I see it in bit more positive light, you just ignore trolls (best by test!) while having an optional free bump or two.

Unfortunately, our PC section doesn't need much bumping...maybe this time next year :P

I can sort of see a reason to that but at the same time I also believe there is a time and a place where you take a stand, if you don't then you risk losing your own footing along, if someone is trying to make your life shit then stand up and let them know they aren't going to do anything towards you, some people in this world think they are invincible, especially on the internet and some do need a wake-up call to reality, especially for some on this site, trolling will only get you so far.

Also over time I've noticed that some trolls easily adapt to being ignored because they know they managed to say something that upset you and by ignoring their behavior they managed to get you to to come back at that with a response to which some trolls count that as a victory and for some they would be right because you more or less forfeited any will to talk back, this is why it's not always best to ignore such trolls and it;s why we have reasons to report and administrate such behavior, sites that don't bother with restrictions of any kind aren't really a logical or decent place to call a community in general.

Ah, but of course - report,  /ignore, downvote, dislike and use any tool available. But reacting directly is just feeding, and that's exactly what trolls are here for.

I know it's not always easy, but whenever you can it's the best thing to do (perfect in combo with the aforementioned tools).

 

PS sometimes trolls can actually be entertaining and fun, but that's rare. Almost everything I saw recently are "classical" boring patterns, I feel that creativity and humor is lacking a lot in modern trolling.
