Somebody has submitted false reports against items in the IMDb parents guide for "Tomboy", causing the items to be deleted.

I suppose that the IMDb site authorities are already aware of my disappointment with the newer mechanics, as I found the swiki system to be superior despite some abusive incidents directed through it, so there is no point to me belaboring this. Michelle, I do appreciate that you've taken the time to provide something of an explanation. I wish that I could know why the particular items were deleted. I mean, in general, it would be nice to be able to uncover explanations for why any major edit is undertaken against anything in any parents' guide. I've tried to explain this stuff to other contributors (e.g. Marco and Peter), but either they don't understand or don't care. I do see how maybe the current system makes it easier for contribution points to be awarded for expanding or correcting parents guides, though.

In the case of Tomboy, going forward, I will see what I can do to repair the guide. I've noticed that items in each section of a guide usually appear in the order in which they were created, and I think it would be great if there was a feature adjust the order, sans the complications that may arise when contributors might have disputes about what constitutes the most appropriate ordering. I really don't remember a lot of fusses, hassles and frustrations with the swiki system, and perhaps I simply wasn't aware of them.

I may have to create a new thread requesting feedback on how best to describe the main character of Tomboy, but this might be pointless, since there is little hope of the expectation of responses at all, let alone the expressions of informed opinions. The forum rarely sees complaints or questions about parents guides, and when it does, those threads are focused on the presence of content rather than the absence of content, so I'm, so to speak, dying alone on this hill.

I do care. I was very happy when IMDb decided to retire all swiki areas because I feel it's much better if contributions are send to paid members of IMDb (or their automated checks) and then make it online (or not of course) instead of giving everybody and their mother the opportunity to enter everything they want.

That being said, I agree it would be very useful if IMDb could revert Parents Guides (or any section of the database for that matter) to a previous state.
