Several hundreds of harassing bulk deletions and edits
As pointed out in a few of my recent posts, namely one pertaining a web-series (already solved) and one about deletion from my filmography someone is harassing me by trying to delete anyone of renown from my titles (despite these people being credited), be it cast, soundtrack listings or special thanks (two categories most affected, naturally and usually). I assume that motivation is to prevent people from further "discovering me" on IMDb through known names and/or lowering STARMeter.
I am fairly certain that I will miss something in that list, but comapring initial submissions with what's left to best of my knowledge bulk edits were done on these titles:
1 noyabrya 2008. Foto-vecherinka (2008)
International Relations Theory Illustrated #1 Realism (2012)
Twenty Years of Boredom (2013)
[HTY]: Potomu chto os'minog (2015)
Reading the Book of the Senseless (2015)
Errors in Geography: Fat Duck Surprise (2015)
Errors in Geography: Leaving Donetsk (to Live in Donetsk) (2015)
Mikhail Bondarev: Hren' velikogo cheloveka (2015)
Lesser-Known League Gaming (2015)
Errors in Geography: Festively Engaged (2015)
Errors in Geography: Geodesy - Irpen Inspires 2B Creative (2016)
The Worst Batman Fanfilm Ever... Period (2016) (this case has two unique edits to it: info from my own role field)
Something Remotely Beautiful (2016)
Errors in Geography: Schizope (2016)
What Worth Are 50 UAH on Khreshchatyk? (2016)
Errors in Geography: It's December (Again Engaged) (2016)
Nikolay Yeriomin's Pintus (2017)
The Least Interesting Events of Kyiv Comic Con (2017)
Dreaming of Eli Silverman (2017)
Errors in Geography: Really Old (2017)
Dzerzhinskiy pugaet teplokhod (2017)
Nikolay Yeriomin: Mr. Winter (2017)
Il ritorno del maestro (Return of the Master) (2018)
De oom op zoek naar mysterie (The Uncle in Search of Mystery) (2018)
Nikolay Yeriomin: Down the Drain (2018)
Enchanted Sound Effects Test (2019)
Nederlands-Engels Woordenboek (2020)
Don't Dream About Aglets (2020)
PP Studio: 13 (Years) + 10 (Years) = 1+3 (Releases Not Counting This) (2020)
Errors in Geography: Communal Pain(t) (2020)
Also every episode of "Egg Cetera" (2015), "Under Construction" (2015/II), "Master When" (2015), "Urban Nature" (2015) "The Coffee Translation" (2016), "Watching Me" (2017), "Quality Content" (2017), "Toaster Bonus" (2017)
Was this a recent purge? Very likely. Should I now re-check every single title monthly? Probably no, but I feel like I'm forced to do it now. Either that or we just ignore that there is a loophole exploited for years and very few things could be done about it. I really wonder what kind of explanation was written for those deletions since deleting listings require such.
At this point I think it will be fairly reasonable to just bulk reverse everything done from accounts responsible, because statistically amount of damage from them is very likely more than anything they did correctly. Assuming there is anything apart from these bulk edits, because I'm pretty sure that a quick check will result in these accounts only editing titles concerning me and/or maybe a few other people. I'm yet to discover any major tangents of this problem among my close collaborators, though.

Just to be clear, only the keyword "trash" (not "garbage" or any of the other synonymous keywords) is being used on your titles. I clarify that here.

Not a fan of bumping my threads, but along with this one, this issue just persists and I'm not sure whether to proceed manually readding.

Just discovered another side to that problem that even went unnoticed on the previous solved web-series posting: a lot of soundtrack listings are missing, too.
I've said that before already, I guess, but it is still mind-boggling to me someone can delete that much without proper explanation and just got shrugged away. In my 12 years on IMDb deleting something proves to be a difficult tasks that often takes several attempts, especially on a scale like this.

On a related note, we have not been able to verify the eligibility of the credit on The Dark Knight Rises. Are you able to provide evidence of your work on this title?

On a related note: someone deleted a picture from this gallery, added through a title scorecard. Not sure why, but there were quite a few stubborn attempts to delete everything regarding Mykhailo Hrushevsky from my titles, so there's that.
Several cast members are also missing from the same title.
