One of the official subgenre keywords recently added is "kids-family", for family movies specifically aimed at kids. However, when trying to add this keyword to a title, a strange error occurs. The keyword is automatically rejected as "not valid" due to being "too subjective". To check and see if I

Subgenres should not be types of Keywords
A year ago I posted this thread. In it, I argued that IMDB should transition to an upvote/downvote system of applying keywords for titles. It was mostly disliked and rejected by commentors there for fear that factual keywords would be voted off of profiles (a possibility, albeit under that system an

How can Neo-Noir NOT be a subgenre when Film-Noir IS a genre? How can Neo-Screwball-Comedy NOT be a subgenre when Screwball-Comedy IS a genre? How can Mockumentary NOT be a subgenre when Documentary IS a genre? Erotica, NOT a subgenre? Hardcore, NOT a subgenre? Softcore, NOT a subgenr

The "1980s" style keywords should be merged into their counterpart "timeframe-1980s" style keywords
Seven months ago, the "timeframe-" keywords (like "timeframe-1980s") were officially announced. Like them or not, the "timeframe-" keywords are here to stay. Meanwhile, the "1980s" style keywords remain side by side with the "timeframe-1980s" style keywords, and the "1980s" style keywords continu

IMDb staff: Please merge these keywords into "women's-wrestling" and then block the keywords
Dear IMDb staff: Here are two oddly phrased (poorly formatted) keywords that only show up on women's wrestling titles: women-in-the-ring (146 titles) women-for-rings (5 titles) These keywords are not true duplicates of the "women's-wrestling" keyword, but that is how they are being
