How To Deal With A Troll (Part 2)

In the first post from the Anti-Trolling Federation, we discussed ways to identify a troll. This troll spotting guide identified characteristics of trolls on chess.com, and in the internet community at large. 
If you haven’t seen it yet, here is a link: https://www.chess.com/forum/view/community/troll-spotting-guide

Our devoted members of the Anti- Trolling Federation have been brainstorming some simple, yet effective methods to fight against trolling. 

1) Block 

2) Report

3) Ignore

Using this technique, which we can call “BRI”, we are “starving” the trolls from what they want: attention.

Some tips to keep in mind: Don’t respond or answer them, even if they have directed comments to you. If you see someone engaging with them, it may be best to warn them in a private message.

The Anti- Trolling Federation is happy that you have taken the time to read this post, and if you are interested in countering these problems, you can join our official club: https://www.chess.com/club/anti-trolling-federation/join/d184bb

Maybe it’s a paradox?

We need trolls as much as they need the forums?

Are we talking about brie cheese?

Wasn’t it the French who introduced the baguette to Cambodia?

It’s how we have Vietnamese sandwiches and baguette with curry dishes.
