"Spoiler without warning" report cannot be summited

I stumbled upon a review with a massive spoiler in the title, I tried to report it but it gives me the following error: "It looks like you haven't modified this item. Please make a change to the item before submitting". There is an old post in this forum depicting the exact same issue, but no real solution were given at the time: The system wasn't working for OP, and then all of a sudden it did. I tried several times but I'm not having the same luck. If you can look into this it would be great, this is the review I'm trying to report. Thanks in advance!

Hi @TheEveningSoother -

I do see it is already marked as spoiler, maybe the request came in twice causing the error?

Please do let us know if you get this issue reporting any other review.

Thanks!

Hello Bethanny, thanks for reaching out.

I tried to report the same review today and still no joy, so whatever this issue might be, is still happening for me. Your explanation sounds very plausible so I'll mark it as accepted answer.

That said, it seems a bit paradoxical to me that not only IMDB's strict policy about spoilers do not extent to review's titles (which after all are the first thing you read), apparently as long as a review has the spoilers tag on, the system prevents other users to report it.

I have absolutely nothing against the user in question, and I'm sure they didn't do it on purpose, but the title they chose for their review is going to spoil the fun for a lot of people. It shouldn't be allowed to happen.

@TheEveningSoother​ & @Bethanny 

It *is* marked as Spoiler, but that does not help since the spoiler is in the review Title.

@NYVKE​ Oh I am sorry I did not get that, in that case I have changed the title. Since there can be no spoilers on the title.

Cheers!

@Bethanny​ Yes, the spoiler was in the title, I said it multiple times in my posts. Thanks for sorting it out.
