Vandalism on movie posters

Ok, I’m now returning to this original topic that I opened when I first came here to the forum.

Vandalism.

Recently US release posters that I sent for several movies have been deleted,  probably by some user using several accounts to report them for whatever reason, and replaced for covers, inferior quality images and even newspapers recuts.

The most recent victim of this kind of practice is Bullitt, until a few days ago the movie original poster was the primary image, this poster was deleted recently and replaced by a cover art, I resubmitted the poster yesterday and it was approved for publication, but today the poster was deleted again from the gallery.

 

My submission:

#220608-223830-045702

This, of course, is not the first time that this kind of thing happens, I already have discussed this topic here: https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/vandalism-on-movie-posters/62868a685c183c026e1f88d5

But I got no answer.

Other movies that have the original US posters deleted are:

Persona (1966)

Blow up (1966)

Le Boucher (The butcher) (1970)

Carnal Knowledge (1971)

Papillon (1973)

Galipolli (1981)

Someone Behind the Door (1981)

Me Klein (1976)

Repulsion (1965)

The Mission (1986)*
In the Heat of the Night (1967)*

For some of the titles above, I could repost the poster whiteout been deleted again (*), but some of them have been deleted 3 or 4 times.

That unpleasant situation, is both bad for me, who have to waste time resending those images and is bad for the own website, who loses data, good quality images in full resolution. So, I politely ask for those who are responsible for this to be banned.

Can some editor please block or ban the user who has been doing this.

Well, well, well…

On the meantime, since no editor has responded my post, vandalism actions have made new victims:

The Long  Goodbye: the original poster (at least the one in good quality) has been  excluded and replaced by a Japanese poster (this on the English language version of the website): https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0070334/

Rocky 2: The original poster was excluded (I already send it back) and replaced by an Italian poster which is waterprinted on the left bottom (also on the English version): https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0079817/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 

Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia: the poster was not excluded, but has been constantly changed over the last 24 hours between poor quality images and DVD covers: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0071249/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 


Update: now the poster has been excluded and several repeated images have been uploaded.


Time to someone do something about this/those jerks.

Rocky 3: poster replaced by fan art - and this is a serious case because fan arts are not allowed by the images guidelines (even that several movies have fan arts added on the galleries). This one in particular rises the bar in terms of ugliness, looks like the revenge of some graphic school dropout!
