If I were a troll and wanted to disrupt Daily Kos, I wouldn't bog down individual diaries with comments that could be troll-rated onto the hidden list. I wouldn't waste my time arguing with libruls.
If I really wanted to disrupt Daily Kos, I would clog the Recent Diary list with useless unsubstantial diaries. At present (as far as I know) there is no way to delete a diary unless the diarist deletes it.
If I were a troll, I would get together with a half-dozen trollish friends, set up 3 or 4 user-names apiece, wait around for a week, then start posting diaries.
* our diaries would be short (why waste our time)
* our diaries might not be obvious right-wing propaganda (why reveal ourselves and be banned)
* just for added fun, our diaries might have those irritatingly ambiguous titles (e.g. "Can you believe this?") that would disclose nothing of their contents, requiring people to open them.
