Movie deletion?
posted by sp1tiSTAFFMOD on July 5, 2015 at 8:41 PM
I noticed today that a movie I've added was deleted. Couldn't find a thread about this. Any reason as to why?
The movie in question is again in the database but just this month where as the other was added weeks ago: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/347413-little-witch-academia-the-enchanted-parade/changes
If it was due to a duplicate it is still disrespectful to delete the artwork with it (fanart and poster custom)... Dead data as still visible on trakt: http://trakt.tv/movies/little-witch-academia-the-enchanted-parade
Entry in question https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/330075-little-witch-academia-the-enchanted-parade
Sadly this wasn't the first time this happend! Not fun.

Really now? Back to closing threads without a reply...
Here is the other example I mentioned, never got a proper reply either: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/505ae2f1760ee3348d000e71
Who ever is doing that should not be moderating the site anyways...

Hi sp1ti,
It wasn't deleted, someone changed it to a collection:

Unfortunately, I don't always time to get through every post. I try my best but miss them sometimes.
Re: That post about The Raid, unfortunately we switched our change history DB back in late 2012 and didn't re-import everything previous to that. Unfortunately, as such, I have no insight to what happened.

Hi travis, thank you for taking the time to reply. An explanation was all I needed. Never would have guessed that this happened. I was under the impression this was a random deletion (and the random thread closure isn't the first for me either :x).

No problem, you're welcome.
