Removing the Previews from the Reviews

I look forward to the external Reviews, but what is frustrating beyond belief are all the Previews trying to masquerade as an actual Review of the entire film project. Way back when I would find a bunch for a film of television release and submit for their removal, only to discover another producti

Do mods check reviews?

I’ve reported about 50 reviews on one title that break all sorts of rules for profanities, drawing comparisons to real world events (such as terrorism and war) and for blatent sexism and racism. I know mods are busy but many of these reviews should not have been approved in the first place.

Is there a way to report obvious paid reviews?

There was this horrible movie where all the reviews were either 1-2 stars, or 10 stars.

Unintelligible Reviews - #230322-225018-979404

I suggested deleting a review - #230322-225018-979404 - because the English is so bad as to make it unintelligible. Your response was that MY comment did not meet submission guidelines.

IMDB censoring my reviews

IMDB keeps censoring my review of the Sandman TV series because I pointed out how about a third of the cast is black when they only represent 12% of the US population. It’s truth. Look the stats up and then count how many blacks are represented in this series. I have nothing against blacks, I
