Has this ever happened to you? You write a wonderful blog post, you post it and feel really good about yourself. And out of nowhere you get a comment that completely demoralizes you. It either insults you, your writing skills or your point of view. And there is not much you can do in return, except hide or delete the comment. But, your day is ruined for sure.

People who simply post rude, insulting and hateful messages are called trolls within the online community. And, we are all aware of spammers. They are those who will try to promote their product irrespective of whether or not it is an appropriate method of doing so. Many people have come to believe that trolls and spammers are responsible for ruining social media, as it was supposed to be.

There are many people who are getting completely turned off by the attitude, behavior and activity of trolls and spammers online. Their presence indicates the end of reasonable dialogue or an interesting conversation. Their comments and posts offend, insult and ridicule the point of view presented by the blogger, hence threatening the very existence of free speech on the web.

There are many who believe that anonymity on the net is a significant factor in the existence of trolls and spammers. Anonymity protects people from the consequences of their action and this promotes use of hateful language on the net. People argue that if anonymity on the net was stripped away, it would put an effective end to the nuisance of trolls and spammers on the net. If would also help in the reduction of bogus scams that are out to cheat people. Of course, there are those who believe that anonymity of the net is their right and ending it would actually come in the way of free speech.
