Suspicious Downvoting
I regularly review UK comedies and dramas as they come out. I have noticed in the last few months that within a day or two or posting all of my reviews are downvoted in a straight sequence of 10-12 in a matter of minutes that is completely at odds with the spilt of the previous votes, often taking m

Review Submitted but no Confirmation E-Mail
Hello, I regularly submit reviews on IMDb, sometimes they're published almost instantly, sometimes it takes a few hours / days but that's the first time I don't even get a confirmation e-mail with the update receipt number after submitting it. Which explains why my review didn't get published after

Continual vandalism and spam of IMDb pages
Over the past couple of weeks, I have noticed continual false credits relating to some British celebrities and TV shows (most often Ant and Dec, the members of the pop group Steps, Strictly Come Dancing, Saturday Night Takeaway, Gogglebox, SMTV, Drag Race etc). Based on the reviews of some of the

Can't find a LOT of movies and series on IMDb
I have signed up for streaming channel MHz, which only shows FOREIGN MOVIES and SERIES. When I look to see reviews or ratings, IMDb does NOT seem to cover most of the movies or series that I am looking for. For example, MHz is starting to show the German drama "TURNCOAT". Also, "Allmen and the

My review keeps getting deleted
On May 6, I submitted a review of Superhero Kindergarten, but it was taken down. I submitted another one on May 22, but it was taken down again, for absolutely no reason as shown in the pictures. This is a very bad look and counts as censorship. I did not violate any of IMDB's revi

More options under "report a review"
When you read one of these reviews that is suspiciously fake, when you click on "report this review" one of the options in the drop down should be "suspiciously fake" Right now none of the options really address the fake review problem on IMDB. I would also recommend that once a person has marked a

Fake review remedy
Our film the The Accidental President has 61% 5 star reviews on Amazon.com (owner of iMDB) from verified purchases. It's a balanced film looking at the 2016 election. However, we know from a lot of abuse we get from people that assume the film is a hit-job on Trump. It isn't. Clearly there is consid

Mandatory reason for decline
Hello,I'd like to suggest a simple thing: when a review gets declined, there should be a mandatory reason mentioning the reason for. Otherwise it seems more and more that reviews are being removed because someone decided to. I am giving an example for my last one that got declined after being approv

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
