As we start to see more users join, it’s inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed.

Best just to scroll past them. They want to spark unwinnable arguments and rack up negative rep. If something seems absurdly ridiculous or inciteful, just move on. It’s not even worth down voting.

    Honestly, I don’t think we should bother checking their reputation score even if it was working correctly. They’re either engaging in shitty behaviour or they’re not. All of us engage in shitty behaviour sometimes - we all get hangry, we all have bad days, and we’re all suffering in some way or another - and the fact that someone has a record of saying popular things doesn’t mean their shitty behaviour needs to be accepted or engaged with.

    Call it out, ignore it, or report them. If there’s a pattern of shitty behaviour, the mods or admins can have a chat with them about it.

      Of course, I agree with that. But there are people who do that, so I figured it’s important to mention still.
