Reviews: Add an option to mark reviews as private

Since last night, the last 25 reviews I wrote were downvoted by one person. (I stopped counting at 25.) The vast majority had no votes whatsoever until today. It must be the same person who did that. Downvotes are no big deal to me, but I think it's juvenile what someone did. My privacy setting for

Suggestion: Word-based audio as a separate type

I first put forward this suggestion more than 20 years ago, and unfortunately, nothing has happened since then, so I'm doing it again. A film ultimately consists of two things: words and images. Silent films have always been accepted. Now, in the form of podcasts, pure audio is also accepted. I've a

Disney Plus watch option

I really think IMDb should have a Disney Plus watch option, so that people (Disney Plus subscribers or not) will have better assurance of these specific movies or TV shows' existence and availability to watch. And of course for Disney Plus subscribers to select.

Image categorization is entirely overdue. That, or scorecard permissions should be shared much more liberally to promote equal opportunity.

Scorecard helps de-clutter a lot on the site data-wise and also prevents the extremely ill-phrased "Publicity" filter/type on filmmakers' pages that is a result of self-uploading.Referring to self uploads as "publicity" is just ... wrong. It's not even the correct phrasing. Why on earth default it t

Label shell episodes and prevent new information from appearing on them

I'd like to see IMDb label shell episodes as such and prevent new information from appearing on them. The staff may want to disable editing capability (except for title, date, movie connections and trivia) on shell episodes and clearly label them as shells. All the shells are doing now is confuse us

Awards Submissions for Credits Don't Have A Track Contribution Option

Awards submission for credits down have a track contribution option, and as a result, there's no way to find out if submission has been accepted (other than checking individual pages) and if it's been rejected, there's no way to find out why or what additional information is needed. Every other type

Trailing slashes in episode titles

It would be nice if trailing slashes in submitted episode titles could be caught before they are published, thanks. #250217-164455-445000 #250215-141238-110000 #250214-153925-913000 #250214-153859-335000 #250211-154907-290000 #250211-154837-042000 #250211-154812-179000 #250211-154749-464000 #250211-

Add production coordinators and team to the "Production Manager" department

Hello! As a production coordinator in the film industry I find it frustrating that my team and I have our credits put under 'Additional Crew', despite being full time and integral to the production. I propose that we either include all production roles in the Production Manager department, or re-nam

Producer order in film credits

Hi Team IMDB. I can see from someone else's question a few months ago (and the IMDB response) that all types of producers are just listed alphabetically under Producers in the Crew section, and it's only Writers and Cast that can be reordered apparently. Could I please ask the Moderators to look at

French certificates (rating) abbreviation

Hi everyone, I noticed that the French ratings are not reported with any abbreviation, unlike the ratings of other countries. Would it be possible to change the French ratings to their abbreviated forms? Indeed, the current French ratings are really too long. Below are the current French ratings and
