The best way to deal with the trolls here is to put them on ignore so you no longer see what they are saying.
After I put Homelessjoe and some others on ignore, the forum became far more pleasant.
That doesn't work. That only prevents you from seeing the original garbage the trolls post. In many threads you still end up reading pages of trash that end up being in the posts of others who responded to the trolls or were victims of the trolls. As often happens, the original thread becomes useless.
Without an overwhelming adoption of ignore of a select group of negative miscreants of right and left along with a pledge to give no reply to the posts that entire group it would fail.
If six or so repetitive miscreants were chosen through acclaim of their lack of Adherence to the boards rules and spirit it would be good, however like Chantry I doubt any likelihood of success, we have only paused the nastiness.
