Like reviews of recent, my submission (#190109-171439-177504) was declined on the basis of “Bad formatting”. I clicked on the ‘guidelines’ link that was presented with the notification only to find a glut of blurb with no further indication nor link to rules for formatting.
I can see no problem with my formatting. Could someone please explain why - of recent - I seem to be getting victimised and/or bullied with this incessant declining of my submissions?

On another note, my review of "Bird Box"
has just been declined on the basis of "Badly Formatted"...!

Apologies for Act_1
He means well.
Have been trying to get him to "SPEAK" for some time!
His data can be a little unusual when seeking help.
He speaks by way of data that is usually out of context.
I took me a while to just get used to his help.
Sometimes it helps a lot.
I have tried to ask him to give his unique type of help, only when needed.
Sorry.
Daniele,
Could you post the text of the Review?
It Helps to see it.
Can give you some advice as to what fly's and what won't.
Cheers.

karrotts reply is an intimidation tactical response to see if somebody will lose their temper.
But we are all above that.
Ignore that comment.

Remember the Fake Credits one? Isabel?
Read it. Once I made reference to something the replies stopped.
This is the same thing.
I'm smarter than the average bear.
Will not fall into anyone's trap.

[BIRD BOX]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Firstly, in reference to the 'reviewer' who wrote: "You're being trolled by negative reviews"... that is exactly the sort of tasteless (in many ways) typical reviewer who would label dissenters of his/her opinion as 'racists', 'sexists' etc etc etc. As it is, the 'reviewer' is happy to insult anyone who gives a sensible rating appraisal as "...teenage boys who need guns and violence...". How ridiculous and narrow-minded!
The review in question goes on to refer to "clever flashbacks". "Clever flashbacks"??? I'd suggest they were 'confusing and unnecessary flashbacks' that actually served as spoilers for the 'real time-frame' part! The only "clever" attribution was probably the writer and/or director trying - unsuccessfully - to be TOO clever!
"Hollywood's output is littered with trash films"... well, yes, I agree. This film is the latest in Hollywood's incessant litany of trash!
This 'reviewer' obviously has no sense of rational critical assessment whatsoever if he/she genuinely believes (with a '9' rating) that the film is on a par with - for example - Citizen Kane, The Apartment, Taxi Driver, and many other 9- and 10-rating deserving classics!
So, yet again, here we have another waste of my time. The concept of the movie has been done so many times in the past, but with fog, rain, zombies etc., and is furthermore filled with the typical shock-style clichés and predictability of similar low-grade movie efforts.
Terrible intelligence-insulting, left-wing propaganda, clichéd, slow, boring, daft and very predictable ‘movie’.
How some people, with obviously no taste nor sense of critical appraisal, can rate it so high (some gave it an 8, 9 and even 10 on IMDB...!) as to equal it with the likes of “Gone With The Wind” , “The Apartment”, “The Godfather”, “Citizen Kane”, etc etc etc... is beyond my comprehension.
So, yet again, here we have another waste of my time. The concept of the movie has been done so many times in the past, but with fog, rain, zombies etc., and is furthermore filled with the typical shock-style clichés and predictability of similar low-grade movie efforts.
It hits a ludicrous level of unbelievability with silly scenes such as the trio falling off the boat and into the raging whitewater and coming up again with their blindfolds intact. In reality, there is no way their blindfolds would’ve stayed on... NO WAY whatsoever! Also (earlier) to ask us to believe the group were able to negotiate their way down the street to the supermarket in the car - totally blind! - is a completely silly ludicrous ask. Similarly, navigating the boat down the river- in effect, BLIND... oh for God’s sake! Gimme a break from this nonsense!
What about the cop and the druggie just disappearing...! No explanation. Well, in that case, what was the point of them being included in the first place then? They gave no depth nor reason to the cockeyed ‘story’.
Later, we’re given no explanation whatsoever why the little boy and little girl haven’t been given proper names... just “boy” and “girl”. Come on! We’re also asked to believe that the three love-birds, having been put through the mill, tossed and turned and battered from pillar to post... are STILL alive at the end, they survive it all! The director missed a trick here... if she’d made them parrots, you could say they’d ‘survived to tell the tale’!
Neither is there any explanation as to what’s going on. What are these demons/aliens? I think the reason is a political one... in other words, could the whole concept of the invading aliens be a projection of yet more left-wing, globalist, anti-white, political propaganda set to try and influence society? Hmmm... I’ll say no more.
Rubbish movies often contain rubbish acting... well I wasn’t disappointed, the acting wasn’t great although it could have been worse. So, no more than a basic 1 point on the rating scoreboard for that. A further score-point just has to be removed for an ending that smacked heavily of more left-wing political belching, promoting a multiculturalism homogenisation of society... and how nice we'd all be as one. Simple... guff!
Overall though, a completely, slow, boring, terribly clichéd, corny, daft, unsatisfying, unsatisfactory and disappointing attempt at a movie.
If people are easily pleased and unable to give a sensible - comparative - appraisal... I give them my blessing, they can watch the film to their heart’s brain-numbing content.
If, however, they have a keen sense of critical movie appraisal, and have great respect for the quality of *true* classics... I happily suggest they don’t waste their time.
This film, a poor attempt at ‘Hitchcockian’ suspense, is testament to badly thought out scripting and directing.
Hitchcock will be spinning in his grave.
I paraphrase another reviewer who - somewhere - said: 'It would be better watched blindfolded!' He was so right!
THIS... FILM... IS... TRASH!

Also, though, what’s that got to do with “bad formatting”? Formatting is the mechanical adjustment/manipulation of text. Very misleading.
Ok, I’ll re-edit and re-submit in the afternoon. Off to sleep now.
Thanks.

Instead of detailed continuity gaffs.
Just say "Annoying multiple continuity gaffs abound".
Tighten and compact your review.
Things like this should also be left out

What passed before is being rejected now.
They are making attempts to address the overflow of the Netflix reviewers that were never approved or denied their submissions. They are a little over correcting. Netflix removed all reviews and this place has been flooded with bad reviews from those contributors that did not pass any real scrutiny.
Because of those reviewers, standard of approval has been toughened.
Cheers.
Happy Editing!

Awful and pretentious!
11 January 2019
I remember reading somewhere, that "Hollywood's output is littered with trash films"
well yes, I agree, and this film is the latest trash offering
in Hollywood's incessant litany of trash!
The film is full of flashbacks, with nothing clever about them
just confusion initiated by a director trying to be too clever,
and winding up unsuccessfully so....
I paraphrase someone else who - somewhere - said:
'It would be better watched blindfolded!' He was so right!
