Remove Uninteresting Trivia
What's the point of being able to select whether you think a piece of trivia for a film or TV title is interesting or uninteresting? How about if 50 or more people think a particular trivia item is uninteresting, it is then deleted?

Why make editing impossibly difficult?
I've been on many, many sites with information stored in a database, and I find IMDB the most complicated, confusing, and awkward to modify by far. I don't understand why it has to be thus. It's 2017. Time for a people-friendly site, folks.Thank you for your understanding,Steve

Kill bogus reviews
Eliminate Bogus "Agenda" Reviews on IMDB. Seems there are more and more movies "rated" by creators, employees, family, friends of the producers / actors / crew, etc. Perhaps an IMDB policy should be set in which they have to agree-- every review-- that they are in no way connected to t

Expand the "provide an explanation to assist in processing this change" option for other site templates
Whenever I submit biographical info for an actor/actress there's always an option just below the entry slot - "provide an explanation to assist in processing this change" whereby I can qualify my contribution with the addition of an URL, etc. Why isn't that same option available when submitting tr

Only allow critics to post ratings for upcoming movies
Rogue One had a 7.6 rating the last time I checked (12/13/16) which is definitely strange for a Star Wars film, especially that of which is receiving pretty good reviews for the most part. If you check the analytics for the review score, you'll find 1,000 or so "10" ratings and the same amount of "1
