Moana : The Trolls Have Won

The Trolls Have Won

Very sad day. It looks like, unless IMDb is pulling a prank (Google style), the boards will be closing in 17 days. I assume this is mostly due to troll activity. Luckily, this board has been relatively clean of trolls, but pretty much every Marvel board has been troll heaven, with hundreds of trolls and sock accounts flooding the boards non-stop. It will suck not having an easy place to find to talk about all kinds of movies and box office success/failures. I will miss you all. Boo on the stupid trolls. I guess they'll have to find something else to do with their meaningless time that they spent trolling IMDb boards.

Reddit, my friends.

Reddit.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Shh, don't give the trolls any ideas

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Trolls on Reddit are better than trolls here, cause it's easier to get trolls banned from a subreddit than to get them blocked on IMDB, and we can also downvote them so they're out of sight, out of mind.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

I hate Reddit.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

There aren't really any other popular messaging boards though.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Because IMDb is so much better, right?
If anything, Reddit has much more civil and classy people than IMDb does. I haven't seen as many trolls, either.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

It's much better organized and easier to find topics I'm interested in.

My only problem with Reddit is that it's too crowded, I feel. Like on this board, for example, we've kinda got our own little community and I feel like I know most of the frequent posters. Even on some of the more overrun boards, like MCU boards, I knew a lot of the people there. Reddit is much more crowded and I feel like it would take much longer to start to get to know the people there. But that's just me.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

There are plenty of smaller communities. r/Moana is nearly empty right now, we could migrate there and still keep the small commu7nity feel. Going to places like r/disney and other big places like that would obviously remove that feel, but there are plenty of other options if you look hard enough.

Luckily, this board has been relatively clean of trolls

Except it has been a haven for Wallfish socks since October when it comes to box office obsessions.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

As annoying as that is, it is nothing compared to some of the rampant bullying and hate speech that I've seen on other boards at IMDB. I can see why they are shutting it down; it was getting toxic and must have become more of a headache over time.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

True. Those things are generally problematic as well, along with spammers advertising illicit sites. I could understand if the IMDb mods also want to do away with them permanently. There are just not enough mods to go around, unfortunately.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

They were still a contributing factor to this unfortunate decision.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Yes, I agree - all of the trolls contributed to the current situation. In addition to the toxic atmosphere of bullies, racists, misogynists, and homophobes, there were the offers of illegal downloads and streaming. There were also trolls that brought ratings of movies down that they had never watched and who targeted films and performers, almost campaigning against them negatively. None of this was good for anyone and I don't blame IMDB for shutting it down. It takes too much energy to deal with.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

True, but I think the answer is simply dropping the boards for individual films and keeping the Main Boards that encapsulate an entire topic. That way you have all the users in one place where its easier to keep an eye on them.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Do you mean the boards that you find when you click on the link for "Message Boards" under the
"News & Community" tab? The one where things are in broader categories and not separated by individual movies? Maybe that could have worked with some modification.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Yes. Those. Hey, would you be interested in one of the alternatives some of the users have cooked up? I just signed up for an IMDb fan forum over to ProBoards. I could give you the link.

I'm not sure if I'll join another group or not, but I've been collecting links. If you feel like sharing, I'll check it out. And thank you. No matter where you end up, I wish you well.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Thanks! I have been checking that one out. They don't seem to have a board for animation yet. Maybe the owner can be messaged or petitioned, somehow.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

There is a "Suggest Box" topic in the bottom section of the site.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

The worst trolls I've seen have been on the Full House boards. They're not trolls, just demented psychopaths

Re: The Trolls Have Won

I haven't been there. Have you been to the Ghostbusters (the new one) board?

Full House?! Really? What on earth do they have to troll about there?

Re: The Trolls Have Won


Full House?! Really? What on earth do they have to troll about there?

Yup. They legitimately harasses everyone who praises the show, but goes huge lengths by doing so.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Interesting. Who could have such a personal vendetta against a nice, wholesome show like Full House? Oh well, some people just really need psychiatrists.

How is the screenshot fake? It's your account. You can't fake a screenshot. Nice try to cover your ass though.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

You're right, they're NOT fake screenshots. They're real. And you can lie all you want, but anyone else can see the truth.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Yep, you have me saying pedophiles should be killed.

And I have you admitting you're a pedophile and threatening to kill and rape me and my family.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

I wondered about that. So he/she is really the troll. What they are doing is defamation of character and is illegal. You would have grounds in a small claims court to sue, although it can be somewhat hard to make a case. Maybe just let them know that every thing they do gives you more evidence and ammunition for a court case and to cease and desist.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Thanks.

Re: The Trolls Have Won

Can you tell me how its defamation when its true? Those are PM's from him. Its literally his account.
