What's the best way to deal with trolls?
« on: April 24, 2008, 05:20:35 PM »

I personally like trolling trolls. Some of them can be fun to troll, especially the ones that aren't trolling for trolling's sake, which may be unaware of their trolling and thus easily trolled. But I recurse.

What's your preferred solution?

You can tell some trolls are voting. It's not surprising that they'd be some of the first to vote since trolls also tend to spend more time on the message boards because their lives are so pathetic and boring.

I ignore the trolls, but that seldom works because too many idiots reply to them. 

I'd spend more time on this board if it weren't so overrun with trolls.

There is no way to win, so you might as well troll them back.

Pretty much.  No use in much else with some of the types we attract around here.

Some trolls are fun and cute (like Blackie).
