you are a small little person.
You'd have been banned long ago, too ;).
Just think how much better the content of these forums would be if all the trolls and sockpuppets were gone within 1-2 posts...
You could always go post on some Hello Kitty forum where posts are more at your level. I'm sure they would find the "humor" of the average chess.com troll to be witty and cutting edge.

"Better" is subjective.
But anyway, I just thought of an idea that might make the forums more pleasant to your tastes. Basically a new policy on this site:
If a certain (large) number of people complain to the staff about a particular member, the staff creates a poll, asking the community whether they want to ban that member from chess.com (or permanently mute him/her from the forums). If, within an alloted time period, a sufficient percentage of people (majority, 2/3, ...) vote that yes, they want that member removed or muted, then he/she gets removed or muted.
So... btickler, what do you think? Would it be a good policy? And if it isn't, what do you think is the best way to remove the trolls and sockpuppets that are, in your opinion, a detriment to the forums?

Trolls to me are those hackers that flood the websites with advertisements...
I kinda like all the funny jesters of the court...
I have a wide ranging taste in humour

You're still trying to legislate some kind of "citizen rights" for forum trolls. It's simple...on stricter forums that don't brook the kind of garbage chess.com does, if someone posts an obvious trolling thread, they are gone, first time. Done.
I'm just pointing out that on forums I have moderated certain posters would be history by now. Your efforts to engage me like this is some Geneva trolling summit are not really worth addressing. You're always scrabbling for legitimacy, but you're never going to get there...

Stricter forum moderation is not going to do anything. Trolling will just have to be more subtle, that's all.

That's the way it's been on Wikipedia for years. Before that, pre 2005, to ban someone for trolling (not vandalism, which is defacing articles), Wikipedia would have to basically make a "Wiki Supreme Court" case out of it, with procedural motions, formal presentation of evidence, etc., which literally took months to resolve.
