I don't think you need new technology or "industry checks". I probably read more than most people but I find it pretty easy to tell who is a troll and who had a nickname banned previously. Half the time they even admit it.
Most of the people who are called trolls here are 80-90% troll/off topic and 10-20% industry or somewhere thereabouts. So they aren't fully trolls. They just post a lot of off topic stuff all the time.
Maybe it's time to simply say that at least 50% of your posts on the main forum in any given 30 day period have to be industry related or you get the boot under the normal system of bans? I don't give a shit myself but I can see where people get annoyed when half the topics are about politics and conspiracies.
