Good site but let down by outdated rules
I have recently discovered that my Plex media library collects its metadata from services such as TMDB and as I had recently added some more niche shows to my library I decided id update the online database so that I could have a more accurate experience in Plex. I spent several days this week updating and creating entries for several shows I had added to my library, the user experience on TMDB is fantastic and I enjoyed using the service. However, I logged on today to find that two shows I had spent a long time creating and completing entries for (almost 500 episodes each with their own episodes) had been deleted without warning by the sites moderators. When I raised this with the support system I was also informed that some of the other shows I had spent time working on were at risk of being deleted for being "self-released content" (this being anything that hasn't come from big production companies). I fear I have wasted away a lot of time on this site. The moderator directed me to 'content guidelines' which I can only describe as archaic. From what I've seen the database website freely allows for detailed and extensive entries of x-rated adult movies and series but as soon as a high production YouTube series or podcast show is uploaded, the militant moderators quickly delete it. The site rules are outdated and have fallen way behind the fast march of the internet and the many new ways people consume and create content. I wouldn't advise anyone to fall into the trap I did of opening your time and energy contributing to this site when ultimately your work will just be deleted, ready for the next fool to suffer the same fate.
