None of my reviews get published
I have written over a handful of reviews which never get published. They aren't offensive and they don't contain spoilers. I don't understand why they never get posted and I have never been given a reason as to why. It's frustrating to take the time to put thought into writing a review just for your

Selection of featured audience reviews looks biased
I have looked at the criteria for how IMDb picks the 'featured' audience reviews for movies and series, and it seems that they are not followed at all. It sure looks like someone at IMDb just plucks a review out based on their own bias, whether that be positive or negative. A recent example (out of

Someone came to my profile and marked all my reviews unhelpful. Will it have any impact on my future reviews?
So someone came to my profile and marked all my reviews unhelpful. I'm guessing this person must have been offended since I gave a bad review to a movie/show/game that he/she liked, so this person came in a fit of anger and went to my profile and marked all my reviews as unhelpful. As you can s

The Kashmir Files (2022) Fake reviews
In less than 24 hours, I know for certain because I checked just yesterday, this film has received a flood of positive reviews (10/10). It has garnered over 500,000 reviews, which is remarkable for a film that's only a year old, as typically only very old films (and very good ones) have over 500,000

Reviews being deleted after weeks of being validated and published.
On multiple occasions, reviews that I made in the past are getting canceled with reason "not specified". Mind you, those are reviews that are following the guidelines and are passing the initial validation. Happened few times in the past 2 months, some times for the exact same content. review >

Noticed a bunch of my reviews have been downvoted
Hello fellow IMDb users. My user name is kingofdanerds and I am a teenage film fanatic. I review movies in my spare time and I have fun doing so. I don't get too much feedback on my reviews. Until today when I noticed a vast majority of my reviews were all given downvotes (or basically said that the

External reviews on Google Drive
I have noticed a few links on External Reviews pages which are links to Google Drives. For example, for Think Like a Man (2012), one of the external links is a link to https://drive.google.com/drive/search?q=tt1621045. This is not a publicly available review; the only way that one will find a review

My reviews are being removed for no apparent reason
Hi there, I signed up a couple of months ago to write some reviews, posting two of them thus far. However today I noticed that despite these reviews going through the initial content check, they later disappeared. This is confusing because neither of them contained anything that would merit censor
