I wrote a review of a tv show.
Another reviewer didn't agree with my review, which is fine.
What isn't okay, is that they addressed their review directly at me in the title, with my name, and then went on to make spiteful, untrue, slanderous comments about my character in the first part the review, again by my name.
I reported the review as inappropriate.
I received a generic response and the review was not edited or removed.
In the guidelines on Imdb it clearly says to resist commenting on others reviews, and not to be spiteful.
I don't understand how this review, with my name in the title, with the review of that show actually addressed in the title as a response to me, was allowed to be published in the first place.
I don't care what the person said if they didn't mention my name. It could've been inferred and that's fine. When it clearly states my name multiple times, and the commentary is an attack on me for posting my own review of the show, this isn't okay.
Why is it still standing? I asked for it to be edited so my name was taken out. They've done nothing to fix it and appear they won't.
This isn't okay. I thought Imdb was above such gutter behaviour than reviewers being able to attack other reviewers.
It's not okay.

Hi, SandOwl. Well, It could be worse. Regardless, the IMDb registered user who commented on your amount of understanding of life should not be expending words, especially belittling remarks, to refer to other reviews. Did you report the review? If not, then please do, by visiting the corresponding page in desktop version of the site, as apparently the option in not present in the mobile-friendly version.

That's quoting you, from your post here.
But that's what you precisely said about Bruce Jenner. Your comments about his character were out of line. Your review was hateful and insensitive.

You missed the point.
My views were on the show.
I don't care if anyone agrees with my views on the show and those in it.
That great, the more the merrier.
The other reviewers comments were directed at me personally, mentioning my name.
That's against Imdb guidelines.
I said zero negative about Bruce/Caitlin Jenner & I'm not going to respond to such accusations in future.
Either Imdb upholds is own guidelines for everyone, or it ends up in a petty, childish slinging match just like Facebook, Twitter etc

The other persons reply and review was kind and thoughtful. Considering your "supposed review" was spiteful and shall we say vitriolic, the other person showed great restraint.

Oh Boohoo I have famous parents waawaawaa poor me
This show is as bad as it was when it ended 10 years ago.
I nearly threw up in my mouth hearing the Jenner kid go on about how hard his childhood was. You people have no idea what hard is. You really don't. No idea at all.
The glorification of spoilt brats like the Jenner kid, whose personal fame is literally garnered from nothing, is an example of how not to be in life.
The father was an Olympian. Good on him.
The mother made the family famous by exploiting the stupidity, voyeurism, and rubber necking tendencies humans have. Besides the father in sports, those people provided literally nothing of importance to the World. Zero, nadda, zilch. What they have done, is hell to perpetuate a society which is more sick now than its every been. Exploiting people for personal gain is something to be ashamed of, not proud of.
I think this show is about giving these cretinous children of famous families more voice than they deserve or need in the world. Seriously, go away already. We don't need anymore content with them in it.
There are a couple of new faces in the show.
Mischa Barton, good on you for telling that Perez creep to stick it. What a creep he has always been. I avoided that guys website or content life the plague. What a horrid human being. Gross.
Brandon Lee, good on you for doing what you need for yourself and not giving in to peer pressure. Nothing changes of nothing changes eh? Goodluck to you.
I don't recommend this swill. Not at all. Go and do something of value with your life, step outside, look at the sky, talk to a person in real life, clean your bathroom, do some study, read a good, or not so good book, daydream... whatever it is that brings you joy and growth. Don't waste your life on this rubbish.

Review and reply to user sandowl
Love the hills new beginnings, and to see all of them grown up and to be honest I think all of them turned out to be wonderful human Being. I also wanted to reply to user sandowl cause the review he posted i found it te be full of hate with harsh words from someone who clearly doesn't understand anything about life and people,And what life is all about. What it is to be humans no matter who you are and how fortunate you are in a very often cruel world for everyone...
Yes they were fortunate kids now adults they have money, they have good looks, they all have also on top of that really attractive unique personalities that makes them distinctive when you pay attention and try to understand everyone of them... All of them struggled it's not because you have money that life will be easier on you. That you won't struggle with the same kind of things that less fortunate people struggle with especially that people like you judge them really hard.... Money doesn't define you, your character does. And I have to say I was really impress by spencer you do have learned to master your emotions and to let go I bet Costa Rica really helps... hard thing to do... but kudos was a pleasure to watch that... And for Brody do you think it's easy to opened up on tv about how you feel about your dad... NO it's not for anyone.... that's a fact! He did and yes even if he's fortunate that doesn't mean that he can't have the same feelings as every kids having growing up not having a father figure by his side how would you feel not having your dad at your graduation or wedding please... I wish you peace in your heart and a lot of light in your life. Cause everyone no matter who you are deserved it. As I will continue watching the hills I LOVE IT...
Now.
You have nothing to complain about.
Your review is borderline acceptable.

Please stop with the negative comments which are unhelpful & don't address the issue at hand.
Your personal opinion of my review is redundant.
If my review isn't acceptable then Imdb can delete it. No problem.
What you think about the content is irrelevant.
Posting my review here with your negative attitude and bullying intent shows your character, not mine.
Trying to 'teach me a lesson' as you are obviously trying to achieve, shows what type of person you are.
Your actions are no reflection on me as a person.
Your actions belong 100% to you.
I stand by my review. Absolutely. I have nothing to apologise for.
I won't be responding to you again.

Simply pointing out that your claim of being attacked was absurd
By comparing the two reviews you can see how kind the reviewer that you complain about is in comparison to you.
Your reply above here proves this.
Your claim of an attack is baseless.

SandOwl
Thank you for your help.
I reported it and gained a generic response.
So I responded with screenshots of the guidelines and review and then gained another response saying they don't accept attachments.
So I've responded again, again explaining the attachments were copies of the Imdb guidelines and the review.
I'm thinking of deleting my account.
I don't need to be associated with such sites that allow such things to go on when they're in clear violation of their own guidelines.
It's not a safe place to give honest reviews anymore.
I've actually been a member since 2011.
I've never come across this before against any other reviewer, or myself.
It's unacceptable.
I don't know why I thought Imdb was any better than the rest. It's still run by humans.
Thanks again for help. I wish you well.
