Property Master category within IMDB

Greetings, I am new to this forum and this is my second post for an idea to define the Property Master and Property department as a separate category or listing in the IMDB Crew listings.  Currently, all film credits for Property Master and Property Department are listed under the general heading of Art Department. Meanwhile, IMDB has separate categories or listings for Production Designer, Art Director, Set Decorator, which are listed separately from the Art Department. Additional categories include Costume Designer, Make-up Department, Sound Department, Special Effects, Camera and Electrical, Costume and Wardrobe, Editorial, Locations, and Transportation.

   From my personal experiences of being a Property Master for 35 years as well as the opinions from my Property Master contemporaries, we feel slighted and disrespected by the IMDB policy of subjugating the Property Master and Property department under the Art Department heading. The work of a Property Master is difficult and demanding which takes much creative energy and artistic input to complete this job. We the Property Masters demand the proper respect we deserve by IMDB by creating this separate category for the Property Master and the Property Department.

   Thanks for all of your consideration and Understanding.

Gregory, did you vote yet for your own idea (this post)?

Other posts on the same topic, all from this author:

Gregory, Don't these state the same request?

If so, I don't understand why you would post 3 versions of the same idea, all within 6 days.

You have the ability to Edit the original post if you want to clarify something.

Hello Bderoes, Thanks for your response. Yes this is a bit redundant. As I learn to negotiate this community board, the intention was to request the change on IMDB under different topics, ie., ideas or questions. 

    I have yet to find the vote window to vote for my own idea. Anyhelp with this?

I think it best if you delete the other 2 posts (linked above).

Or, if you want to preserve the discussions there, I can merge them into this one.
