    I am sad to discuss the fact that I see more and more trolls creating entire YouTube accounts to troll MLP videos. They even go as far as to make videos about nothing but calling Bronies awful insults! I almost got into an argument with one kid who was particularly disrespectful but I was quick to head to his profile and block him before I started getting angry. I am a very emotional person and seeing comments like the ones I've seen is particularly hurtful. I was wondering if anyone on here has any idea how to report these accounts or proper ways to counter troll if you're that kind of pony. I'm curious to know what the community feels. I for one try to stay far away but it's hard despite my emotionalism, especially on this subject.

    Ahhh, yes... Trolls... I can't really help you other than to just mark the hate comments on MLP videos as spam.

    Really the only thing to do is ignore them. If they don't get attention they will quit.

    I usually do just ignore them. I feel bad for people who do fall victim to their ways though. If only people were more understanding of people's emotions.

    My philosophy is that if they don't even bother to TRY to be kind, or to understand it at all, then they are frankly not the kind of people who even matter.

    Yes, that's actually what I said to myself when considering responding to him or not. I just thought if he's going out of his way just to put down fans of MLP, his voice doesn't matter, it's all disrespect.

    I always counter-troll, to be honest, but you have to be experienced at that...

    i don't care about trolls on YouTube, i can ignore them. It's trolls here in every pony that i hate. i already had an encounter yesterday where i was attacked for my opinion on the rep system. trolls are unstoppable, like bronies will never die.

    BTW, if anyone gets the Skype account name:
    BurningRainbowDash(shutterfly)
    ignore it and report it. i believe its a troll account designed to attack bronies.

    Act like you don't care. Just say something like "OMG A TROLL LAWL". Or don't respond. Just don't get annoyed, and show that you don't take them seriously.

    Seems like a video that is related, but instead of what the video does. Just tolerate them.

    Ahh, those soulless men. they don't even have feelings for people. That's how spoiled those people are. So spoiled, they couldn't even go to funerals to weep for their loved ones.

    I just cannot comprehend the fact that people go out of their way to hurt people so emotionally, in a place that was designed to share information and communicate with others in an informative way. Human nature I guess. The enjoyment I get out of them is laughing at the fact that they have nothing better to do, the ones who can't do it properly (yes, one who despises the act is a professional in the act), and of course counter-trolling.

    Most of the time I just move along and ignore.
