how about a system where X number of -ve ratings gets you a permaban ? or, one where X number of users complain (report) and the management does a review of the posters activity and deals with it.. perma or IP ban, there are ways around it and the persistent rats will crawl back but why not make it tougher for them ?Trolls have lots of reasons. For the most part I see it as a psychological issue.
once and a blue moon trolling is something we are all guilty of(if jibes qualify as that).. but the more persistent ones simply have a lot of social angst in their real lives to take out. Could be family, could be work.. or complete lack of social activity especially with regards to the opposite sex.
The worst one can do is take them seriously.. and the best is to identify when you are dealing with one and let us handle them.

the ratings system is a joke, today I saw one Pakistani mod give another a +ve rating for this pic:
to be honest, they were being trolled hard by jingoistic Indians on a serious matter (where I was trolling too ) but ye kya baat hui.. I earned my -ves through non serious 'youtube/lieveleak comment section' like BS too
this forum is a very good platform for dialogue, and while it will mean a bit more work for the mods.. I'll welcome any serious steps taken to control the troll pests because PDF should be more than a troll fest ! (see what I did there ?)
