YouTube. Luckily for me YouTUbe sided with me because i am the rightful owner and creator.

He has done this to other creators. I want IMDB to shut down his page he doesn't deserve it. I have asked legal counsel to go against him in his claims he is always making himself the victim and doesn't take responsibility for his own actions.  You cannot lock Jackpot without my permission. I don't understand how IMDB can allow people to make random claims and edits that should be against the database and have better security channels.

He attacks my business profiles and I block him from my profiles. He added all of my friends and my friends all tell me when he posts and he does not have any royalty in this community that doesn't like him.  I wanted him removed because he harrases me. He's becoming a thorn in my side and the people in the film community here and dumb enough to see it to give him absolute power. That's why he claims and has so many credits. I would like for my name to be removed, please for my privacy. I did ask for my personal file to be aired out. Thanks! Respectfully. Whoever you are.

Hi VDH -

Apologies for the delayed reply.  I can confirm that there is a pending ticket to investigate the sabotage attempts made toward your IMDb page, we have also taken measures to help prevent any current sabotage attempts.

In the meantime, can you clarify what remaining errors are currently displayed on your IMDb page that need to be fixed?

@VonPunk @Michelle @Col_Needham 

Guys, I am trying to delete the credits one by one, but there are about 6000 entries that have spammed my page. Can someone from your team or side delete all my credits, that way I can add everything back one by one at least?! 

SIX THOUSAND!!! This is insane ! Can you guys please help out here?

@vdh​ Staff likely won't reply as they've passed it on to the team that deals with this type of vandalism and it'll be in the queue to be dealt with.

I did get a few hundred credits deleted for you last year but the vandal just resubmitted them all and undid all that. I'm not sure why after the initial conversations here the person wasn't prevented from contributing anymore data or if they were why it continues.
I know it's annoying and I've waited over a year for vandalism to be looked at so it can take awhile.

I do appreciate you helping me out last year with deleting several miscreditss. However I am unable to understand on is why imdb does not lock my page and give rights either only to me or to their staff? I am giving a talk next week and People are going to be checking out my credits. But this disaster is hard to explain, especially when it looks horrifying. 

Now that I tried changing and deleting things off, the pages just doesnt load because there are several thousands of ridiculous trolling. 

I am lost and this does impact a lot on what I do. If there is no solution, it would be best to delete everything off my page and I can start afresh. 

Appreciate your response

Hi @Michelle can you please delete everything on my profile as you guys are unable to help me out? I would prefer having nothing than absurd false information about me sporting on the internet.

It would help me a lot.

Thank you
