Posts with comments disabled will be deleted (as per the rules of this comm). This is expecially true if they are posts by people who come into a community simply to troll and insult the members (and in rather a hypocritical fashion, might I add, considering the compression on your last usericon).

This is a community for book icons. This is not a ratings community, a "we only accept you if you can jump through hoops for us" icon community, or a place where people come to be insulted. It is just a place to post book icons, and if you feel the inexplicable need to critique something, be constructive about it.

And if you're a coward and keep deleting your inflammatory posts and disabling comments, then I guess that's what the ban tool was made for.

edit: and I just said the exact same thing as Connie :)

A "troll" is someone who comes in purely to harass people, more or less. They'll post something inflammatory and sit back to watch the fun that arises from it when people get offended. There are slight variations between breeds of trolls (some reply back to people, others don't, for example), but that's the overall idea.
