My best approach is, Ignore them. I used to reply before, but it only made things worse. Now I just laugh, block, and move on. You can’t argue sense into someone that logged in to insult.

If I'm the admin, I have to ban. I might give a warning first to sound merciful, lol.

I haven’t dealt personally with many but I’d probably give a warning or two, maybe three, then ban.

Ignoring online trolls unless you have to intervene is the best way to deal with them. Sometimes you will find you get a member who trolls, but they mean no harm. If that ends up being the case, but some members do not feel comfortable with their behaviour, then I would speak up and have a word with them.

Those who choose to troll just to cause issues around the forum, I tend to ban them outright.

Fishing and banning them is what I will also do as long as I've tried talking to them and they didn't listen to me. I will just do it and hope not to see them anywhere near my community again.

I haven’t dealt with many trolls myself, but I think the best approach is a mix of clear rules, timely moderation, and not feeding the trolls. Ignoring low-level provocations while removing harmful content helps keep the community safe without escalating conflicts.

Personally i feel one of the best ways to handle trolls online is to ignore them. Like the saying goes
" Silence is the best answer given to a fool "
