Lemme guess.
Reject as improperly formatted?

Mat? Really? You have to ask?
Really bad movie about not very bright people doing obnoxious stupid things with a script consisting of endless passages of swearing strung together. Boring to see and listen to, however true to life it may be . Way, Way, Way too long.

f-ing shouldn't be the reason as I and many others have had it approved before.  f and bombs are not obscene written as such, and improper spelling and capitalization is very common in approved reviews.  so thnx for trying to help, but I can't see how your answer shows my violating policy here

If yours have been approved with that kind of language inclusion.  Prove it. What is your user account URL?

How can one believe what you say. Reviews written like that should not be live.

Hi Matt -

Assuming that you are referring to a submitted User Review, I would encourage you to look at our User Review Guidelines: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/user-review-guidelines/GABTWSNLD...# (specifically the section "What not to include")

As Ed mentioned above, profanity does violate our guidelines.

Matt, assuming your question is serious, maybe IMDb isn't the best website for you to submit reviews to. There are other websites out there that will let you use the words you're using.
