There does not seem to be rhyme nor reason to when reviews are posted.
I wrote a review of a film called "Firebird." I have written over 250 reviews of films and posted them on IMDB. Recently 100% of my reviews would be "approved" within several hours and up they went on the site. But my "Firebird" review seems to be stuck in some kind of endless loop.

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 the

Use of Profanity in Reviews - #230415-220322-948204
I recently reported a review - #230415-220322-948204 - for use of profanity: the word “piss”, to be precise. IMDb has a parents’ guide, where people can be warned about profanity used within a script, but the submission guidelines are clear about use elsewhere in the page: “Also, please do not inc
