The only way to handle them is with an iron mallet - or so I've learned over time. I was on a board that kind of did that. It was a non-spoiler board, and the board members would crack down on anyone who misbehaved. You do have to rely on the board members a bit.
They did delete whole threads - which became problematic.
The idea of unregulated free speech on the internet is kind of hilarious to me. We're paying for the internet. Most if not all social media sites - you have to set up an account of some sort for - either paid or unpaid. But someone else owns it. They are completely within their rights to delete your account at any time. (I don't think a lot of folks understand that - Trump didn't. LOL! Nor do a lot of his supporters apparently.)
The speech is monitored and can be removed at any time. Same with copyright protections - it's almost impossible to protect copyright on the internet - when you have countries out there who don't subscribe to it.
