Is there like a list of the trolls that everyone knows who they are or is it one big secret and everyone has to look at every single profile to figure out who they are?

Rather than seeking "like" a list of trolls, it would probably be a lot more useful to go ahead and get the list itself.

I doubt there is a list although it would be helpful if someone would make one and then admins could banish them and their IP from AB. I have a feeling however that a lot of trolls are just people who have been pissed off by someone else's answer/question and this is there way of getting revenge i.e. they have acute troll syndrome as opposed to chronic

I wish there was a list!!!! Although, actually, I don't know what I'd do with it except just steer clear of them like I would any bully.

Someone tried a troll list at one time. The problem is, no one really KNOWS who downrated a question. Even someone who dislikes you may NOT DR you. There were people who were NOT trolls listed on it, and more and more people who just "butted heads", trolls or not, were listed. There's NO real way to do it. (I believe the person/people who tried the list, even off-site, were PBed - I'm not sure for how long.) But obviously, the list idea didn't work. About the only thing you have to go by is the "%+ratings given" and even THAT can be wrong. If someone doesn't rate much at all (and I'm sure there are those out there), say they have a 33%+ratings given. that could be 1 out of 3 ratings, 10 out of 30, 100 out of 300, etc. Of course, with the higher numbers they may be considered having "trollish behavior", but if they've not rated much (under 100 times), are they REALLY a troll?
