I can’t stand the trolls, or the idea of censonship. I read a fair number of replies to this thread but not all, so forgive me if this suggestion has already been made.
How about a voting button that kills the thread and works like the star rating system. Make sure members can only vote once, but if enough “kill votes” are received, the thread dies. I thinks the trolls would be closely monitored by our more productive contributers and get discouraged after enough “kills” to go find another place to play.

Unfortunately, SOME of the trolls may be able to vote out a “good” thread if this were the case. Just report any continued unsavory posting to TC or one of the mods and let them handle it.
“Ignore This User” is a very good proposal. If you see a user you don’t like to read, you simply filter them away.
Voting users off the forum is another possibility. Right now you can “rate” posts, why not be able to vote someone off a forum. If N people say “you’re outta here” you get banned for, say, 1 month.
Voting posts off of threads is another idea. If N people vote “this post should go” it goes.
