Do NOT acknowledge them.

I repeat; do NOT acknowledge them. Don't even say little smug remarks

about blocking them. Just don't acknowledge them. The reason they stay

is because half of this god-forsaken community says bratty things like:

"Shame I can't hear them anymore. Can you? Okay. Ignore them like I am."

"I can't hear him anymore. He's ignored."

"Are they still talking? I can't hear them."

"Just ignore them and they will go away!

This is NOT the way to deal with trolls.

I have years of experience dealing with trolls.

I've banned hundred of trolls from my roleplaying community.

DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. Don't even tell them they are blocked.
