IMDB, please save your reputation: stop the user rating sabotage

The deliberate, politically motivated sabotage of movies like The Last Jedi & Black Panther is blindingly obvious to all. The trolls even claim credit for their actions, and the IMDB user ratings do not line up with any other gauge of these movies' overall success & public receptions. IMDB,

An idea regarding sorting of review ratings

Hi, In the "reviews" -section of IMDb movie pages there are five filters to sort the reviews with: Featured, Review date, Total votes, Prolific reviewer, and Review rating.

Top Gear (2016-?)

Considering there are brand new hosts, IMDb should create a new page for Top Gear so that the older higher rated show won't be tainted by the horrible reviews the new series will be generating.

There needs to be a "report this review" option for racist and offensive reviews.

I'm sorry but this website needs more regulation for offensive reviews. We do not want to stifle free speech but on the other hand there has grown to be a disgusting amount of racism, sexism, homophobia and whatever other forms of prejudicial statements all over this website over the last few years

My Review Hasn't Been Posted Yet

I'd like to request IMDB to post my recent review on the site. The contribution # is 231122-102647-646204. It's been a while and the review hasn't been posted yet. Usually the reviews appear at once on the site. Thanks.

Reporting Bot Ratings

Hello, I have searched and don't know where to report this -- a small indie film I worked on got upwards of 80+ negative reviews overnight and tanked our rating (all 1 and 2 stars). None of them are listed in the demographics when we look at the data, and given how many and how quickly they all appe

Blacklist spam review sites?

I've noticed that for almost every popular, new movie, under "Critic/External Reviews", a few spam sites keep posting links to their illegal reposts of professional, copyrighted reviews, possibly as clickbait. For example, I've since deleted: Brights Hub [Ella Smith] --> Collider (not even a
