Acid damage also works well against them.

Goats.

They seem to work fairly well.

I agree, but sometimes not is not the poster's intentions. Trolls, no matter what you do are going to troll.

Press Alt+F4 to directly report a troll to GOG administrator.

What has tinyE done this time?

These forums are not in any danger from any troll. So the best thing to do is nothing. If you read something you don't like, immediatelly skip it and move on. Everyone here is free to say whatever they like. It's our responsibility to move past the trolling posts. Just like in real life, you don't try to correct everyone you meet on a the streets, you just stick to your friends and have conversations with them only.

ie how dare you like something i dislike ?!! kind of thing ?

I would love an ignore function, not even so much for the trolls.

Learn the dark arts and cure them. :P

Someone here said something about 'pointless arguments.' Yes, that. Don't mistake semantics with trolling. After all, one man's troll is another man's truth-teller.

Troll. One of the most overused words on the internetz. Why can't we also have categories for say goblins or orcs? If we're going to name call around here, let's at least be an equal opportunity word employer. Let's give those harpies and gargoyles a chance, too.

Better hide this thread, the Troll King won't be happy... :-)

Kill them with fire to prevent them from regenerating.

I realize I am for the most part liked in here but in all serious whenever a thread like this pops up I wonder if they are pointing the finger at me. I love to be obnoxious and silly and yes I do A LOT of derailing for the sake of laughs, but if I ever thought I was actually hurting the forum I'd back off in a heartbeat.

On a more serious note, we could get rid of all the bridges; destroy their habitat.

Personly, I think the term 'trolling' is a rather stupid form for namecalling. The persons accused of 'trolling' has mostly just expressed an unpopular opinion in a clumsy fashion, without using polite terms like "I think that ..." and "maybe", and typically the troll has also forgotten to add some reservations.
