Ignore, report and move on. Or, if they are exceptionally obscene, send a mod a PM.

A community who takes a stand against vulgar idiocy is one that can slaughter trolls.

Fire, or acid. Seriously, anything else, and they regenerate.

See:

The average troll stands nine feet high and weighs roughly 500 pounds, though females tend to be a bit larger than males. The hide of trolls is rubbery, and usually either moss green, putrid grey, or mottled gray and green. Their coarse hair is typically iron grey, or greenish-black.

Trolls initially seem to be somewhat shorter, due to their sagging shoulders and tendency to hunch forward. They walk with an uneven gait, and their arms dangle and drag the ground when running. Despite this apparent awkwardness, trolls are quite agile.

Trolls are infamous for their regenerative abilities, able to recover from the most grievous of wounds or regenerate entire limbs given time. Severing a troll's head results merely in temporary incapacitation, rather than death. After cutting off a troll's head or other limbs, one must seal the wounds with fire or acid to prevent regeneration. Because of this, most adventurers will typically carry some sort of implement capable of creating fire.

I hope that helped.

If there's a 'thumbs up / thumbs down' option, give them a 'thumbs down'
otherwise completely ignore them,
if the comment feels like a troll as your reading it, stop reading it, go to the next post.
There's not really anything else you can / should do.
