This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members. The community moderator provided the following reason for archiving: IMDb boards

I was curious to see if anyone at the Breaking Bad board was talking about Rectify, but it was just pages and pages of juvenile subject line posts (and I assume replies). With BB starting back up July 15th, I hope IMDB cleans up the place.

IMDB really could do a better job with the message boards. The fact that there is no "search" is a big drawback. It's no wonder some of the same questions get asked over and over since it is not easy to even know if something was already discussed. There does periodically appear a "search" on the page, but they say it is inbeta. A year or two ago it would appear and disappear when I logged in. I haven't noticed it lately, but haven't used IMDB in a while.

The message boards can be very interesting exchange of ideas and comments, but when it denigrates to a cesspool like the BB board, it becomes unusable.

IMDB has no moderators, so relies on users to report problematic posts - then ignore the user.

Rather than reporting an entire thread, if there is a problem with the initial post then report that and, if the admins agree, the whole thread will removed.

I've reported a number of threads - at least two users have the old "thanks for the report but we have plenty of reports about this user already," so some clean-up should start soon.

It's not rocket science. It would take an admin one hour to remove the dozens of threads calling the actor with Cerebral Palsy a retard and the board would be a much better place.
