Trolls can be frustrating, but heavy-handed moderation can also stifle discussions. Do you prefer banning, shadowbanning, or letting users self-moderate? Have you found any creative ways to discourage trolling without alienating real users?

you can handle forum trolls without killing engagement, establish clear community guidelines and enforce them consistently. Responding calmly or ignoring trolls often works best. Encourage positive discussions and highlight valuable content. Consider using moderators to intervene when necessary, but avoid over-censorship to maintain a welcoming environment.
