If hacker news doesn't stem the growth of trolling (which has pushed out plenty of my friends) then it probably will eventually "shut down" new signups for a while.
Odd, I don't see a lot of blatant trolling on HN at all. Care to name some examples?
Really?
HN has the least trolls of any board I look at.
Can you provide examples?
I've seen almost no trolling here, it seems to get shut down pretty quickly.
