Reviews pending for an unusually long time.

lately, my reviews seem to be pending for an inordinately long amount of time. Usually they show up instantly especially if it is a current episode of a current show. I wanted to make small edits to a review I posted last night, but it was in pending limbo, so I uploaded a new review containing the corrections, but both reviews are still pending. Normally, I can go in and delete the original review once it shows. But neither of them are showing at all, which is highly unusual for a show that has just televised it's most recent episode. Star Trek Discovery, Episode "The Red Angel", user name weAponX. I want to delete the first review and keep the 2nd. Can anyone tell me what is going on? It's not just my review, the other reviews have been trickling in very slowly, when usually, by the time an hour past broadcast there are usually at least 10 reviews showing. There are only six showing as of this morning.

To clarify the situation on review processing ...

Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/when-will-my-update-be-added/GEK...

Contributions are not processed strictly in the order they are received; we optimize processing for overall efficiency and accuracy.  Re-posting the same review while another for the same title is pending will often have the opposite of the intended effect and will slow the processing down further. 

To check the status of any review, we recommend using the new experimental tracking system which includes all reviews, regardless of the IMDb interface used to contribute the review.  Please see https://contribute.imdb.com/contributions/history

Finally to add support to the idea to track deleted reviews, please vote and comment upon the idea thread at https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/deleted-reviews-coming-back-any-time-soon

It happens with upvotes as well as down votes, it’s a problem with abuse of the system including up votes, down votes and short Spammy reviews . A solution to this that would probably put a stop to it rather quickly would be if they reenacted the automatic spellchecker. Because the fake accounts definitely had trouble with that one, when presented with a screen where they have to actually physically interact with it and correct all of their misspellings (and the Spammy reviewers always have lousy spelling and grammar), whatever software they are using to make hundreds of those simply gives up. I think that would be an even better solution than removing the tools that they abuse, not just the town vote, as you say, but the up vote as well. Basically show the reviews in a random manner that doesn’t favor anybody.

Ed Jones, and that’s the problem, there should be no political posturing in the reviews section, be they spam-reviews by RWNJs, or anyone else. Unless the title specifically deals with it. But most people don’t go to the movies to see/hear Rush Limbergerbaugh spouting his poodoo, They go to the movies to get AWAY from having to hear him spouting crap. If they decide to go to one of those nut job movies, Clinton cash etc., it’s their own fault. Most films/TV shows are apolitical, and the attacks on said films are attacks on either the actors that acted in them or the director that directed it. Or some other irrelevancy, it has nothing to do with the title.

Nick, are you sure you are commenting on the right thread? I had made another thread about considering removing a feature that is abused, The downvote button. Turns this place into a shit house like reddit, and even that place has been removing access to that button, in the most popular subs. I was posting here, about reviews that are hung up in the system for ages and ages. The longest I ever had a review hung up was about a month and a half for an episode of “almost human“.

XweAponX,
I know I'm on the wrong thread, I just didn't know how to link from one to the other to follow up on something you said here.  Anyway, I'll move on and think about what you said.

This is actually my second get satisfaction account the original one has the same username but a different Profile image. I used that one during the time the reviews section was being rebuilt. I somehow created this account, which is a secondary account but apparently it links directly to my IMDb account, which I prefer.
