Using deception to combat annoyance is a mistake. It makes your site and network look like garbage; fake random errors and dial-up load speeds. A user who has been accidentally or wrongfully punished cannot know what's going on and has no recourse or process of appeal. Anti-transparency; essentially lies. Terrible, juvenile choices.

    It's also pointless, especially here, where someone can post anonymously or just create a new account. Here at PM, the best option we have is to ignore the troll. And I personally do not have a problem if Monks use some web magic to make that easier. For me, i will still see a node is there, just not the contents unless I drill down into the message. Specifically, this is the code I'm using in my display settings: 
    tr.pmnote-<monkid_goes_here> { display: none; }
