What's a troll?


Recommended Posts

Here is an example of me being a troll:

[TROLL]

YOu stupid ****ing basturd. AMD rules! Intel sucks! you're stupid. Amd is for the l337. Intel is for the n00bs

AMD! You suck. Why are you so stupid for liking INTEL. I bet your mom is a pimp sucking ######!

[/TROLL]

A troll is someone who can't accept anothers opinion. They spam, flame, and do all kinds of crazy things. Trolls behave like whiny 13 year-olds. They won't shut up and act very childish.

nah goalie thats a flamer lol

a troll is a person that goes out of their way to reply to a topic that doesn't even concern them and the reply is normally a negative one.

Case in point,

anytime a Mac thread goes up and people go on just to take the mick.

"Huh Huh Beavis macs suck

hehehe yeah butthead hehehe pc's rule"

lol:P I could certainly quote some choice words from a few "trolls" that have been and gone from neowin. However i shall politely refrain from doing so.

I agree with Vinh's definition actually.

Anyone who replies simply to stir trouble, make an ass of themselves and demand attention is a troll. Posts are almost always negative and have little if anything to do with the subject of discussion.

Ok, thats my two bits worth... :cheeky:

A troll is someone who tries to do nothing more than create controversy, and get a animated or angry response from people. Their whole purpose is to get attention. The best way to deal with trolls are to simply ignore them. If you are replying to them and feeding their thirst for attention, they will never go away and generally tend to get worse. So if you see a troll post ignore it. Move on. DON"T FEED THE TROLLS!!!!!

I agree with a few of the posts, a troll is basically someone whos out to annoy you, and trying to make you reply in an argumentative style.

IE: Start a fight.

Mind you, its over used, and often incorrectly. For example, I was called a troll some time back, for mearly expressing my opinions about America (which were not liked by americans, however its a personal opinion). And I was labelled a troll, simply because the only people who replied were americans, therefor making me look like a trouble causing minority.

From my experience, trolls and generally kids, idiots, or drunk students :)

They spice up life on usenet sometimes, but you really do need to keep telling yourself that rule 'dont feed the trolls'.

If you bite, you're only going to make yourself look bad.

I think its possible to be a troll not just online but offline too. I know this guy who has a terrible attitude problem, well... he will pick a fight with anyone and for anything. Even if their socks dont match their shoes. Something odd like that. :p

There's already a word to describe that kind of person offline. We call them an a**hole. :ermm:
