What is it that trolls truly want? Attention. And you're giving it to them. Any true troll that gets nominated will just feel validated in their actions, especially if they win. The worse thing you can do to a troll is completely ignore them because all the want is your recognition and this thread is giving them all they want. Ignore them and they go away defeated. Entertain them and they keep going because that's how they get their kicks.
Yes, this is absolutely right, feeding the trolls would give them more energy to continue trolling, best way is just to ignore them.
What you are doing here is mass feeding of trolls by giving them more light btw !
