I'd like to see my stats

I probably should not be suggesting this because they might implement it and then it would reinforce people's social media addiction, which is a bad enough problem already. The whole evil dopamine cycle you know. Fishing for the likes. But I would really like to be able to see the "ratings" of my im

Why we need to put mainstream Hollywood and foreign film IMDB pages on lockdown.

To the IMDB staff and users, recently when I tried to add John Wayne credit to Star Wars IV, I'm unable to. I don't know what happened to Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), Full Cast & Crew to get it locked down. I assume it was past vandalism that caused it to be on lockdown. Anyways since

Preview/Trailer Video Subtitles or Dubbed Selection

Why can not IMDb Preview/Trailer Video's have selectable subtitles or dubbing tracks. After all most, though not all, English movies are subtitled or dubbed and visa versa where non English movies are subtitled or dubbed into English. It would save the trouble of going into YouTube and finding the e

Adult Pages Removing

Hi, I am asking all of the IMDB members to read this post carefully. Aa a result, IMDB will take an action. All of the adult(porn) pages, movies, links, actors, actress, ... should be deleted from IMDB. When there are adult pages here, it means we are making them official. This website is checked by

When creating new keywords, the "did you mean?" suggestions should include the number of titles in parentheses for each existing keyword

This post involves the process by which a contributor tries to add a previously non-existing keyword on IMDb to a title. Since the keyword doesn't already exist and the contributor is essentially creating a new keyword, the system will suggest existing keywords that might be a better fit (or that th

costume-drama (subgenre) should be described as fiction

As a subgenre, "costume-drama" is defined by IMDb as: "A drama set between the middle ages and the start of World War I." To clearly differentiate costume-drama from "costume-drama-history", I suggest changing the description to: "A fictional drama set between the middle ages and the start of World

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

Submission of Just the Birthday

Hi, Considering the recent update presented by IMDB to all IMDBPro users that they can hide their year of birth (age), us contributors should be able to do this, too. I mean, we should be able to add the birthday of someone without entering the year, but the current system won't allow this. I believ

Issue + idea regarding clarifying specific problems with reviews

Dear IMDB. For a while now you've been changing your website. You've made it harder to post reviews. Your moderators seem to pay very close attention to specific wording. It is not that easy to make quick changes to reviews anymore. Being able to moderate reviews one has posted and editing them in t

Posting Still Images: file size

message today, posting movie stills in JPG format " "Error uploading image Images must be between 50kB and 12MB in size" The 24kB images are nicely hi-def really. I don't see any problem with them. Can this size requirement be reviewed and downsized? It seems like the .JPG is pretty compact, but giv
