I would suggest that a a moderated forum this is hardly likely to allow the sort of trolling and vicious comments seen on “Social Media”.

What sort of sick person tells a player to hang himself, shoot himself in the head or to “die in a fire”.

It anonymity of the internet allows these sad people the outlet they have never previously had. The classic troll seems to be a socially inept loner who lives with his or her parents. These people would simply have existed a few decades ago - but now social media gives them the power to shock and offend with little chance of any comeback.

They exist in an environment with practically no social cues as to “normal behaviour” so perhaps it is not surprising these social misfits seek to have an impact.
