One of the things about VG I like is that the mods tend to be fairly forgiving - I won't be happy if this changes, and it turns into a "no tolerance", "one strike and you are out" policy - but maybe that is what is needed.
Maybe we should be dishing out "1 day" bans (warnings) for any (obvious) trolling behaviour - then after a couple hundred people get banned in a day or two, behaviour will change...
...
I also agree with @hsrob - people need to stop feeding the trolls. If you see trolling occuring - just report it, but do NOT feed the trolls (just ignore the post completely).
