Anti-troll 101

Anti-troll 101

Dear members:

These are not cyber-war tactics ()…these are just common sense/courtesy/decency type tactics that if properly deployed could do this forum a world of good:

When a troll starts a thread:

IGNORE IT. Don’t respond…it just PERPETUATES the thread no matter how good your intentions because you bring the ‘troll’ thread back up where it certainly doesn’t belong.

REPORT it: Rather than responding you can right click on the ‘mother thread’ link and save the link and forward it to an Administrator whom can remove the link if it’s repugnant or rude etc.


REMEMBER: A troll wants attention…ignore him…and he leaves…keep giving him a trail of crumbs and he’ll follow.

Follow?

(((HUGS)))

joetheblow, you've been a troll! Everyone light the torches and get your silver bullets and chase joetheblow down!

joetheblow, not a bad point but () anyone who has a legitimate bone to pick or an honest grievance to air is really not a troll anyhow and DOES deserve the respect to be heard most definitely.

I guess I once was a 'phone troll' of sorts...

/me used to do prank phone calls live on the air on those 'home shopping channels' but that was many moons ago and before caller i.d. (don't worry, my jokes were always PG Example: I’d gush over the ‘on air’ product and then say in a panicky voice, “Oh my! I gotta go! My laxative just kicked in!”) Hey, the hosts DID laugh ya know! hehe

/me has grown up a teensy bit since then. Then again...


Argh! The board has the hiccups again!

da_zman20, the hard part was making up an actual account and name each time and waiting a few weeks and then calling in and actually GETTING on air after 50 redials to zap 'em with my zingers. Do you know how much wasted effort that takes to be so devious?

/me 's funny-bone used to get her into trouble.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they are okay, then it's you.
