Trolling
You can protect yourself and others against trolling by taking the following actions:
Ignore the troll /
Don't respond to nasty, immature or offensive comments. Giving trolls the attention they want only gives them more power.
Block the troll /
Take away their power by blocking them. If they pop up under a different name, block them again.
Report trolls /
Report trolls to site administrators. If they pop up under a different name, report them again. If they continue, contact the police.
Talk with family and friends /
If a troll upsets you, talk about it with friends and family and remember, it's not you, it's them.
Protect friends from trolls /
if trolls are upsetting a friend, tell them to ignore, block and report. Tell their family and other friends and encourage them to seek support.
