I submitted this review 3 times and they keep removing it for no reason: "Your contribution has been declined. We did not capture a specific reason during processing." I don't understand why this review keeps getting deleted. The first time they

At the weekend, I watched Scoop about Prince Andrew's interview with Emily Maitlis. It was declined. Why, I have no idea and blandly informing us declinees that 'it does not meet "submission guidelines" ' is more than pointless: how are we to know that boundary we crossed so that we can edit our rev

It was strange, because that review has nothing that may clash with the contribution guidelines. So, I re-posted, and unfortunately it got rejec

I've been noticing random reviews taken down. Many have been restored by IMDb after it was determined they were removed incorrectly. I use IMDb to store all of my opinions. And then they are deleted. Without notice. Here is another example. I found my review on an archival website, but it only arch

I was just checking recommendations and came across a movie called "Sound of Freedom" which I had never heard about and had a good score with a lot of reviews. Over 50% of 10 is let's just say... unusual, especially with a metascore of 36 but reading the reviews, I started noticing a repetition of k

IMDb needs to put out guidelines for ratings. If you give a move a 1 out of 10, that should mean you walked out of the movie in the first 30 minutes and demanded your money back. A 10 should mean it’s one of the best movies you’ve ever seen. I just looked at the reviews for Avengers Endgame and ther
