I have dealt with many trolls and vandals. Yes, it is a nice thought to be able to "permanently" ban them, but with the way the internet is setup, that is often not possible. There are range blocks of IPs, but that also means that some *innocent* users might end up blocked as well.

Help:Don't feed the trolls, as well as RIB, Revert, Ignore, Block (or however you want to order the three actions) are very important.

But I *also* found it rather satisfying to Block them each and every time they pop up, like a game of whack a mole. No interactions, no losing my cool, just *WHACK* them with a block like stepping on bugs without even registering they are truly there. Very cathartic.
