Male Nudity Related Keywords Targeted & Deleted

Hello dear IMDb forum,

A problematic person targets male-frontal-nudity related titles and deletes certain keywords from the database randomly. Currently 7.709 titles listed, I remember the number being higher just yesterday.

Kindly take notice of the titles listed below I added the words in once I realized, identify the perpetrator who deleted from many more titles and ban him. He continues once again.

1 - #240909-094835-000000
2 - #240909-092718-695000
3 - 240909-092844-501000

Internet Archive - Wayback Machine - IMDb - Male Frontal Nudity Keywords

You may want to use the Wayback Machine to archive the affected keyword pages. That will help you keep track of what this rogue contributor is doing.

It's annoying when bad contributors add fake information, but when they delete the work of legitimate contributors it's just depressing. What's the point of submitting information if some fool with bizarre ideas decides he doesn't like it?

I've had this issue with keywords, images and cast attributes, and it's the one thing that makes me want to quit contributing. In fact, I did quit for six years because of it.

Do you happen to know if this person is only targeting male-nudity keywords or does he delete the female ones as well? It would be useful to know exactly what kind of material needs special protection.

Thank you for your information. I am going to archive when all the deleted keywords reinstated.

And yes, it is a very frustrating thing, and I get you totally.

As far as I can tell, he only targets the male-related ones on a whim.
