By order of the Blogduce
I got a troll! It was a comment on a very old Friday Five, but it was my first genuine troll. This gives me a perfect opportunity to announce my troll policy. Trolls will have their IP addresses listed for the world to see, so that other bloggers can track them. I realize that trolls can use many IP addresses, but if folks start noticing a pattern, then it makes it that much easier to patrol and delete.
Unless a post is outlandishly out of bounds (or is posted by someone known to the blogosphere as a troll), it will not be deleted automatically, but I may add editorial comment in addition to posting the IP address. I may decide later to delete troll comments, however, so be warned if you want to play this role.
