Can I integrate my IMDB account with a parental rating provider like https://www.commonsensemedia.org/
I see the small parental notification link under STORYLINE, "Parents Guide: View Content Advisory" but it seldom has sufficient information. It's left to volunteers to update. I would rather link my account to a service like Common Sense Media. Do you have an option for this? Can you make one?

General Concerns Regarding IMDB's Mission:
Greetings, I hope Col Needham is able to review these thoughts, as I believe they echo many sentiments of the community at large. As a filmmaker in 2009, I attempted to get a project listed on IMDB that I was passionate about and in the process of submitting to festivals, etc. At the time, I remembe

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.

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 on

Multiple roles for same actor with an Attribute for each role
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 listed o

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. For example, trivia items describing what happens to certain characters in future episodes and the such. In some cases I suppose people just aren't aware they're ruining it for
