This meme isn't that visible (I'm seeing it on page 20 of Latest). I'm upvoting and commenting on it to help it be seen.

I don't have all that much experience with trolls, but here's my answer, until you get a better one:

Do:
Ignore them, deflect with humor, or stand up to them. Consider contacting admins if necessary.

Don't:
Play nice, reason with them, or let them dictate the rules of the game.

Hope that helps!

Upon further reflection, I could be wrong about saying "Don't play nice" (ie, there may be some times where it's useful or appropriate to act kind towards trolls).

However, the downside of it is the appearance of approving of troll-like behavior. It's valuable for a community to be seen to enforce its standards.

I think you're right, I had another one, weird, almost sounded threatening. So I went to their memes and posted on one of them, nothing bad, just kind of "I see you" and they stopped. So that worked anyway. Never know the ages, either.

Hey fellow Rhody!! I did fall off the weekly leader board. I didn't realize the trolls my first time here. But now that I'm back I think I see many more troll accounts. Bring a female, of course it bothers me and take it kinda personally. I think Socrates is right, kill them with humor. I'm taking a few days off...
Feel free to post your latest memes to me,

Yeah, someone on here doesn't like me very much, lol... a lot of my memes take forever to get featured, and they're almost always on the back pages.
