Make sure reviews are reviews again (minimum of 50 words instead of 50 characters)

Idea: Make sure reviews are reviews again.Current situation: Recently, IMDb has decided that a user review should at least have 50 characters.

Add an "Episodes level" for the vintage Movie Serials format

The IMDB lists individual episodes of TV series. (A long time ago, they did not.) Would it not be logical to do the same thing for the vintage movie serials of the first part of last century? Their episodes are almost exactly the same as television episodes. And right now they can't, for example, ha

PEGI ratings

The PEGI ratings are used in multiple countries, and a game like Halo 3 (tt0494232) currently lists the PEGI rating for 4 countries.

How can I delete my contribution history?

Hi. I added some posters recently and could see my contributions on Your Contribution History (beta) page. Really want a clean slate (because now it feels like a mess - posters were random, I just went through some titles with bad posters and added better ones) and don't want to re-create my account

Audio-Only Content Needs Clear Categorization — Current Policy Is Inconsistent and Misleading

I’m requesting that IMDb create a distinct media schema for audio-only content, including audio dramas, radio plays, and podcasts. Currently, only podcasts are officially allowed under IMDb’s 2020 policy update. But in practice, many non-podcast audio dramas have been added anyway—often mislabeled

Genres/subgenres should be logical

(This is partly from a previous post, but I am afraid that it has been lost or ignored.) Three major problems with the relationship of genes to subgenus, and vice versa: First, If a subgenre/keyword has a genre as an addendum, that specific title should also have that addendum as a genre. This i

“Report this” in the Trivia section needs a “Series spoiler” option

Sometimes an item on the Trivia page for an episode can contain spoilers about events later on in the series, like “When this person does that it foreshadows his dead three episode hence.” Even if the item is place in the spoiler section of the episode’s Trivia page it ruins one’s enjoyment/surprise
