If the devices you select aren't in your allowed list then they won't be able to connect to the network.

MAC filtering isn't bad, and it will keep the honest people off of the network. If someone obtains your wireless key though they can passively monitor different machines that are connected. When one of the connected machines bandwidth usage is idle you can hop right on by spoofing your MAC to match the computer that is already approved. If you are in a hurry you can flood the auth'd machine with spoofed AP authorization requests, which will knock them off.

Trolls are the last thing you need to be concerned with.
