=== Trolling ===
'''Trolling''' can constitute any one or more of the following behaviours:
* monopolizing discussions;
* repeatedly talking more than the other side despite saying nothing coherent:
* responding to reasonable requests and questions with off-topic or potentially offensive rhetoric;
* posting outrageous comments to bait people; or
* employing redundant arguments intended to occupy and waste the time, efforts, or energies of other users or to distract them from productive editing and making mainspace article contributions.
* flaming or flame wars; posting user disputes over multiple pages.
Many trolls are attention seekers, or they just enjoy annoying people. Some however, have a direct purpose or agenda -- to destroy the Conservapedia project and limit its ability to build an internet community. They do so by inconveniencing and harassing users. Trolling is a [[Conservapedia:Blocking policy|blockable offense]]. However, blocking the troll does not always solve the problem; determined trolls can continue their activity through blocking appeals and [[Conservapedia:sockpuppet|sockpuppetry]]. Some trolls have been known to persist for several years.
Dealing with longterm abusive editors can be problematic. Blocking them does not make them go away; they can return angrier and more determined to attack and harass a specific user, or article pages.
