As an angry concerned Kinja user I don’t think there is any right way for the commenters to deal with the troll problem. Respond directly to them, respond indirectly to them, Dismiss them, email the staff; all of those are responses to the symptoms, but the core problem is that staff need to spend a few hours a day…

Back when this blog started in late September (had to check, yes) it had to build a new set of recommended commenters. So there were a few weeks where the staff had an obligation to look at the comments (... which is a terrible job, I won’t pretend otherwise), but it seems like once Earther had “enough” recommended…

Let’s hope they get more popular so they can siphon off more votes from the democrats

Why is this sub so troll heavy?

instructing his officers to profile citizens based on race definitely was, though.

It’s a troll mess up in here.

My apologies that the comments on this went toxic super quickly.

Let’s not feed the trolls. Stop responding and starring their comments.

Damn the trolls have jumped on this one fast. Do not ungrey them.

Thanks for bringing racism into this. Tots needed.

Democrat candidate Kyrsten Sinema, a U.S. representative who leans more toward the middle than most Democrats foaming at the mouth GOP crazies, but is openly bisexual, so she obviously can’t run as a republican.

That is still what is being taught in my nieces’ schools. I also see textbooks posted regularly with the same ish.

Oh my GOD, Steinem. How is this helping?!?
