Most or nearly all of the various configurations that were designed to
be anti-troll were absolutely worthless against the 'particular' and
main trollperson, and mostly never did anything but cause various
problems, with one exception.

Some of the moves were not well thought-out strategies at all.

My personal opinion about those tactics or countermeasures was that the
only thing that the spamcop news manager /should/ have done about
countering the troll problem was to put the nntp posting host into the
overview and to have done nothing else.  A regular normal poster got
blocked and the cancel business was lost.
