My recommendation, on top of what has already been said, is that you notify a moderator if there is someone you think is trolling. We can keep an eye out for them, issue infractions, and eventually boot them from the site if need be. And if you are reluctant to 'tattle' and would rather just block a troll, keep in mind that while it solves the problem for you, there are thousands of users plus countless guests on the site that
won't be blocking that person. We can get rid of them for everyone.
Now, please bear in mind that when you PM us/report the post we might not take immediate action (aside from deleting the post). In the case of trolling, it can often take quite a while before we have 'enough' to get rid of them. On the other hand we might have known about them for some time and could simply be waiting for them to make just more mistake before we kick them off the site for good.

Don't know enough people on here yet to know which ones to avoid, most screen names are the same to me, until I can place a face to the name that is.

There are no rules against that specifically, but I wouldn't recommend making a public thread for that. In fact, I would probably delete any such thread I saw.
Now, for your personal reference? Do what you have to do. Just keep in mind that if you are unfamiliar with the members, it could be very easy to label someone a troll when they aren't. It takes time and experience to know whats normal on the site, and how certain people present themselves.
