23 August 2025 #250823-004038-313000, declined

Hi My contribution for 28 Years Later was denied. It seems the person in charge of denials and approvals has an issue with me because this person denies every contribution for trivia I've made in rapid fire. And I had to argue this over and over again resulting in at least one being reconsidered because somebody else concluded that it did, in fact, meet your criteria The contribution I submitted that was declined met your protocol and your rules. It's not an opinion. And half of the contributions made in trivia are based on opinion, anyway. TRIVIA ADDITION The premise that living on the island provides security is flawed, because at low tide the footpath from the mainland to the island is visible and accessible. The infected, especially lead by a more intelligent Alpha would've discovered that Achilles Heel years ago and exploited this vulnerability. The only thing that would've stood between scores or even hundreds of infected and the islands inhabitants would've been a wooden wall and a hope it would hold against the weight and pressure applied to it by many raging maniacal infected trying to breach it. Reason Does not meet contribution guidelines. Your contribution has been declined.

Hi Cousinvin62, The reason for this contribution being declined is because the content submitted is not considered trivia, nor does it meet the eligibility criteria for a goof, and is more of an opinion based on the creative license of the film's writing/direction. If anywhere, this could be something added to the FAQ section for the title, worded differently to fit the format of this section. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10548174/faq/ I hope this helps!

As you can see by my history I've made a lot of contributions, most of which have been approved. And I've read a lot of contributions and in one form or another a lot of them are interlaced with some sort of an opinion. But I've never run into such a roadblock of trivia contributions being declined as I have when submitting trivia of contributions for 28 Years Later. I've submitted at least 5 or 6 and they've all been initially declined, usually because whoever is doing it claims it's an opinion. I had to contest several of them and one of them ultimately was approved, which throws the initial judgment of declination of the person who originally declined it, out the window. Again, I don't know if one person is in charge of this movie and is the judge and jury but for some reason this person seems to have a problem with everything I've submitted to the movie when it comes to trivia.

Hi Cousinvin62, I cannot speak to the pattern you have observed when submitting trivia items to this title, other than reassure you that there is no bias or prejudice made by our teams when processing contributions. Trivia is often subjective, and whilst it can occasionally feature opinion, it should not be solely opinionated, or contain speculation, conjecture, etc. Therefore, in regards to this particular contribution, it was declined because its content is wholly an opinion, and is not considered trivia by our guidelines or criteria. https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/trivia/G42ZNVNNQT6P78FE# Thank you for your understanding.
