Review for "MEN (2022)" declined.... why?

Can anyone tell me why? The reason I received was " declined, does not meet contribution guidelines". And that's it. Nothing else. Any ideas? Hopefully something more than the typical reasons people are cancelled. I'm wondering what rule I broke.

-------------------------------
"A young woman goes on a solo vacation to the English countryside following the death of her ex-husband".

Aaaaaaand what? Even this weak synopsis is padded with unneeded words, such as "young" and "solo". Imagine if the synopsis was written without these padded words....

"A woman goes on a vacation to the English countryside after her ex-husband dies".

Aaaaaaaand what? Who cares? A woman's EX-HUSBAND dies, so she goes on a vacation? Let's further remove unneeded words, such as the fact that the woman went on vacation when a random person she is no longer associated with dies....

"A woman goes on a vacation to the English countryside"

Do you get what I am getting at? What is the point of this movie?

I will watch it ONLY because some black dude fell out the window in the trailer and she started screaming. But other than that, this movie looks to have no reason to exist. (as highlighted by the absolute worst IMDb synopsis ever written for a movie). IMDb's synopsis couldn't be any blander...

The lack of a reason when declining a post is wack. Anybody have any idea why this was declined? For the movie "The Toolbox Murders"

------------
Excessive nudity, cheap music, cheap kills, and horrible acting. There is even a scene of a girl masturbating for no reason (that girl later became a porn star). And the film editing during that scene and throughout the movie is pretty weak... very amateur and annoying. Basically this movie is nothing special at all. I'm about to fall asleep watching it right now. This very minute. Yaaaaaaaawn.... yeah, gnite.Nothing special

Hi SirDredwick- 

In order for our staff to take a look, can you post both of the 18-digit submission reference numbers for these User Reviews you submitted? Once we have these, we can investigate further. 

Cheers!

Hi SirDredwick -

I can confirm that this User Review was declined because the content was focused on the IMDb plot outline verses reviewing the film itself.  As per our guidelines, keep in mind that User Reviews should focus on the title's content and context.

I hope this helps!

@Michelle​ The Toolbox Murders review doesn't have anything to do with IMDB's plot outline. Reference # 220317-121002-960104. Here is what it says:

"Excessive nudity, cheap music, cheap kills, and horrible acting. There is even a scene of a girl masturbating for no reason (that girl later became a porn star). And the film editing during that scene and throughout the movie is pretty weak... very amateur and annoying. Basically this movie is nothing special at all. I'm about to fall asleep watching it right now. This very minute. Yaaaaaaaawn.... yeah, gnite."
