Instead of removing message boards entirely, thereby destroying a whole mine of movie-related information, why didn't IMDb merely restrict the boards to those who have been members for a specified period of time? By only allowing posts by those who have been members for more than a year, for example, the whole problem of trolls would have been eradicated. No troll would want to wait 12 months before posting.
