I can think of one con, and that is we would exclude a large portion of the internet, particularly those of the b.net and diablo community, from posting here. That would be important since this site covers games around that area. They might have actualy something useful to contribute to the community.
Example: http://www.battle.net/forums.shtml
Also, it is possible that trolls promote forum unity. When a troll strikes, forum members will often band together to excorise the troll, as can be seen in this chain of posts. One could say that such idiocy is benificial and even necessary, as it reduces petty inter-lurker squabbles, making the community better for all. This trend can be seen in forums throughout the internet.

*Obviously not prepared for real debate*
*Runs away from the inevitable storm of potatoes and fruits that will be hurled at me. *
Arguing for something you don't believe in is more fun, although it can be really hard to get started!

With great power comes the great need to blame other people.
