Why does everyone keep feeding the trolls? Report and Ignore. They crave attention and chaos. If everyone just dosn't respond, they won't get what they want. Report them and DO NOT LEAVE A SINGLE REPLY!!!!!!!!!! :)

No answering at all. Putting your screename up there lets the troll person know who you are. The brings negitive stuff to your Yahoo! Account.

That's the whole point... They feed on the chaos they start. They ask the question, and just wait for commotion they create. If there is no reaction, they won't get what they are after. They may not even believe what it is they are writing... they purposly are posting the sensational garbage just to push buttons. Don't be so week and to be played like this.

I agree. That's what I do: I report them and move on. I do not even leave an answer stating that I reported them.

We've been trying to tell people this for months. Just report them and move on. Don't leave a reply, just report.
Also I do agree with Joker, you can't report them for *everything* like they do with us. That makes the reporting worthless. Just report them for serious things, or if you notice them stalking.
Some of the Trolls have taken to deleting the "older" Users or those people who have disagreed with them. They've cloned them, they've stalked them and reported every Q&A of theirs until Yahoo pulled their accts. This is wrong and should be reported.
Good luck. It's difficult at best.
You might want to notice the threat below me. and I am reporting him, list or no. Oh look -- he's gone now.

Everytime I set traps in my kitchen, some mice take the bait. However, I still see evidence that some mice are there, but they refuse to take the bait. I eventually give up on the last few.
The moral of the story is: Baited traps are painful, and are likely to hurt you much more than the trapper. The only solution is to avoid taking the bait. Eventually the bait will disappear.

Actually, this is my first time browsing the section, and what struck me was how LITTLE trolling you had. I spend a lot of time in Religion & Spirituality, and it seems like every few posts is an attack on evolution, atheists, creationism, or Christians. I was actually very impressed by the large percentage of questions that were respectful and/or seeking advice. Apparently, not nearly people are as hateful and opinionated about other peoples' sexual orientation as they are about others' spiritual beliefs.

Honestly, just responding to a question, no matter how mundane or unrelated the response is, should not constitute reporting. I've seen a lot of bad things though that should constitute reporting, but trolling is not one of them unless it's very troubling. (I.E. criminal, ultra-sexual, suicide promoting, that kind of stuff.)
For you to ask for blanket reporting just tells me that you're probably not the best one to be offering advice on such a thing.

human beings will save answering them because of the fact of multiple motives to contain- -they seem to be a troll themselves -they elect the two factors -human beings greater mature than the troll tell them approximately their non-sensical ramblings -human beings like to characteristic to the drama -The troll immediately will sign off his one account and directly to a distinctive one so his question could have an answer it fairly is of an identical opinion along with his non sensical BS claptrap.

I completely agree, but it will never happen. People like responding to trolls and sometimes it's hard to tell who's a troll.

Probably for the 2 points before the question gets deleted.
