With trolls, any site's policy should be damage control. Those scripts are a tremendous instrument. What should be kept in mind is that a troll values his account: that is the only place that you can hurt him, and it should thus be treated with caution, in order to retain something to leverage him into the right behaviour. Never close an account unless there is no alternative, however bad the troll. | |

| Dec 3, 2010 at 15:45 | comment | added | Dusty | @Martha - Yeah, I noticed it on the trostle question. Tactial downvoting ftl. | |
| Dec 3, 2010 at 15:43 | comment | added | Marthaª | Heh. Now he's targeting me. Lovely. | |
| Dec 1, 2010 at 15:22 | comment | added | Dusty | As a followup, the script worked, so no rep harm done at least. | |
| Dec 1, 2010 at 1:07 | comment | added | Dusty | @Martha - Thanks for the backup on the question. ++ | |

| Nov 30, 2010 at 19:13 | comment | added | Dusty | @RegDwight well that's good to know at least. Thanks | |
| Nov 30, 2010 at 19:13 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | Also, note that deleted answers (and questions) are still visible to diamond moderators, as well as to all normal users with 10.000+ rep points. | |
| Nov 30, 2010 at 19:07 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | As far as the rep is concerned, I wouldn't worry too much. Revenge downvotes are detected and removed by a script that runs daily. (The same goes for upvotes by sockpuppets.) Check your rep report tomorrow. | |
| Nov 30, 2010 at 18:59 | comment | added | Dusty | @Martha - thanks and done. I wasn't sure if that would just get a moderator to look at (and potentially delete) the comment itself, or if it would actually trigger some sort of overall review. | |
| Nov 30, 2010 at 18:43 | comment | added | Marthaª | One thing you can do is flag that "I will downvote" comment. Not much, I know, and doesn't help with commentless downvotes, but it's better than nothing. | |
