Massive vandalism/fake data on upcoming Russian animation pages (tt38607788 and tt33054647)

Hello IMDb Team and Community,I would like to report a series of clearly fake and misleading updates on the page for the animated film "Luntik. Obratinaya storona Luni (2026)" (Title ID: tt38607788).An anonymous user has blanketed the "Release Info" section with completely fabricated dates for multiple countries (including Canada, Australia, Belarus, and Russia) scheduled for October 2026. This project does not have any confirmed international theatrical distribution for these specific dates, and the entries look like deliberate database vandalism (likely by a young fan making things up).Could a staff member please review the edit history for this title, remove the unverified release dates, and lock the page or roll back the false contributions?Thank you for keeping the database accurate!

Additionally, I found that the exact same anonymous user (or a similar bad actor) has vandalized another upcoming Russian animated/live-action project page: "Smeshariki. Skvoz vselennye (2026)" (Title ID: tt33054647). They have flooded the "Release Info" and the "Alternate Titles (AKA)" sections with completely fabricated international release dates and fake translated titles. It seems to be a widespread database spam targeting upcoming Riki Group / Melnitsa animation titles. Could you please check the contribution logs for this title as well, clean up the fake dates/AKAs, and revert the vandalism? Thank you!

Hi @Maya​, Thank you for the reply, but simply submitting corrections manually will not solve the underlying issue. This is not a case of accidental, minor mistakes that a user can easily fix via the contribution form. This is systematic and deliberate database vandalism carried out across multiple titles (like tt38607788 and tt33054647) by what appears to be the exact same user or bad actor. If I manually delete these fake dates and AKAs, this user will likely just re-submit their fantasies tomorrow, creating a never-ending cycle. Could an IMDb staff member or admin please look into the contribution history logs for these titles, identify the specific account responsible for flooding these pages with fake information, and take administrative action (such as warning or banning the account)? Cleaning up widespread spam should be handled by the database administration to protect the integrity of IMDb data. Thank you!
