These trolls tend to the types that find a relatively active user, create an account insulting that user's name, and go on the talk page of that user's or another relatively active user's to enter in an insult, sometimes immediately reverting it.

==How vandals/trolls are halted==
 +
===Reverting vandalism for non-sysops===
 +
The simple directions:
 +
 +
# Click on the page vandalized.
 +
# Click on "View history".
 +
# Click on the most recent revision immediately prior to the vandal edit(s).
 +
# Click the "Edit" button.
 +
# Either click the "Save page" button in the bottom left corner or the "Publish" button in the top right corner.
 +
 +
===Blocking vandals===
 +
[[Vandals]] can simply be blocked by any user with a "Block" or "Administrator" tag. Furthermore, blocked vandals who create [[sock-puppet]] accounts can easily be busted by any user with a "check user" or "Administrator" tag, as they can view the IP addresses of any user. Blocked vandals who continue to create vandal accounts will have their IP addresses blocked. Furthermore, all users on [[Conservapedia]] are required to show their IP addresses, as those who create accounts while hiding them will be blocked.
