IMDb Review Problem

Hello,

I’ve recently noticed that when submitting reviews containing colons or dashes, the submission is rejected, with a message stating that these cannot be included in reviews.

However, when retroactively editing an already approved review, colons and dashes can be added without issue. This inconsistency suggests the restriction is not intentional or is being incorrectly applied at the submission stage.

Colons and dashes are standard grammatical punctuation. Disallowing them during submission results in reviews being unnecessarily restricted or grammatically incorrect.

I’d appreciate it if this issue could be reviewed and addressed.

Thank you
