@AnneDaunted Wow, that escalated quickly. I see you have also asked me a question on that on my mod Q&A. I am going to edit that question some time later today and get it reopened. I wish I could have done that sooner.

@AnneDaunted and that's "just" a sliver badge lol

@AnneDaunted I was quite pleased with an edit I made to a certain "trollish" question and that helped get rid of most of the drama. Unfortunately, it later turned out the question was in fact a troll, and got deleted.

@MaskedMan Still, that silver badge has never been awarded on TWP, in 6 years.

@MaskedMan I remember that question. You suspected it to be a troll question quite early. If it hadn't been part of a multi-site trolling incident, you would have wanted it to stay around? I can't see deleted questions, so I can't comment on the quality of your edit.

@AnneDaunted Yes, until that point, I was of the opinion that troll posts should be deleted. But @IDrinkAndIKnowThings changed my mind here ...

@MaskedMan My stance: Judge the question by its content. So I also wouldn't want a troll question to be deleted automatically. It could be a valuable (hypothetical) question. But I would still be stricter than with other questions, as the troll question has some deeper problems: The OP is not interested (never comes back, accepts a silly answer), it might still contain bias even after editing (e. g. putting others in a bad light), and all the other problems of hypothetical questions.
