Trolls

Internet trolls may be one of the most annoying things that I have come across online.  They are everywhere and for some reason it seems like they are multiplying.  The article brought up some great points and I never knew one of them even existed.  Troll whispers seems like a great idea which I had no idea about.  Ive always known about board and comment moderators but never troll whispers.  We need more of these types of people in the online communities in order to get rid of trolls. 

The above picture is one of the more popular trolls on the IGN boards.  I couldn't find any of his recent posts because most of them get deleted.  Hes become pretty famous because of trolling in the IGN community as he had one of them most viewed user profiles in June.  hes usually gone on boards and comments section on articles criticizing xbox while promoting ps3.   I feel these types of people should have their user profiles deleted to protect the community from anymore trolling.  Of course he would probably just create a new account, which then would just turn into a vicious circle.
