I've seen news articles that Drudge has linked to that have Facebook comments where people use their real name. This may surprise some people but -- they're not usually very polite! And every evil subreddit I've come across was the result of "effective moderation", they moderated everyone who isn't evil. Lax moderation, the good ole downvote button & find some way to discourage circle jerks, that's probably all you can do. You're never going to make the Internet not be a sewer though.

Evil people are allowed to have communities. In an evil community, it's probably the "good" user who is usually a troll, so it makes sense for them to be unwelcome. What's interesting about Reddit is, to what extent is a subreddit its own community vs part of the Reddit community? Probably better for evil people to set up their own forums, or preferably to not be evil at all.
