I've had a few try the same with me and I've completely ignored them and they very rarely, if at all, do the same to me.
Engaging with these people is what they want. Don't give them it. The term don't feed the troll is true.
And then management can see that it's entirely one sided and ban them.
That said, if all they're doing is trolling by using the reply feature and not giving threats but douchey comments then maybe Management is in a hard position where he doesn't know if banning someone for offending another user is ethical, even if he himself does not approve of how the troll is offending.
That said, if this new block feature is true and you use it against the troll and an alt account pops up to bypass the blocking then I'm deffo in support that he should be banned.
So I'd suggest ignoring the troll, aswell as the others who disapprove of him, and if he persists, report him.
I'm not siding with anyone. Back and forth bickering like this isn't productive for anyone. We don't need vigilanteism here. It doesn't help. If you have a problem with a comment, downvote it and/or report it. Do not reply. All that does is further antagonize the person and cause more off-topic disruption on the site.
And I did that with this user for a year. A whole. Damn. Year. How many times do I have to say this? It did not stop. In fact, your "moderator" deactivated my account over it, while leaving the troll with free reign. Now, he has countless accounts and harrasses more people.
I have reported rapey comments he has made, where he has specified vile acts he wishes to commit against several female users here, and you have completely ignored them.
Don't you dare accuse people standing their ground of "vigilantism". That is ridiculous and insulting.
You said you were trying. Prove it. LISTEN to the feedback you are given. Quit blaming the people who have to put up with this. Why would anyone WANT to encourage that behaviour on their site? Much less reward it with protection.
I am sorry but what you are suggesting does not work with this particular troll. I've only been on the site for 5 months and I have seen him (mcbean and all his other alts) target charlim, zorak and also myself as well as others. Ignoring him and also reporting him, which I do on a regular basis, does.....not......work. All he does is then use on of his other of his 50 alts to attack you again.
He has done it to me when I have not even engaged him in a conversation (go back and check and you will see) but has a shot at me to try to engage in some sort of futile battle of so called wits.
This is very frustrating for myself and the others....apparently with charlim it has been going on for over 4 years from what she said.
What the hell are we meant to do then? Just put up with it?
What you fail to realize is downvoting does nothing when people have multiple accounts to quickly upvote and negate the downvote. Surely you can understand this.
Is it normal to wonder how the new Block feature works?

Both of you need to stop this or I'll have to ban both of you. Please stop. Block each other.

Or you could do the right thing and not side with the troll this time...
You have lost so many supporters of this site because of your pandering to trolls and refusal to listen to people who try to do the right thing.

Just ignore him if he's being a douche.

Dude, I just reported the guy harrassing her and you reapproved the comment. So.. what the fuck
And I did that with this user for a year. A whole. Damn. Year. How many times do I have to say this? It did not stop. In fact, your "moderator" deactivated my account over it, while leaving the troll with free reign. Now, he has countless accounts and harrasses more people.
