What is the irreversible consequence of failing to adhere to IMDb's credit guidelines when adding cast/crew listings for a film?

The irreversible consequence of repeatedly failing to adhere to IMDb's credit guidelines when adding cast/crew listings is the potential loss of editing privileges or even suspension of the IMDbPro account. IMDb maintains strict guidelines to ensure the accuracy and integrity of its database. If an individual consistently violates these guidelines by submitting inaccurate, unsubstantiated, or misleading credit information, IMDb may take action, including revoking the user's ability to directly edit or add information to the site. In more severe or repeated cases, the user's IMDbPro account may be suspended or terminated. While specific edits can be corrected, the negative mark on the user's account will remain, impacting their credibility on the platform.
