Malicious member using IMDb to harass me through employers

A malicious IMDb member has made me his mark by contacting producers on projects that I am attached to and libeling me with vicious lies. I have lost 3 films lately because of this harassment. Is there anyone at IMDb that can help with this problem? Has anyone else suffered this sort of assault?

Hi @MicGivens -

We cannot get involved in third party cases where there is ongoing harassment that extends outside of IMDb.  However, if you are seeing any unusual errors or sabotage on your IMDb page, let us know and we can investigate the situation.

@Michelle​ Thank you Michelle. I brought the subject up here because the perpetrator, in my case, is using IMDb to find people to harass. My hope from you is that IMDb will look into a blocking mechanism to help protect members from such abuse.

Hi @MicGivens​ -

We don't restrict access to the IMDb site itself.  If the harassment continues, you may want to consider legal counsel to advise on what actions you can take against the perpetrator, and hopefully put an end to it.

Best of luck!

Thank you again Michelle. I am indeed speaking with counsel. My suggestion is not to block anyone from IMDb it is like many social media sites that allow one to block someone from their own site. I wish you well and all the best.
