I only know of two ways to get rid of trolls, set up a pay wall or train "troll slayers". It's been very firmly stated here at JoS that charging for the dissemination information, even as an option, is a complete no-go, so that only leaves the latter option. The latter isn't as difficult as it may seem, as any community of trusting individuals can readily identify "cloaked" enemies and flush them out.
Here's some advice on handling potential trolls. In case you feel someone may have attacked you, calm yourself and examine the offending post. Question this person, or if you think they're misinformed about something, educate them. If they answer your question with information you feel is misleading, ignore it or ask someone else with more experience on the subject.
If after educating them they proceed to personally attack you, this may be a troll, block or ignore them. I was actually trolled here recently as well, but having experienced being trolled both on and offline, I was able to tell I was being trolled. I channeled the emotions from my “broken ego” to focus on the situation. Instead of acting purely on emotions, which I'm sure this troll wanted me to do, I gave them more detail on the subject.
When they continued to nit-pick at my article and personally attack me, I ignored them. I'm here to learn and to teach, I don't care about my “reputation” relative to wining and losing arguments. That so called “rep” is what gets many people “taken down” by trolls.
If someone comes at you claiming they have their Kundalini serpent raised, yet they're being an arrogant asshole, it's very likely they're lying. Nobody can raise the Kundalini without meditation and or yoga, not even temporarily. Those who've actually managed to raise their serpent, or have had real spiritual experiences, tend to not be know-it-all's or showoffs. Those negative traits are of someone who is spiritually and mentally deranged, symptoms of a lack of metaphysical advancement.
This is why I say it's imperative that you read the content on the Joy of Satan main site. The core concepts posted on the main site, we repeat here on the forums. It may be we present them in our own personal writing styles, which may help more people understand, but it's still the same basic concepts. Proper self-education will make it more difficult for you to be trolled.
Don't feed the trolls, starve them of attention. Let their names fade out of existence, so you can live a more positive one.
