Troll/Trolling-

make a deliberately offensive or provocative online post with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.

This sort of behavior has always been common on this site, lately, it has gotten a lot worse. A lot of the times people who are trolling are lacking attention and or, have underlying problems. This does not make the behavior excusable whatsoever, but its the reality of it. If you are a victim of the bullying, harassment caused by the trolling, or just in general please know you are worth more, and you are not ever alone. For the trolls- if you also need someone to talk to, please feel free to reach out, this is a mental health site, and its very sad you find the urge to act out here, we can give you the attention you want, and the support you need in a positive and healthy manner. If you are annoyed, a lot like many of us are, please remember you can always mute the trolls as well.

There has always been a trolling epidemic in our groupchats. It's honestly why I wish that they would add in a feature than slowed down response time of members and listeners to 1 post every 30 to 45 seconds unless a groupchat mod is in the room.

That or just close rooms entirely and use more support session pop up style rooms.
