The more attention you give trolls, the more they come out of the woodwork because they see they're getting traction. I ignore that which deserves to be ignored. Then if someone is creating so much trouble that they cannot be ignored, they're very likely to be violating the pyramid of debate as well as degrading the quality of the site, so they would be removed.

It's an art, it's not a science. The moment you lay down hard rules is the moment the trolls abuse those rules. It just has to be dealt with as it arises. And every social media website draws the line in a different place.
