Abuse of the 'Edit Description' movie entries

lately, a lot of movies who have incorrect cast lists due to IMDB's partial alphabetical or first-billed problem are getting 'Where is Sean Connery??' or 'Where is Keanu Reeves??" or 'Where is Christopher Walken??' put into their title descriptions.

Whoever is doing this, it is my understanding the casting and tags list are going to be 'improved' to make them fully user-editable and we can then fix up the cast lists that are messed up because of the IMDB integration (go to IMDB link, you also notice all those actors are missing, unless you click on FULL CAST). In the meantime, adding all those comments make the site appear crusty. Please only use that area for proper movie description, as too much abuse of that part may force the listal developer to block user-editable areas and/or go into a moderation type of site.

If you have a beef about some of your fave movies missing key actors, (and believe me, I'm on your side on this, I find it incredibly annoying that Keanu Reeves isnt even listed in either of the last two matrix films), please voice your concerns, as i have previously, in this Listal Development group. The more people post on here and complain, the faster changes may be implemented. ;) But at its root, its an IMDB integration problem, and to the best of my knowledge, it IS being looked at for improvement.

Good effort, but I'm pretty sure that who ever is doing it would never ever think of checking the development forum.

Am I misunderstanding, but from your description it sounds like they're manually re-entering movies (and we are talking movies and not dvds) that already exist?

sorry, i should've give examples:

Well, I don't think it's as bad as you think. I just re-edited Pulp Fiction back to blank. If you see something eroneous, clean it up. Just...tread lightly.

I never said it was really a 'bad' abuse, and i do agree that some of the cast lists of popular movies really are butchered up by IMDB, where 'boy in field' get listed while the main actor is missing from the list. LOL

I just thought it's best to post your complaints here, and not in the movie description, as it makes the site look tacky.

But i could've swore there was a description of Pulp Fiction before, so if it was deleted in order to make room for a personal comment, that's pushing 'bad' abuse. If people want a more prominent complaint visible, why no leave that comment about missing actors in Reviews/Comments section?

Any past description that may have been there could have been removed when the Amazon cache was refreshed. Tom said something about keeping record of all the changes made though, so he could have some information about it. ;)
