Reviews declined, but no idea why

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I saw some similar posts in this forum.

I recently posted 3 reviews about vampire movies that were all declined and I'm not sure why. 

Am I missing some area on the page that tells me why?

Is there an edit and resubmit button somewhere I'm not seeing?

Both of those things should exist if they don't. 

Is this the place to get assistance and resolve these issues?

Hi Sambardo -

 

I reviewed the content of these User Reviews and didn't observe any violation content, so i can confirm that these reviews were declined in error.

 

I encourage you to re-submit the reviews, after re-submitting them promptly post the 18-digit submission reference numbers here and I can approve them for you.

 

Cheers!

@Michelle I've resubmitted them:

#210831-221312-516604

#210831-221526-083904

#210831-221730-390004

I also noticed these ones were declined with no additional info:

#210803-171510-479104

#210727-012256-708604

#210727-004325-013704

I'm going to stop using IMDB as a review platform. It's a bad experience. Reviews are something I enjoy looking at and it started out as a fun thing to write, but this experience made it frustrating and not fun anymore. 

I have to manually go and check my reviews days later and if they are denied there is no feedback at all and no way to resubmit. Opening a forum ticket like this is not a sustainable solution.

It's really a shame that I feel forced to use other platforms like rotten tomatoes or stop writing reviews all together. It also really is a shame that markdown reviews aren't supported to allow for much more readable text.

Hi Sambardo -

I understand your frustration, and am sorry to hear that you are considering leaving IMDb for another platform.  Regarding this issue, I have alerted the applicable team for visibility of these errors to prevent this from reoccurring again in the future.

I can confirm that the first set of submissions (210831-221312-516604, 210831-221526-083904, and 210831-221730-390004) were approved and are now listed live on the site.

For the rejected User Reviews, unfortunately, I can see that these were all declined in error.  If you wish to resubmit these reviews, immediately after you can post the 18-digit submission reference numbers here and our staff can promptly approve them for you.

Cheers!
