Data Issues & Policy Discussions

I've noticed that if I review a film honestly, using every day words (not vulgarities), and, perhaps, sometimes using acronyms for phrases that I know IMDB will flag (but not putting the acronyms in caps), IMDB will decline the review. It's really hard for me to understand why. I have seen so many r

Hi, my review (my account https://www.imdb.com/user/ur43903214/?ref_=nv_usr_prof_2 ) for this movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4697586/ was submitted twice but both times nothing happened (I just received the email receipt). I'm really wondering if there's a bug with this database entry because th

This is not the first time that I have had to re-submit a review multiple times in order for it to be published, while I can find absolutely nothing within the text that breaks your TOS. The first few reviews, I noted that I had to remove any and all "foul language", despite this not being in your T

Not getting a review-denied response, leaves people unaware that they need to give their review another go,.. ... and that's even if expecting (unreasonably) that they will be necessarily able to work out what they did wrong. Having to keep copies yourself, should not be necessary, if IMDB jus

I wrote a review on the Netflix show Sex Education, at the time it did not occur to me that it would be such a big deal, as I am not from the U.S. How touchy the subject was occured to me after my review was declined. I did not attack anyone in particular but just called the show a bit shallow for

The following review I posted for the movie The Man from Earth (2007) has been declined with the following explanation: "Reason: Does not meet contribution guidelines. Your contribution has been declined. Your submission conflicted with one or more of our policies as stated in our User Review Submi

THIS was submitted as a "Review" of the movie MURDER WITH MIRRORS.  It is NOT a review of a the movie but instead a Political Rant  that has NOTHING to do with the movie.   Yet because it is a Leftist Rant, IMDb refuses to delete this nonsense.  I THOUGHT reviews were suppo

My review of The Batman has gone. It meets with the rules, it had a lot of reactions. It has gone. I would like it to be reinstated with the reactions. I have had the same issues with my Spiderman: No Way Home review. That has never been reinstated when it was taken off a few weeks ago.
