Genres Should Not Be Keywords
The guidelines are very clear in stating that genres should not be repeated as keywords. Yet, this problem continues to happen. Recently, I have audited and corrected 96 "thrilller" (Yes, three l's) keywords and 80 "mistery" (yes, with an "i" instead of a "y) keywords as well as many, many other key

Are these "-available" keywords appropriate? (e.g., "unrated-version-available")
It seems to me that these keywords are improper, since they don't really describe the film. Plus, similar keywords like "available-on-dvd" and "not-on-dvd" have previously been deleted and blocked. Should these keywords be deleted and blocked as well? director's-cut-available (10 titles) deleted-sce

Sexual keywords

How does the Plot Keywords section get filled?
I'm trying to find movies about certain themes, for which I use the Plot Keywords section. However I often find that movies are tagged with keywords that I don't directly see the relevance of, so I'm wondering how those end up there. Who provides the plot keywords/how is this section filled?

The keywords "blockbuster" and "movie-flop"
Since these two IMDb keywords are vague-sounding - as a film's box office cannot always be conclusively proved - I propose that they both be deleted.
