Solved

Lots of duplicated but probably unique posters for The Thundermans

In the following submissions, I tried to delete duplicated posters for The Thundermans (see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/mediaindex/). Are these, once again, unique cases? #251027-224131-061302 #251027-224425-644402 #251027-224444-874002 #251027-224456-836502 #251027-224509-953902 #251027-224520-921602 #251027-224532-141002 #251027-224541-971702

Hello Marco, These are unique exceptions made, as is the case for the images you reported, where the image is from a partnered-source and the display is reliant for specified features on the site. As such these specific duplicate images will need to remain on the site.

Hi Fran, Thousands of “unique exceptions” have existed for over a decade, starting in 2014-2015, when the IMDb team made a very unfortunate marketing decision to allow anyone who paid a dime to borrow all the title pages as an endless place for visual content. And those paid some pennies to place all their crap into the eyes of all IMDb and IMDbPro users. We still are very uncomfortable with the images which are placed having wrong category, outdated poor resolutions, misleading imprints on them, and many other counterfactual perversions. Moreover, the initial vandals themselves need that crap no more -- they just switched to another projects long time ago. Back to the titular topic, it is obvious that Marco reported all except one of the following images: https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm2729046272 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm3673026816 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm332722176 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm1509945344 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm4059033600 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm4214158080 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm1130361600 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm407696128 https://pro.imdb.com/title/tt2712516/images#rmConst=rm3883594496 All of them were added in March 2015. And now they are not in a public domain anywhere, except IMDb. Can you tell us, IMDb contributors, fans, free- and pro-users... Who needs this multiple crap images on IMDb? It is not on GooglePlay anymore: https://play.google.com/store/tv/show/The_Thundermans It is not on Amazon, where the better modern images glow: - https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Thundermans-Volume-4/dp/B01FLAYCKM - https://www.amazon.de/Die-Thundermans-Staffel-Teil-dt/dp/B01KPA6VK2 There is no official channels using those images, so may be IMDb team helps to feed the dark net?

Thanks for chiming in with all this background information MAthePA! I appreciate it. Hopefully a staffer will respond. And like you, I really don't believe the unique cases are that unique: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/search?q=unique%20case&page=1&sortKey=RELEVANCE&sortOrder=DESC

@Marco and @MAthePA- Thank you for the feedback! We'll pass it to the relevant team for visibility. However, as we have previously mentioned before, these unique cases are specific for the site and this is why the images have to remain.
