The much easier solution would be to hold users more accountable, but I don't see that happening.

I’d very much like to see that happen. Sacrificing the status bar due to the actions of a few occasional troll is like using a flamethrower to kill a spider in your house IMHO.

Punish the troll, and not the avenue they used for trolling. Punish the drunk drivers, not banning everyone from using cars.

Alas tis the oldest plight of the Internet itself: [i]To troll or not to troll, that tis the question...[/i]  One must ask themselves at some point if their going too far, letting something as harmless as well-meaning advice turn into a misunderstanding and thus be misconstrued as an insult. Anything can offend anyone if words aren't chosen carefully.

Do you realize that trolls never actually asked for advice? They want attention and thus they ignore advisors and goad those who react negatively against them, because [i]causing drama and conflict has been their goal from the very beginning.[/i]
