Edit, since people are now seeing this post who did not see the the reason for it:
At the time of creating and posting this, there was an account that was created using a well known username and spamming extremly transphobic hate posts. Some users were starting to interact with this very obvious troll, so I thought it might be a good idea to generally remind people how to treat these trolls. This is not about some light hearted banter or good faith jokes, this is about trolls that are truly only about spreading hate.
That’s why the steps are ordered this way. First report, then block. And if you want to, you can view the reported post while logged out, check modlogs, etc.
I meant future bad behavior. A lot of people view blocking as a last resort and I think that’s a valid viewpoint.
Just read my post text. This is about accoints that usually should get banned outright anyway.
