    How would that work? The whole reason trolls exist is because of anonymity. Unless you trace them and name and shame the real person behind the online presence, all you are doing is giving them a bigger stage to spread their hatred and bile.

      ...or more likely to boost their egos.

          I suppose they don't want to incite vigilante attacks or something?

          It does seem an odd idea.

            This screams of a fundamental lack of understanding of why Trolls exist and what they are doing it for.

              +1. Its like ASBOs.

              I am tempted to say the only way is testicle removal. But it seems women are just as likely to troll.

                The group collects comments from Facebook or Twitter and uses geolocation tools to find out where the people who have posted them live. They then buy billboard space nearby and post the comments in huge letters, although names and photos are pixelated.
                Never in the entire history of all humanity, has there been a more futile series of actions.

                  Except when you go up to a lady with your carefully prepared chat-up lines you mean.
