In checking out purplepride.org for reactions to Sapp and Cam, I noticed they have a sticky thread on top that outs trolls. Their explanation is as follows:
I've long championed a mandatory 30-30 membership days/# of posts probationary pd before earning the privilege to start threads which will IMO eliminate the majority of flamers, however, short of that, an in-your-face "troll outing" thread would also nip a lot of problems in the bud.

Please use your better judgement. If the member just wants to talk harmless smack, that's ok. But recently we have noticed some extremely vulgar posts and posts soley intended to inflame the membership.
