Trolls

[DemonGoddess]

As we all know, there are people who go to discussion boards and groups and make posts designed to create problems with the members of that community. Frequently, you'll see that sort of behavior in political discussion, religious discussion, things of that nature. Where a poster (almost always someone new to the community) posts an opposing argumentative view to piss off the other posters in the topic. It's certainly obvious enough when it happens. Trolls tend to show a PATTERN in posting.

There are a couple ways to handle them. First is to NOT feed the troll. Ignore him or her. Simple, and usually works. The second option is also simple. report the post and member. Forum admin (me) will handle it from there.
