I haven't done a lot of reviews, probably less than 10, but I certainly have done more than just a single review. I don't spend a lot of time here either, so I don't stay up on a lot of the current "state of affairs" for IMDb if you will. These reviews had posted, yet when I looked today, there

Hello community - we would truly appreciate someone's help on this matter as it is pressing for us and our independent production company. This post concerns our film KNOW FEAR, film page is here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9191700/ Our film had well over 1,450 user reviews and yesterday we ch

I have already brought this issue up and I see many others have the exact same issue of getting reviews approved and then deleted. I was even told by a moderator that there was nothing wrong with my review, but it has been reposted 6-7 times and approved, BUT deleted within a few days afterwards.

#230204-222614-273804 Please explain which part of this constitutes a film review, a ‘critical evaluation’? ”The setting was excellent”. Is that really it? An IMDb user, trying to decide on an evening’s viewing, is concerned only with the setting? ”Hmm … horror? … romance? … historical dram

I challenged a review - #230224-203535-097504 - and my challenge was rejected. I gave examples of where it was factually inaccurate, wrongly claiming that slavery ended in the US in the twentieth century, and that Charles Dickens was still writing long after his death. These untruths were used as

Suggestion for improving usefulness of reviews: Along with the IMDB User's ID, include the age range of the viewer, and their location.  For example, I am RWillis, 40-50, Canada.   The movies I liked as a teenager are vastly different than the ones I like as a 40-something.  I'm

How do I find out why a review has been removed? I have recently made a review(3 times now) that have been removed. I am very curious as to why. My review was simple and did not break any rules that i could imagine, no curses or anything mean or bad in any way, no spoiler. I simply stated a few reas

Hello I have attempted to submit edits to a movie review 3 times now over the past several days and the changes aren't being made. Usually the changes are made within minutes. Is anybody else having this problem? There is nothing controversial, obscene or offensive in my review either. ANy help w

Hey there IMDB community, This is probably a common issue. A short film I made with a favourable rating above 7... suddenly and inexplicably dropped down to around 4.0 after 20   1-star ratings were added overnight. Since this was long after our festival run and not available online, it
