Perhaps it should be set up to automatically reject posts containing words and phrases such as 'low scores', 'you just didn't get it', 'is this fair', 'lazy', 'malicious'. This would force the whingers to expend some of their fury on searching for acceptable synonyms or alternative phrases. By the time they had composed an innocuous 'thank you' they probably wouldn't feel like posting it anyway.

I know that mandrake roots are supposed to scream when they are pulled up, but do other root vegetables bleat? It's enough to turn me off carrots.
