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.
