Bring back the message boards
Can we please have the message board feature back? Often at times I want to ask the community that could recommend me similar movies based on a movie I liked. There's no way to do that any more.
There should be a discussion board for each title page , where we can ask viewers for similar movies.

(1) Minds.com is experimenting with a new reporting system. When the staff receives a report of abuse, they make the first decision on whether to act on it. A punished user can appeal the decision, which then goes to a group of randomly selected users.
The randomness makes the decision likely to be fair. The staff can be biased. An elite group of users who get to make all judgments would be biased and subject to corruption. But a randomly selected group, different every time, would almost guarantee a fair judgment.
(2) IMDb could charge for access to the message boards. Trolls and other abusers are less likely to pay than a user who wants to have civil and productive conversations. The few trolls who do pay for entry can be easily managed and removed.

I miss the message boards SO MUCH! As I recently noted, I had a close-knit group of 'friends' on a couple of boards, and it was devastating when IMDb announced they were shutting them down. Some of us exchanged e-mail addresses, Twitter handles, and so on, and some migrated to a couple of replacements, but it was never the same.

The cross-domain migration from GetSatisfaction to Sprinklr made me just slightly hopeful that someday there could be a migration back to IMDb·Com. However, there is still a lot of work to be done, if ever there was to be a distinct board to correspond to every IMDb title page. I get the feeling that absolutely under no circumstances would a board specifically designated for politics be brought back before a hundred years after any kind of site-native board would be introduced. Interestingly, a board devoted to such a topic probably only previously existed at all as a place to vent shenanigans that didn't belong elsewhere besides the soap box, the testing board.
