I don't think so.

If this were a big problem I'd go back and look for the method of 
downloading messages, not just headers, then parsing the messages and 
deleting ones that were follow-ups to the trolls. That wasn't practical 
back in the days of slow internet connections and smaller disk drives, 
but it's not impractical anymore.

But it's not really a big problem because so few people respond to the 
trolls, they either have them filtered out completely, or they ignore 
them. If someone constantly responds to them then they can just be 
filtered out as well. Or in some cases the trolls have destroyed a 
Usenet newsgroup so completely that they are the only ones left.

Most of the responses to the trolls' posts are just complaints about 
them trolling, it would be great if people could resist responding like 
that.

I just hope that Donald Trump doesn't show up on Usenet now that he's 
been banned from Twitter and Facebook. I heard that he's looking into 
Yik Yak, and Google+.
