Why aren't the "goofs" sections showing up anymore (at least for the several movies I submitted them for in the past???)

I have submitted several "goofs" over the years, the most recent I believe for the movie Better Watch Out. It originally showed up on the main page under the "goofs" section but there is nothing there now (FYI--it was a "spoiler" which was clearly noted in my post AND noted in the originally published "goof").

Most likely someone submitted a delete request.

I'm posting the title link in case IMDb staff want to dig up your entry.

Hi gundy-

 

As @Peter_pbn said this is because they were reported by other user as they could not be considered Goofs since they all had an explanation.

 

Cheers!

My "goof" was a simple "continuity" issue, nothing technical, scientific, or artistic license related, that was originally listed as a goof on IMDb (and a VERY OBVIOUS AND SIGNIFICANT one--SPOILER). I even watched the scene several times over before submitting to make sure I didn't miss something which I don't think I did.

I even saw the same "goof" submitted by someone else on another movie review site and it was still posted.

But mine was removed for apparently no reason as IMDb states:

Reason: Not specified

The problem with users reporting goofs that they think have an explanation is that they don't have real knowledge of how things work.

I wrote a goof, a long time ago, for xXx: State of the Union. The entire plot is illogical and defies how trains actually work. Someone could write an "explanation" for why that could happen but I actually wrote software for train braking systems and have much more knowledge of how train brakes works than your average IMDb user.

Thanks for the response Adrian but this was pretty much a straightforward simple goof in terms of continuity and not in regard to how I thought/knew how things would, should or could go.
