Please correct "not a problem" unfixed after full day

Please look at this post. It is demeaning to close it with "not a problem" because it is a problem. Additionally, the problem still exists after more than a day since it being sent back to the same editor the error has not been corrected. Maybe the editor is ignorant of the imdb guidelines and not going to fix the error.

If this were the first time that a self credit was rejected, then maybe not a problem would be ok, but please do a search here and you will find dozens of self credit corrections that have been rejected so it most definitely is a problem if imdb actually cares about making its data better as contributors who are trying to do that are pushed back on.

Lastly, the fact that these type of credits still exist is the result of narrow focus on the part of imdb. I used to program databases and I could easily write a query that identifies all of these as a check and then write sql that would correct most, but likely not all which is why a query would be needed as a first step, of these types of credits. If you don't have programmers that are capable I know they exist because I was one for 40 years.

It's now been two days and the self  credits still have not been corrected. My guess is that the editor that this was forwarded on to simply does not care. Very sad for imdb..
