Let’s say the troll mass reports people and says to mods he’s being slandered just to shut the evidence down hoping the mods don’t look at the incriminating links (to his own content) before banning the people calling him out. The troll posts actual slander on their victim’s posts, and if the victim has blocked them the troll posts the slander on their own profile while name dropping them and also replying to other people with slander about the person. If the victim calls the troll out the troll says the victim is slandering them and reports them for harassment.

Also, is there a name for when trolls do this?

      This troll vandalises their victim’s posts by posting slander, including to other people (if the person has blocked them), though.

        If it bothers you that much, you can always just make a new account to lose the tail - because that’s exactly what they’ll do once you finally get them banned or whatever your endgame is.

        Just block and move on. It’s an anonymous message board. Someone following you around and “vandalizing” your posts is completely meaningless. They’re wasting their time - you’ve already won.
