Shutting down boards to censor negative reviews.

Hopefully, people see through what is going on and fight back with boycotts of theaters and Amazon. We can only pray.
Nah, it's their website.
If they want to close the forums, they have every right to.
There's really nothing to fight.
Just go to another site's forums. -

Thanks for having sense, you seem to be one of the few here that does. The thing that the majority of these trolls don't get is that IMDb doesn't need a reason to close the forums, and they certainly don't owe us anything. They offered a free service, with terms and conditions, and people abused the service.

They aren't shutting down the message boards because of negative reviews, they're shutting them down because the majority of boards are being used by online trolls who do nothing but spew negativity and bully anyone who dares to like a movie they didn't.
Are you an idiot?
You're one of the reasons they are shutting it down, congratulations. -

It all comes down to money. If insulting others was so horrible, Parliaments all across the UK and Europe would have been shut down by now.
You guys need to grow up if you think something needs to be shut down because you can't handle the opinions of others.
This is sad. -

This is sad.
And you need to grow up if you think the problem is simply a difference of opinion.
The fact that you just don't get it is even sadder. -

I never said that these message boards should be shut down for any reason, I merely pointed that you are part of the reason it is being shut down. I'd like the message boards to stay active because it cracks me up how many trolls their are on here.

Any smart message board owner wouldn't chase people away because they make mean comments. That's traffic. That's money.
I know what you are. You are a professional shill working as a contractor for some movie studio and I made your life hell and you're bitter about it. I'm going to guess you're losing your job, which is why your posts and others have a hint of bitterness to them.
If you have such a hard time interacting with people on the internet, I don't know how you survive everyday life. Pathetic. -

You and I have never interacted before this thread.

I wish! That sounds more pleasant than owning a couple of small businesses.
If you have such a hard time interacting with people on the internet, I don't know how you survive everyday life.
I don't have any issue interacting with anyone and nothing I have written on here even resembles that. I'd say the person that has to anonymously ridicule people online is the one who has issues dealing and interacting with people.
Pathetic
And you continue to prove my point, well done.
Good luck finding another message board to hurl your "insults" at people. I'm sure nobody here will miss you. -

The review system is staying open. They are shutting boards down because trolls like you can't behave yourselves in public.
So you're not only wrong (several times over - it's not "criminal"), you're the problem. -
