Been seeing a lot of Trolls lately?

So I've played almost 750 hours of this awesome game, and just lately (last week or so) I've been noticing a much higher than usual number of trolls on random servers. Not sure if I'm just unlucky or if they're following me around :P. Has anyone else been experiencing the same or is it just me...
When I say troll I mean the ones that like to jump in the comm chair/hive and either waste res or recycle everything. They then easily change their name to (insert random competitive player's name) and continue to troll the next couple rounds.
Obviously it's extremely hard to do anything about this other than pray the server op is around to ban, but I just wanted to make a thread to see if this is a growing trend atm or if like I said, I've just been unlucky.

They kept saying "Get owned scrubs.", "we own this server.", "you may as well just leave.", ad nauseum.
I really wish more servers had active admins.
Try to friend as many admins on Steam as you can, so if you run across a troll in game it should be easy enough to Shift+Tab and contact the admin.
That said, if anyone is a server admin, I strongly suggest joining this group so other people can find you easier. (Don't forget to post a thread there with your server name).
The best approach against trolls/cheaters is a community-oriented one. Do your part!
The usual "jump in chair, recycle stuff spent resources"
But only one case in ~55hrs in the last two weeks on various servers.
after joining 3-4 mins into a game, begging to command, then selling everything - he renamed himself as 'admin'. then managed to get into the comm chair again without anyone noticing. about 1 minute into the new game he recycled everything.
pretty funny that when he realised noone was getting angry; he resorted to rasist/offensive namecalling.
Not the biggest deal, my personal problem is when someone afks in-game and you can't move them to spectate or anything, not only is it a wasted slot, it's a wasted slot of someone on your team
It is always fun when the troll gets trolled. Gotta love it when they try their damnedest to piss people off and no one bites!
You state your self that (regarding their name) "changes them after each round". Why is every one so quick to attribute these actions to 1 of their handles? I've gotten a lot of publicity since these antics started when I am just another victim. I think this is their biggest troll. They get their victims punished for their actions when you all go lynch mob after the wrong people.
commander trolling is pretty hilarious actually.
it's like instead of straight-up mugging someone; they prefer to help them do their grocery shopping, then mow their lawn, then wash their car, then mug them.
learn to troll :P
If I see any more i'll be sure to ban them.
The person's steam name is Jason Mog and it's easier to refer to the person by the name rather than their number. I have actual recordings of him and his pals doing it. If it's you or not doesn't matter as long as your steamid doesn't match his, then you're fine.
was a first
He was actually a good com himself, so maybe he's one of those unfriendly pros we know from NS1 back then. Very annoying people ruining the mood of a whole server. Nobody likes reading offending words line for line in a chat for a whole round while trying to communicate.

stupid esa
Unless there's 2 of them and they convince everyone else that "X is bad commander, I just played with them, you should eject them.", or there's 3-4 of them and they eject anyone who isn't them.
next game I go marines and same guy is on my team, hop in chair before him and he spends the next 10minutes trying to hack his way into my chair with an axe. unfortunately I have to hop out to defend again, at which point he hops right in. luckily we eject him before he can do damage, but now I'm more free with the hopping out, because I know he can't chair jack me anymore... which doesn't mean he doesn't try... I think I ended up chair killing him 5-6 times that game, and once in a newly purchased rail gun exo. my first and only exo kill as a marine
eject fast, eject early, and all you have to deal with is being down a player.
