What? Didn't I go back enough years?
It's really sad that you just can't seem to get your head around that pesky 9th commandment.
Why is it that evos are so quick to invoke commandments about lying when it doesn't even apply? Why are you guys so obsessed with it that you'll do it even when you make fools of yourself doing so?
How is my saying that I've never seen you ever post anything nice a lie? You just admitted in the previous sentence that what I said was true. Then you accuse me of lying?
How does that work in the evo amoral system?
it’s probably best to just ignore the trolls like xcamel- she isn’t interested in intellectual honesty- only in gettign a rise out of people— it’s a sad little life that thrives on attention, and revels in pulling people into futile arguments- the goal of a troll is to drag topics offtopic for pages- just keep reporting her troll behavior- perhaps, with any luck, she’ll go the way of al lthe past FR trolls who were booted (then turn around and play the martyr lol)- don’t bother asking her questions- she isn’t itnerested in engagign you or anyone else in honest discussion, as she’s more than amply proven time and time again
Playtime Trolls
Playtime trolls are relatively easy to spot, but they may not be apparent to the naive user. There isn’t a single set of characteristics that applies to playtime trolls, but you can look for some or all of the following signs:
a lack of buy-in to the list philosophy or values
generally low level of activity, with sudden spurts of interaction - or perhaps a new persona that has strong opinions on controversial subjects
a mixture of friendly posts with a confrontational style of interaction
the use of provocative language and sweeping generalisations about certain topics or categories of people
a lack of in-depth understanding of the topic
a lack of personal information
a lack of a genuinely unique perspective on the topic
a lack of humour
restarting topics that have already been done
use of language that encourages the dialogue to enter topics that are controversial and likely to upset some team members
the use of an attention-seeking gimmick (e.g.: “I was once exploited by an XYZ”)
inconsistencies in the style and nature of the post and any proclaimed information (e.g.: claiming to be a child but writing with an adult style; claiming to be adult, but writing with a childish grammatical construction).
also note that trolls often seem to use free email services (such as hotmail.com) or have email addresses ending in .edu. However, trolls could be virtually anyone, and the email address is no guide as to whether the persona is a bona fide user or not.
To counteract playtime trolls, the best action is to ignore them. If you are convinced they are trolls, then you can advise the list manager. However, if other group members respond to the suspected troll’s posts, then you may have to consider some of the responses outlined for tactical or strategic trolls.
