None of those registered users should be banned, and like Michelle has pointed out, their content can be reported for violations of the Conditions of Use. I've looked at the content and don't see any violations. By the way, MAGA.

Hi, Jeorj Euler. If I were to report a user review that I believe contains politically biased content, which option would I pick: Duplicate, Inappropriate, Not relevant, or Spoiler without warning? Could you help me out on that if possible?

P.S. If you support this man (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm9117281/) and/or this political ideology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right), could you tell me why since you ended your reply with the word MAGA?

Thanks!

Jack Johnston, none of us have any business reporting material that is not in violation of the law (statutes, treaties, judgements et cetera, of relevant jurisdictions), the Conditions of Use, the Contributor's Charter or Submission Guidelines.

P.S. "If" And if not?

Jack,

Please reread carefully everything that has been posted above by Michelle and Jeorj: what is at stake is the written content of reviews, not people. And the interpretation of it may have various assessments that will not always match your own.

When it comes to MAGA, I just learn its existence and meaning in your post. As a lot of people in the world and contributors on IMDb, I am not an American and I do not live in the US. And I took Jeorj's quote as an ironic one.

And do not make me wrong: the sooner the present POTUS is gone, the happier I will be. 26 months to go, hopefully...

The phrase "make America great again" was first popularized by Ronald Reagan back around 1980. All Donald Trump did was, with assistance, turn it into an acronym and go along with tons of a "MAGA" souvenirs being made and distributed. Is it an offensive phrase? Sure, from a certain point of view, since it implies that America isn't already great, which is again, a matter of opinion, in a nation that has a constitution that forbids legislatures therein from ratifying measures to inhibit or criminalize the freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right of the people to peaceably assemble or the right of the people to petition governments for redress of grievances.

Furthermore, even if IMDb changed its policies to restrict political stuff from the user-generated content, it is very unlikely that the extreme measure of immediately deleting offending users' accounts altogether without so much as bothering to address the specific content would be pursued. Usually that sort of measure is reserved for sockpuppet accounts and spam accounts.
