Or they know exactly what they are saying.
Reporting these are useless on our own, but if we post up a user, and we all report them maybe it will work - though this is best suited if they have a proper active channel . if its just a sign up to speak shoot it wont mean much.
I had someone hoping I caught AIDS the other week, it was that bad that I thought it was sarcasm (as the video was). Though looking at their profile and other comments - troll.
Exactly. Usually I will mark the spam button on their comments, if everyone did this perhaps youtube would take a stronger line... though somehow I doubt it. The trouble is its hard to report a user, I have tried myself in the past (someone was spreading sh*t about me on there) but youtube just sent back a message saying "just block them".
Yeah cos that really stops someone spreading lies about you.

The other thing we could all do is target the more extreme messages and send links to someone like Crime Stoppers - they in turn might get a bit p*ssed off with getting the reports and might put pressure on Youtube to be a bit more responsible? Bit harsh on Crime Stoppers and co though.
Also, if anyone wants a copy of my Troll list for Youtube let me know, PM me. I keep track of some of the nasty ones and tend to PM people on Youtube if they come across them and dont realise. I would hope it gives them the power to feel they can actually remove comments and block.
