Help, an online community that I go on and really like has this massive troll that keeps on trolling/bashing/flaming me.

The only thing is that he’s a mod so I can’t do anything about it. What should I do? I’ve tried ignoring it, but it just gets worse.

Report him to the administrators of the site. Send along copies of what he’s said that was hurtful to you.

That’s one reason I left AOL more than a decade ago. Their “mods” were usually on some kind of power trip. You probably won’t be able to get anything done. AOL just sent you “form letter” emails if you complained. If enough of you, however, get together and email the administrator of the site, you MIGHT get something done.

Yeah, all you can really do is report him. But chances are nothing will be done about it, but try anyway - it’s good to alert them of the problem and have a “paper trail”.
Unfortunately mods don’t always act “modly”. Even here.
