So this is the first time I'm coming on here now. I never knew this site existed until I stumbled upon this while frantically searching for ways to stop bullying on IMDB boards.
I've been an IMDB poster for quite a while, I'm also a Jeremy Renner fan. In the midst of feeling talkative, I decided to head over to the Jeremy Renner board and have mature conversations with fellow fans who love his work. Little did I know at the time, that the main posters on there are a bunch of harassing bullies. Certain posters such as Future Robot (formally known as Uncanny, until she was banned 'permanently' by the administrators of IMDB for inciting cruel and vicious remarks over a period of 6 months to other posters on the board), there is also RDMISC (who, like Future, promotes just as much hate and negativity and jumps down the throat of anything positive in that board), and TheMissIsTalking (who is just like those two posters, but just as snarky and vicious).
These three specific posters ALWAYS spread cruel and horrible remarks about Jeremy Renner. They rip apart his personal life and say cruel and vicious things about the mother of his child (that should be grounds for defamation). Any talk about Jeremy's films, interviews, characters, awards...are normally met with cruel and hurtful remarks by these fellow posters. They purposely 'bump' up meaningless threads (by that I mean, threads unrelated to Jeremy, only snarky and mean threads about other posters and hate against the mother of his child), as to wash out the actual conversation done by other fans. In these specific threads (which you can see on his board), they purposely bully posters (by shunning them out and saying mean things) and act like immature high school students. Their bullying has been so bad that they have driven away countless of IMDB Renner fans from the board. That's how bad it is.
These people are meant to be adults. Adults shouldn't be acting like this, let alone bullying posters and overtaking their threads. I've been reporting these vicious threads, but that doesn't seem to stop them. I've tried putting them on ignore, but just the same, they continue to relentlessly bully the other posters for speaking about Jeremy's films, interviews, awards...etc. And just at this moment, they're copying and pasting comments from other boards of Jeremy's films of other posters and bullying them on the Jeremy Renner board. They also use some site called DataLounge, and they continue to be vicious and spread more hate by naming fans of Jeremy Renner (IMDB posters) because they like his work. This is bullying and harassment.
Is there any other way to get this bullying to stop? The boards are meant to be a place to talk about the actors, their films, not to continuously go on a hate campaign and jump down the throat of actual fans who want to talk about him. I really hope the administrators can ban them once and for all. For a board meant to incite fan conversations, it's turned into a bully-fest and anyone with anything nice to say about Jeremy is pummelled to the ground. These people need to be stopped, I don't want other fans to be scared of coming to talk on the Jeremy Renner board. I want them to feel like they can speak about his work without the need of vicious remarks.
Future Robot also makes this remark: "I kinda don't care getting suspended from IMDB: when I appeal I always win." She means that even though she'll get banned for doing the wrong thing, she'll appeal, come back and continue to bully posters who come her way. This needs to be stopped. I hope the administrators heed my request. It's a problem which has been going on for over a couple of years. A lot of us are sick of this and want it back to normal. If someone can help me, I would really appreciate it. I don't want to leave the board. I'll continue to talk about his films and interviews, I'm just sick of being bullied all the time and sick of the cruel and vicious threads on Jeremy Renner and other posters (fans) of Jeremy.

Hi Emperor.
Thank you for that fast response.
I didn't realise I was allowed to post links, but I shall now.
As well as the link you've posted, they've done this:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/219571438?d=latest&p=3#latest
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/221864097?p=1
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/223375567
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/223346656 The Miss Is Talking states: "The board has been dead for a while and the intelligent, mature discussions are sorely missed around here... "
Thing is, there has been mature discussions going on for the past week. Unfortunately, they choose to ignore it and believe that they're only ones who rule the board and therefore anyone not in their 'gang' is invisible.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/223320232 With a thread focussing on why Renner was snubbed from the film. Future Robot goes onto say: "not even the born again family values baby pimping helped. what are the fly-over country butt sitters good for anymore- I thought they lived for fetishing babies and motherhood/fatherhood whitewashing. What was that about twins, strip clubs and all con artists are women?"
Once again, changing the entire topic, defaming Renner and his family and forever trolling on the boards.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/215931707?d=latest&p=3#latest All the snarkiness is on here, once again grabbing a fans link to her blog, and defaming her on IMDB. I think it's cruel and sick at what these so-called adults are doing.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/flat/222764875?p=1
*sighs* It's said that all I can do is keep ignoring them, but it still doesn't stop the bullying and vicious comments. Other harsh words have been trailed to lots of articles relating to Renner around the web. For example:
http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/07/overheard-jeremy-renner-on-becoming-a-dad/
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/222047675 This was another case of bullying when a poster tried to help in a situation and ended up being thrown in their face.
There's more, but I'll need to fish through them all first. :(

