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.
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.
You can contact Facebook directly via https://www.facebook.com/help/ with any questions or concerns regarding their posting policy.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

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.
(Edited)
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.
