This user id:  http://www.imdb.com/user/ur65606745/ is obviously bogus and was apparently reported to you by at least one other member. The page was created only 1 year ago but claims 25+ years of contributions. Please correct.  I was away from IMDB for quite awhile. When I returned noted only had "you" stopped the message boards that were attached to the entrys but the database seems to be more open to sabotage than I last remembered it. Bogus and duplicate entries. Head shots and other photos have disappeared. Etc.  I will help where I can but I need to know where is the best place to submit the errors. Trying to delete a bogus entry on the page doesn't seem to work and merging isn't always appropriate. Please let me know. Thanks.

The page you are reporting is a user activity page.  Badges are assigned based on actual site activity so the owning customer makes no bogus claims, sorry. Please see http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?badges  and http://www.imdb.com/badge/ 

In this particular case, all the activity page states is the customer joined IMDb in February 2016, and since then they have added more than 10 images and more than 25 filmography credits, making a total of more than 25 items in total.  The counts are in terms of items not years, for comparison, please see my activity page at http://www.imdb.com/user/ur1000000/

Sorry about the perceived photo situation.  Are there specific photos which you think are now missing? In the last two years we have added more photos to IMDb than we have added in the entire previous 25 years, and the rate of image growth is increasing.  While it is possible individual people may have chosen not to renew their IMDbPro subscriptions, overall there are vastly more photos on IMDb than two years ago. 

If there is further specific sabotage you wish to report then for a general guide to adding / updating information, please see http://www.imdb.com/help/?adding/

Hope this helps.