Bluesman: you are incorrect that appealing a disaplinary action such as account suspension is ignored: when my account was frozen I contacted the email account listed in terms of usage page; I attached screen shots sample of my postings for which i started keeping after a user had threatened to have me booted off on a thread and compared my disagreable comments against what is deemed harrassment in Terms of Use. A month later I received a blind email notifying me that i am able to reinstate my account creds however my past deleted posts cannot be retreived. Grievences are reviewed and acted on my case. In my case I tangled with someone on a thread who didn't like my review of a movie. I see that there's two sides to this issue and that people use the report function far to liberally when they don't like what they read. Sillyness.
(Edited)
Why can't you speak like this on the boards? This is more civil then what you normally write. If you were much nicer then everyone would be getting along fine.
I am sorry but you are confusing me with your aversary. I found this discussion by searching for advice on how to report unwelcoming PMs and felt compelled to react. I will not allow to be a target so I have said my two cents and will take leave back to my original issue on this community board.
It is about time someone stands up to these disgusting comments. I can only imagine what they must look like sitting behind their computers. To be that envious of a beautiful young girl and her family.
Exactly! Thank you Jianna. They're just a bunch of bullies who tease someone they've never met in their entire life and probably never will.
Emperor, Champion
Thanks for those threads - it can be difficult assessing a situation without having to go through ever thread. I did read some of those whilst skimming through and looking at your other examples, I don't really think there is a big problem, certainly nothing which is reportable.
Quite a few threads on there seem off-topic (and I'd not lose any sleep over them being deleted), but mainly it just seems to be people saying things you disagree with. Quite a few of the more negative discussion of him seem to stem from interviews he's given where he doesn't necessarily paint himself in the best light:
http://www.elle.com/pop-culture/celebrities/jeremy-renner-interview
Also worth noting that the people you've flagged up as being problematic posters have themselves complained about reporting abuse:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/nest/219949535
It seems to be a classic example of the kind of the kind of "he said, she said" disagreements that mean mediating disputes on IMDB would be almost impossible - hence the partly automated system and staff not discussing deletions and sanctions.
It is also a perfect situation where report and ignore should be deployed. If you don't like their posts/threads, then ignore them.

Dear Emperor and IMDB Admins,
This is RDMisc:
I would like to draw your attention to a recent incident that I was just made aware of.
Further to my post about how the same posters who are complaining that THEY are being bullied, are continuing to post across internet sites specifically targetting and bullying IMDB participants using their IMDB ids and in my case, referencing my personal information.
As of December 14, 2013: a new comment post was made on a CNN Blog in relation to the recent Jeremy Renner Elle Interview.

Thank you for your time.

I read that too and terrible!
I wouldn't agree with this either. Its silly. People need to grow up. How would you know exactly who it is if there isn't proof?

Hello,
On my own behalf, I would like to state how IMDB posters, like this one who continue to claim how I am "bullying" them - are the same who (in a team mob fashion) choose to post my personal identity/information and IMDB ID on various external websites, including interviews conducted by Jeremy Renner on CNN and Elle websites.
Discussion about these incidents are on the Jeremy Renner IMDB site: Fandoms http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0719637/board/thread/222047675
Those actions are egregious bullying violations of privacy - and yet they continue.
I have on many occasions advised these fans to use the ignore feature and/or choose to express their views on the topic in an adult fashion.
In addition, there are several threads where other participants have expressed their objections to their violations and bullying reporting without cause. There has been continuous advice provided to them showcasing a right to freedom of speech, a right to an opinion, a right to "agree to disagree", a right to apologize and delete something where someone may have been offended.
I have on several occasions stated an apology and deleted where another found what I wrote offensive. I am not above. However, at no time has this poster attempted to discuss with me either privately or publically where/what/why they may have felt offended on any of my posts.
Instead, IMDB posters, like this one, continue to visit various other public websites slandering IMDB participants and violating their private information. This is bullying, offensive, slanderous and threatening to me.
Over this last week, the same "fans" as the one who posted here, launched another "reporting" campaign. There are 6 of us who have been reported. For what? An opinion? A post with an emoticon waving? A choice to bump up topics we feel are relevant?
Therein is the bullying and unfairness of this "complaint" by this poster.
We all have a right to our opinions. One does not have to agree. The Ignore button is there for a reason. Or, one can choose to simply disregard the posted opinion. Or, one can choose to post their own opinion and argument.
Jeremy Renner's public statements and actions - his choice - allows the public to comment (good or bad). It's his choice to present himself in a manner that alters the narrative. The commentary positive or negative are based on his public displays, actions, interviews, choices. He could have chosen to present himself differently and kept all of his private life unavailable for discussion.
There are dedicated Jeremy Renner fan websites that cater to the ongoing positive only perspectives and discussions of this actor. Perhaps this poster's views are better suited for those sites where there is no other opposing view to their own.

I never put it on the boards, it was done by Future to invite more hatred. Never said anything about racism, orientation, death threats...
Harassing posters and creating unrelated threads as well as insulting people who disagree with you always get hurt. Many fans feel the same way and I speak for all of them who have asked me to do this.

I humbly suggest you rethink why you take other's posts about this actor, even if they are rude or sarcastic, so personally upon yourself. As a fan you are not responsible to control how other people respond to his actions on and off the screen. Honestly I think this is what this complaint is about. You are not happy seeing a celebrity you admire spoken about in a negative light.
That isn't true. Yet again I express an opinion and I'm attacked. Go away if you don't have anything nice to contribute, Future.
I have read the comments about Jeremy Renner's family . It is disgusting to so say the least. I have seen it the comments on other sites that profess to be Fans. There is NO freedom of speech when Cyber bullying and Harassment is involved. I will back up this article 100 percent. I hope IMBD takes every comment off. If I was Renner's camp, I would fight for that.
(Edited)
Thank you, Jianna James. I'm fighting for it too and there are other's that want to speak out against this, but can't. Thank you.
