But what was my logic and why do you disagree?

I thought it was pretty clear, but I'll explain your own logic to you. You said that by "snitching" on trolls in the thread, "you've erected a monument to immortalize their names", with the implication that this was some sort of victory for the trolls.
But it is. I wish I had the fortitude to follow in JewSlayer9000's footsteps.

It's like saying that in the real world, someone who has committed a crime gets "immortalized" when they are brought to justice and their name is in the papers etc. Sure, there might be one or two oddballs that enjoy the notoriety that would bring, but that doesn't change the fact that they have incurred a punishment for their misdemeanours and, if incarcerated, have been prevented from carrying out such acts in the future (for a period of time at least).
uh lol "brought to justice" actually all that's happening right now is a retiring of accounts, which can be replaced. Hence the ungrateful attitude of the anime avatar.

So, to bring it back to trolling, I would say that if someone is persistently being a dick and spoiling the gaming experience of other players then, as a player, I am more interested in seeing that player removed permanently from the game. If that person considers it a badge of honour to have been denied the privilege of playing a fantastic game which presumably they've spent money to buy, well, I couldn't give a shit.
uh lol none of that necessitates a memorial wall, though.

We are talking largely theoretically, as I don't see trolling as a major problem in the game.
Tell that to the anime avatar lol.

Personally, I have zero tolerance for hate speech (racism, bigotry etc) and if I encounter it I will report it and get that person banned (which I have done). Other forms of trollery would be on a case-by-case basis, with the aim of weeding out repeat offenders.
The atmosphere between players online in the game is almost always very good and it should be kept that way. As they say, one rotten apple spoils the barrel.
k.
TLDR: You're being trolled. Anime Avatar was a weenie (still is probably). You called me a 12-year-old, outing yourself as an ageist which I have ZERO TOLERANCE for and I will be reporting your post to the mods so that you will be banned and J U S T I C E may take your place here in my forum.
