Solved

user keeps turning titles which are not TV series into TV series and IMDB keeps approving them until I revert, Part 2

Hello,

A few months back I detailed this prevalent issue and thankfully was able to get it resolved with the help of @Bethanny and @Maya on the 20+ fake "TV series" I mentioned.

Unfortunately it looks like someone is at it again and keeps turning the three French Flair de Famille TV Movies into a TV series.

I have on at least 3 separate occasions reverted them back to being TV Movies, only to find them put back as TV series a few hours later.

The first film was shot in August 2022, broadcast in April 2023.

The second was shot in June 2023, broadcast in January 2024.

The third was shot in May 2024, broadcast in December 2024.

Three films, shot and broadcast a year apart from each other do not a make a TV series! They are TV movies that are sequels to one another.

So please, as previously, "lock" these titles as TV movies so someone won't come afterwards to change the title type on a whim. The correct titles for each of the three films are:

  • Flair de Famille
  • Flair de Famille: Envies de Meurtres
  • Flair de Famille: Guet-Apens

Thank you.

Hi jean_morel-

Thank you for reporting and for the information! Further investigating, can confirm that these titles have now been changed back respectively as how they were originally released, individual TV movies.

All the changes will be live on the site shortly. 

Cheers!

Hi @Maya​,

If all you do is change the titles back, without putting some kind of permanent block on it, it's only a matter of time before the same user(s) who made the erroneous edits before will do it again. According to @jean_morel, this is at least the fourth time these titles have had to be corrected. I've had it happen before where I had to reopen a thread marked as 'solved' because employees ignored my warnings and offered up only a temporary solution. Please don't ignore this one.

@majfoalbkeopaza​ Hi-

Thank you for the feedback! The respective warnings/actions were set on these titles already after changing them back to prevent further incorrect changes. 

Cheers!

Thanks @Maya, however it seems that despite "warnings/actions being set on these titles", at least one of the fake "series" we corrected has returned to IMDB, with 9 out of 10 movies having been bundled back into it as "Crimes à..." (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35883324/ - I don't seem to be able to insert a link anymore?). Please get the 9 titles reverted back to TV movies and I guess there needs to be a sterner warning in place.

@jean_morel- Thank you for reporting! All the 9 titles have been reverted back and the changes are still in-progress but will be live on the site shortly. We have taken more measures on these titles and have also reached out to another of the contributors. Cheers!

@Maya Thanks! I assume you the contributor you reached out to is the one who keeps turning these TV movies into TV series. Hopefully they get the message.
