@Tsarstepan ,

A long time ago, in a galaxy (ahem high school) far far away, I participated in the Model United Nations. I do not recall which country I represented.

@dan_dassow​ I don't think that was ever an option at my high school. And neither do I remember any possibility at Framingham State College or Baruch College.

I should have expected this garbage given the current crap that's been happening this year with IMDb's moderation.

Uploaded two images for The Simpsons's episode. Checked on the status an hour or so later, the images were approved but the actors credited the image were pending. That by itself? Is normal business. That has been happening for years. And the images often are added to their respective image galleries by the next day.

Forgot about it until now. Went to the image gallery on the episode page and they weren't there. Went to the main image gallery on the series title page? Not there. I did save one of the Contribution notification emails and found:

It's been belatedly declined.

@Tsarstepan​ I have experienced the same thing. How can an image be aprroved but the actor or title tag rejected is beyond me, specially since they say the tag info goes against their guidelines

@jeorj_euler​ What exactly don't you understand? What a model United Nations is?

I guess it's kind of best described as a role playing game/academic exercise where students pretend/act as United Nations ambassadors from various countries (usually not their own) as they try and learn the procedures and protocols of international diplomacy that happens at the United Nations.

O, okay. You had a really interesting time in high school, didn't you, Tsarstepan? The last time you made a poll suggestion related to high school activities, I was also dumbfounded. I must've been fairly aloof in my school days, or maybe I was just in a low-budget environment. I remember signing up for a forensics (debate) class in high school, but it was cancelled because the only person around qualified to teach it changed employment. I feel like my whole experience throughout secondary and tertiary education was mired by campus renovations and faculty being fired for one reason or another.

@jeorj_euler​ Don't get me wrong. I disdained middle school and high school (for reasons I won't go here). Some of the worst years of my life.

I just like to create (relatively) unique polls built around movies and TV series I truly love. In this case, Community. And I do fondly remember that classic Simpsons' episode.

Like I mentioned to Dan above, I'm pretty sure my schools (high and collegiate levels) did not have a model UN. Not sure how I would have felt about the activity if I did come across it during those school years. In high school, I most certainly would have balked at the idea of joining it. And I might have been more willing to join while enrolled in college. But not to that much of a greater extent.

Yeah, that seems to be a common problem.

The Simpson's Das Boot episode has been added to the Face-Off suggestion.
