Dealing with trolls

Posted by crushedout on May 25, 2005, at 12:38:01


We've been over this before but I think we may need a review. How best to deal with "trolls," i.e., people who come to a site to provoke, annoy, and otherwise take out their hostilities on perfectly nice strangers.

Isn't the best strategy to just IGNORE THEM? The reason they do it is because they crave attention. If you simply do not respond to them, or let them get to you, they will get bored and go away.

I know this is hard to do. I don't always succeed at it. But let's try it, ok folks? Let's ignore them.

Here is a link if you want to do more reading on trolls:

Input welcome (except from trolls).
