This is completely untrue. I am looking at my friend's facebook wall right now and it says "rated this movie 7/10 stars." This is from 6 hours ago. His ratings from yesterday and the day before show up as well, and look exactly the same as always. As you can see from the attached photo, this functionality still works. We just need IMDb to tell us how to correct the issue. They did not disable this feature, nor did Facebook.
Lindsay,
Facebook may have missed your friends ratings posts, or they may be queued for future deletion. Regardless, the issue is entirely in Facebook's hands. You should contact them directly via https://www.facebook.com/help/ with any questions or concerns regarding their new posting policy.

I was able to find additional details regarding the new FB policy.
The issue relates specifically to Facebook Platform Policy 2.3:
"Words in the user message field must be composed by the user and can’t be pre-filled by the app, even if the user can edit or delete the words."
See platform policy 2.3 here.
A video describing the situation regarding prefilling the message parameter can be found here.

IMDb has stopped posting to Facebook all together....and I am not even sure why.... It would be nice to get an explanation as to why I cannot permit IMDb to post to my FB....
Damion,
What exactly do mean by "IMDb has stopped posting to Facebook all together". You should still be able to open a facebook share dialog and write your own post. If Facebook has completely eliminated our ability to post, this is news to me.

Due to Facebook policy, IMDb will no longer automatically post Watchlist
Adds, Ratings, or Check-ins to users Facebook accounts.
Users may continue to share and like movies and people on IMDb and those will be posted to their Facebook account as before.

Thank you for the detailed explanation. A month later but it's okay. I've found the share button far more useful than the automatic post to wall feature. It's actually been fun writing mini reviews.
Doesn't make up for losing more than a years worth of ratings on my wall though. A big fail for both companies there.

This does not make sense. It only says the user has to be in control of the message parameter, not the post itself. So the rating could be a post.

I respect not posting to Facebook automatically, even if it doesn't really make sense if I choose to link my accounts, but what I don't understand is not offering to post to Facebook if I WANT to...even if I have to confirm this each and every time....
Posting should be brought back ASAP...especially with GetGlue and TVTag gone... One of the main reasons I would do anything on IMDb was to share it with my FB community as well.

If IMDb can't post automatically anymore, fine, but contacting facebook/help is not a way to solve this.
Since the policy states that the app can't fill the comment on the post automatically, IMDb could create a share button with the pre filled text so we could just confirm. This wouldn't be violating the policy and would solve everyone's problem.
What do you think?
