Ever since in discussion with this guy on a board, he has had many of my posts removed.
This has never happened until this guy got angry a few days ago. In the main threads we discussed, he had all of my posts removed except for his flagged and deleted. But now it appears that he is stalking my other posts on other boards and doing the same thing.
It's getting annoying and the last thing I want to do is get in trouble with IMDB and possibly lose my account due to so many flags. What do I do?

I have him on ignore, I'll see if he stops. But I think he's using a different account that I'm unaware of.
There is nothing you can do to protect yourself. The moderators will only tell you to put stalkers on ignore so you can't see them attacking & stalking you wherever you post.
They'll automatically delete your posts when the troll reports you but don't worry because they'll end up closing the troll's account eventually so he'll have to make a new account to keep trolling you. And then you can put the troll's new name on ignore with all the other names he used in the past so you won't have to see him attacking & staking you across the site. Sorry but there is nothing you can do to protect your account if a troll selects you as a victim. The trolls win everytime at IMDb.
And if you don't think that's fair & you complain, they'll tell you to stop posting if you have problems with their message boards. The trolls win everytime at IMDb.

Thank you, unfortunately it is still continuing. The thing is they aren't replying to me anymore. But I am fairly certain it is that person.
I'm sick of investing time in creating a well thought out reply and having it deleted. When we ignore someone, it should prevent them from seeing our posts just as we can't see theirs. Otherwise, I fail to see the point of ignore.

IMDB really needs to step up forum moderation. Troll win here everytime.
By IMDb telling the victims to ignore the trolls, it means they don't have enough respect for their own board or own reputation to take any real steps to keep it a place where people can discuss films or actors.
IMDb has no reason to admit the trolling at their boards is embarrassing & disgusting until the actors & producers stand up & hold IMDb accountable for the filth & racism that they allow to fester on their respective boards. I don't know why anyone in the industry would even want to allow the owner of such a dysfunctional cesspool to profit at their expense.
Until IMDb makes an effort to side with the 'innocent' posters & actually takes some serious steps to deal with the trolls who have infiltrated their site, I can only conclude that people should just leave IMDb to the trolls & find a site where reasonable posts are respected enough to try to prevent out of control trolling.
Google IMDb message boards & you can see that this problem has been going on for years & the trolls gloat all over the boards at how they run wild at IMDb & can't be stopped.

Completely agree. I love IMDB message boards and asked if i could be a moderator here since i ́m already in Kongregate which has an awesome forum control by forum volunteers like me who know the board. I think IMDB will suffer some major interface revamp in future. Hope they remember this.
I loved IMDb & have been a member for many, many years but I just can't keep allowing myself to waste my time trying to have an intelligent discussion at a site where the owner/moderators allow people to be abused & even help the trolls abuse victims they latch onto.
The boards are a cesspool & the rating system is unprofessional & useless. The one thing the site has going for it is the database but I don't know if that will bring in money without the forums.
They should probably admit the trolls have soundly defeated them & just kill the boards completely & walk away with some dignity.
