Doesn't seem likely - the key to trolling is lack of accountability, in a small community everyone would know you were being a jerk?

What if the system allowed anonymous accounts?

It'd be interesting if one had to go visit an admin (in real life) to get an account, and accounts are really associated with people.

Guys... people are jerks IRL too, in small communities too.

Sure, but no one gives them a bag of tomatoes / a pie / helps fix their roof? Being a jerk to people IRL has obvious consequences.

Some people REALLY like jerks.

I have one of these, not in operation but could deploy by just plugging into power and attaching it to a higher gain antenna. It does have a message-baord type function included, but it's anonymous and there's no sign-in so there's also no way to administer it or edit / delete your own messages (piratebox is a product of a more innocent age, maybe). It's also possible to upload files to it, anonymously.

Both of these things make me worry about liability in the event of the type of jerks where the term "jerk" is possibly the nicest way to describe the person.

(I have it on a GL.Inet Mango device and it took me a lot of digging to find the install binaries and instructions, and I don't even know if said binaries and instructions specific to the Mango exist anymore - I don't have the time / energy / motivation to try to dig it up again, I remember there were lots of trails that led to almost the right information)
