How to block over 500 trolls?

Hi. I want to make my lichess account safe from trolls but I have heard that I cannot block over 500 trolls. It seems there are two ways to take care of trolls; 1) block 2) report. But reporting seldom works as trolling is very subjective experience. But I am also restricted to block only 500 trolls. For rest of the trolls is there any other way or should fight trolls with trolls?
To me it doesn't seem like you have a relatable definition of "troll"

Oh wait there was already a funny thread from over a month ago ...

Yeah. There we had decided that there is no absolute definition of trolling. Following up on that I had the current doubt.

I didn't understand. Do you block them by somehow using tissues or fight them with tissues? Will you please elaborate.

A way I could think what you mean is when trolling happens we do something in chat related to tissue to annoy them. But most probably I would be muted by lichess. But I guess you have way to avoid that. I would love to hear it.

You just find the troll and put a tissue on top of its head. If it's a real stinker, use two tissues.

box of tissues... throw it at the trolls through the screen
yes. how does my opponent blocked 500 troll in chess game and not making a single mistake? i lose many time in a row and get -70 rating, they are 100% cheating (or playing with a fake low rating account), and should get banned
If you feel a need to block more than 500 "trolls", maybe it's time to stop and think a bit if the problem is really you running into so many trolls or if at least part of it may rather be your perception. There is also a famous quote that popped in my head while reading this question but you would likely also call me a "troll" if I mentioned it.

You can mention it, but the definition of a 'troll' is already mentioned in other discussion, so it will cause unnecessary deviation from the question asked. To summarise that discussion, it as you rightly said, the definition depends on one perception. Here, we should discuss ways to block over 500 trolls. We can even make a separate discussion for fighting trolls.
