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?

@Michelle

Thanks for checking on this Michelle. My entire page is sabotaged. So I'd say almost all the credits are wrong. I am attaching the tracking information (images) which dates from 2006-2021 that are all accurate. Everything else apart from these attached images is all wrong and.

Hope this should help it get sorted. 
Thank you again for your help.
Best,
V

Hi @@Michelle 

Is it possible to do it sooner? I am unable to send email to new clients (as everyone checks imdb for just about everything)

Thank you for all your support thus far.

Regards

@vdh​ It's on their to do list, it could take a long time to being fixed. They'll only contact you when there is an update on the problem and likely won't respond otherwise, I know from experience but I hope it's not too long.

If you need a CV for work, have you considered setting up a personal website if you don't have one yet, adding PDF resumes and such. That'd look very professional and you can have complete control over it.

Hi @VonPunk I dont need the CV, we run a company and  I am quite anxious that most client check credits on imdb which is when I was hope they would expediate it, or even delete my profile permanently. I would rather have no information than have false information

Hi @Michelle 

Can something be done about this? Its kind of jeopardizing the projects that are about to land to us. People use IMDB as a gospel for movies.  Its been two months. Can someone please help me out on this ???

@vdh​ To the user, I'm sorry about the mislabeling of your credits. I wanted to let you know that other actors like Rick Avery have been wrongfully mislabeled on the Shimajiro IMDB pages and Doraemon IMDB pages.

I'm trying to fix the Shimajiro and Doraemon IMDB pages so that viewers won't get confused anymore.

I would like to restore the IMDB credit pages back to correct accurate forms. If possible, I want to get permission to be promoted to be an administer for only for the Shimajiro and Doraemon and Pororo the Penguin pages. I have years of experience on contributing on IMDB and have tried to be of good faith and I want to guard the Shimajiro and Doraemon IMDB pages.

I wish I could help you out and yes I agree I think your IMDB page needs to be locked out. I want the IMDB staff to start having stricter rules and policies that will prevent mislabeling credit vandalism in the future.

@vdh​ They are aware of it, as I posted before, all you can do is wait, it could take anywhere from 3 months to a year for the team to get to it, as the page belongs to them, they will not rush it through I'm afraid. They haven't even blocked the troll from adding more and more false data yet, who knows what else he is vandalising in the meantime.

Best bet is to quietly wait for an official reply letting you know when they've fixed it even it takes months. Not what you want to hear I know but you should know it can be normal for it to take a long time and it's not being ignored.

@VonPunk​ Can I be out of this thread please? No one from IMDB has helped me either even though I'm being completely bullied online.

@directorjkyoung​ You have to go to the first post and click 'unfollow' underneath it, when you post in a thread it automatically makes you 'follow' it and you have to opt out to no longer receive notifications for it.

@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
