Coming from Ultima Online and even MUD's beyond that, trolling RPers has always been a thing. The more popular the game, the more prevalent it becomes, worse, very few games take a hardline approach even on designated RP servers that would otherwise improve the situation. In that regard I think it's actually gotten worse over the last few years as less games seem to take a side with the roleplay community even when things go beyond their TOS, and when they are rarely dealt with the only authorized action is a warning which is barely even a slap on the wrist.
As a community the only thing you can do is to report where you can, maintain your own highroad, and hope the game you're playing actually cares enough. I don't find it hard to ignore the trolls I come across, but not everyone can. As it was mentioned in here, as soon as you give in and acknowledge their disruption in a negative manner they've already felt like they've won.
