| So I don't know exactly how my review got declined as "too generic"... after it was accepted. |

| Someone could have "reported" it...users can notify benj if they think a review that was approved probably shouldn't have been. |

| I just had one unaccepted for being 'factually inaccurate'. I assumed someone had reported it. I don't agree with that observation, but I didn't bother resubmitting it because it was not a very good one anyway. |

Talking of strange declines, I've just had one for "The Ron Clark Story".
My review was "Story of Ron Clark".
Reason for refusal: "Do not understand".

Nah, I decided just to resubmit with the following:
"The Ron Clark Story" is the story of Ron Clark. Hope this explanation helps.
I think that should do the trick.

That's odd,
My review for the "The Ron Clark Story" was "Martian Cyclops Eats Penguins"
The reason for the decline was "Similar to another review."

Well if Sean or one of his penguin minions (they're out there I tell you) are a merp its obvious why it was declined. |

Too close to "Mars of the Penguins", the runaway hit of 1958 that nobody remembers because the penguins used their mind ray on us afterward.
Or was that Men in Black and White? It's all so fuzzy now... |

Nahh, if I was a MERP I would have approved it then pecked the eyes out of the writer.  |

Are stray penguins a big problem in your area? They clearly have no road sense. |

Sean, for that review, wouldn't it be more poetic to peck only one eye out and leave the writer a cyclops, albeit a lopsided one?

Haven't been able to work out if you were serious about this one or not. I.e., whether you did actually submit that? If so, then the "Don't Understand" probably meant "I don't understand why you'd write such a 'review'".
If benj allows that one, then Gold Deity is mine.  I'll start by submitting (see if anyone can guess the movies):-
"Washington: Mr Smith goes"
"The Ring's Fellowship"
"Towers: Two of them"
"Samurai: Seven of 'em"
"The List of Schindler"
"Window in the Rear"
"12 Men: Angry"
"Godfather, The"
ok, just kidding about the last one.  But I'd call all of 'em duplicates. Not duplicates of other reviews, simply duplicates of the movie title. I think I preferred Catuli's "Penguins Eat Martian Cyclops" review. 
On the topic of penguins, Shiv, no there aren't any close to home (and roads) that are easily spottable, but I'm off fishing for a few days tomorrow and usually see a few. |
