Unresolved keyword posts

@ACT_1​ Something tells me IMDb staff would not go for that idea. I would love it if they would, though.

? ? Start a new message to several @ Staff names Add a simple sample list of more new keyword posts Maybe a Search link https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/search?q=keyword Search Results (3.4K) 😲 Easy for others to find and add more Move old ones to the new forum Get more replies from other KeyWord problem finders in your new message to the Staff - - - More helpful than some other topics ?? https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/topics All TopicsTitleDescription Conversations Followers IMDb.comIMDb is the world’s most popular 3.2K 1.1K Data Issues & Policy DiscussionsThis category is managed by our IMDb Content team. 36.3K 606 IMDbPro.comIMDbPro is the essential resource 598 309 IMDb App: Android & Fire devices Find showtimes, watch trailers, browse photos, 187 284 IMDb TVIMDb TV is a free, 123 48 I Need To KnowThis is the place to post film/TV/video/questions 981 494 IMDb PollThe IMDb Poll is an ongoing set of polls 10.9K 270 IMDb App: iPhone & iPadFind showtimes, watch trailers, browse photos, 88 242 .

So if the search numbers are accurate, only about 10% of the posts in the Data & Policy category involve keywords. I don't know that this warrants a whole new section just for keywords. The real issue is that IMDb staff seem understaffed right now. My posts of duplicate keyword lists are highly dependent on staff to take action on keywords at mass levels, yet that doesn't seem to be happening lately (except for a mistaken action that literally happened in response to an April Fools' joke). Truth be told, I could post my duplicate keyword lists at a rate at least 5 times faster than I have been posting them. I have been purposely slowing down my lists to let IMDb staff catch up with me, but unfortunately that isn't happening.

@Michelle​ Thank you for the update, and no worries. I figured that was the case. I just didn't want my keyword lists to be lost or forgotten about.

@Michelle​ p.s. I am glad to hear about the new staff being hired and trained. You deserve extra help!

@Michelle​ Any updates on the staff capacity to resolve these older threads?

@Michelle​ Is there a plan yet for resolving these threads? I have substantially slowed down my postings of duplicate keyword lists for the past several months, to allow the staff to catch up. Any projections on when that will happen?

@Michelle​ @Bethanny Is there a plan for resolving these older threads? They have been pending for as long as five months. The delay on processing them slows down my own volunteer work for IMDb. Each time I encounter a set of duplicate keywords that should be merged, I have to research whether I have already reported the duplicates on this forum and whether they are still pending, before I know whether to add them to my private list for a future public post. Although this isn't the end of the world, it does cumulatively add many unnecessary hours to the time I volunteer for IMDb. Even if IMDb were to process these posts at the rate of one post per weekday, it would make a huge difference and the backlog would be cleared in short order.

@keyword_expert​ Hi! Yes we are working on all of the older threads as fast as we can, some of them are already in process. We appreciate all the time you take to do all this lists, we are doing our best to take care of them. Cheers!

@Bethanny​ We have again reached the point where some of these posts have been pending for as long as five months. In the meantime, the situation with keywords is slowly growing into an unruly mess; there are many other keyword problems that I have refrained from posting about, given the current moratorium and backlog. Is there any update on when IMDb staff will resume the ability to make mass changes to keywords?
