The protocol for submitting trivia with spoilers is a little opaque.
When going through the natural course of submitting a trivia item to an episode or film page, IMDb users can easily go through the whole process without encountering one indication they should format their item differently if it contains spoilers, or that there is even a means to do so.The only plac

Reviews
Fake reviews are getting out of hand. I think its time to require a scanned ticket to make a review. Fake reviews and targeting a movie should not affect the box office takes and sadly it is. Installing scanning software to scan a valid ticket is the way of the future and will give imdb a leg up o

Sometimes, when you have a single actor playing multiple roles, you want to give a different Attribute to each role.For instance one actor playing Tom, Dick & Harry where Tom is credited but Dick is (uncredited) and Harry is a (credit only) performance because the role was cut but is still liste

Nasty surprise-spoilers in trivia items.
I've been encountering too many trivia items recently, which contain spoilers which aren't covered by the spoilers warning.

I am at a loss at why many of my valid contributions, (most of which I actually have verifiable proof, including both pictures and video clips of),are being denied without any specific reason as to why they are being denied! If there was a forum set up for us the contributors to send not only their

Cast order - Form improvements
When editing the cast members, a contributor has the option to order them by numbers or to leave the field blank. No matter how, but the field may be left blank unintentionally for one upto all credit(s). To enhance the overall quality of such activity, I'd like to suggest for the IMDb-developers' c

Please add the option to add landscape quad posters to title page Primary poster contributions - for UK filmmakers
I cannot add my poster image to my IMDB page without it being cropped - there is no option for a Primary UK quad landscape poster - please support me to get this added for UK filmmakers and others as not everyone only creates a portrait image. Thanks

Please allow to delete data contributions
It would be really nice to delete a contribution already submitted. Not the reference. The actual contribution. Because sometimes something is submitted incorrectly, and i have to wait until it is approved or declined. I don't want to re-edit. The option to delete it completely should be there.

Transliterated Greek AKAs.
Transliterated Greek AKAs should not be used as IMDB display title when a Greek ISO 8859-7 title is available. The transliterated Greek is not an option anymore in title description so some users select imdb display title which is wrong. Please include transliterated Greek as an option.
