IMDb Won't Let Me Remove the False "Adult" Label From An HBO Documentary Special

Downtown Girls: The Hookers of Honolulu is a 2005 HBO documentary special aired under their America Undercover series of documentaries: https://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2005/Aug/14/il/508140305.html

It is currently listed as an "adult" title on IMDb, and IMDb will not let me remove this false label (#250206-194349-954000). The "adult" label is for hardcore pornography. TV documentaries about prostitution do not even remotely qualify for this label. While this is certainly not for kids, it is certainly not pornography either.

In addition, several more corrections that I've made have been rejected as well: #250123-212751-184000, #250125-233315-303000, #250205-000137-351000, #250207-041446-425000, and #250209-211004-957000.

@Maya I was not altering or deleting correct/factual information. All of my contributions were altering/deleting false information. Can you please tell me how any of my contributions were removing accurate information? Because I can assure you that they were not.

In addition, two more of my submissions have now been declined: #250211-191746-692000 and #250212-042229-685000.

@Madotsuki_the_Dreamer2 Hi-

As mentioned in our previous reply, it is our policy not to alter or delete any kind of correct/factual information from our records.

As per the first submission, this is a duplicate as this title already has the certificate for Australia.

Cheers!

@Maya Once again, I AM NOT TRYING TO DELETE CORRECT/FACTUAL INFORMATION. I am trying to delete FALSE information. Please stop giving me these copy-and-pasted responses that completely ignore what I'm saying.

Happy Tree Friends and Friends was never aired outside of the US and was never given any ratings other than the TV-14 rating that it was given when it aired on G4 in the US. The non-US ratings listed on the show's IMDb page are fake.

Learning with Pibby: Apocalypse is a 2-minute animated internet short that was never submitted for a rating anywhere and contains no explicit content. All of the ratings listed on this film's IMDb page are fake ones that were added by someone attempting to hype the film up.

Samsonadzeebi is a Georgian television series that never aired outside of the Republic of Georgia and, as such, was never given a US TV rating. The US TV-MA rating listed on the show's IMDb page is fake. Previously, I had removed a fake US TV-Y7 rating from the show's IMDb page (and IMDb tried to decline that at first too; I had to make a post on here about it).

The Big Lez Show is a web series made for YouTube and never submitted for a rating anywhere. It was never released in any form outside of YouTube. All of the ratings listed on the show's IMDb page are fake.
