Adjust Content Warning
One of the issues I run into when trying to mentally prepare for tough movies is knowing if the movie is mentally safe for me to watch and how I need to prepare myself. I live with and manage a lot of traumas and know my triggers. Unfortunately, the IMDB content warning components are geared towards

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.

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-
