As I said, this way of thinking is extremely susceptible to trolling. Probably the only time AGF really should not be applied is when there is already public aknowledgement of trolling. Otherwise, a lot of time is going to be wasted as every single person enters the thread thinking "well, people call him a troll, but he hasn't done anything troll-like yet!"
Sorry... I do not wish to be an annoyance... Just saw an issue with WP:DENY and its use on IRC that I thought was interesting.
