How to Spot a Message Board Troll



Instructions.
1
Examine the pattern of message board posts to see if the user knows more about the message board than a new user ("newbie") should know. Does the suspected troll mention events that happened long before their join date? If so, be suspicious.

2
Look at the suspected troll's user name. If it seems to allude to a past even or other user's identity, watch out. This can be a big clue in spotting a message board troll.

3
Go to the suspected troll's member profile, and read his or her past threads and posts. If they all seem negative or about a thread that happened before joining, that is a huge red flag. If so, that's a big clue you're dealing with a troll.

4
Ask the suspected troll lots of questions on the message board. Eventually he or she will trip up, and he will say something that is inconsistent with the persona they've created.

5
Call the troll out. Start a new thread in the most-trafficked area of the message board, and be ready with your suspicions, links to posts where the troll is inconsistent, and start a "flame" on the suspected troll.

6
Ask an administrator to do an "IP check" if the suspected troll denies being a troll. IP cross-checks can show whether two different users come from the same IP address. Some message board administrators will do this for you.

7
Search in a search engine for the troll's user name. You may find other message boards where he or she posts, and find good evidence to use to flush him or her out. Many trolls aren't creative, and reuse the same user name.

8
Put the troll on "ignore" if the board has that feature, and just don't respond to his or her posts.

A troll is like a piece of shit on the base of your shoe. If you dont get rid of it, the shit gets trod wherever you walk :(

I thought about changing it a few times now like i always do, but i'm finding it hard to give up the titties... :(

Seconded :thumbsup

why so much hate? it is consuming you lately. nat leave you for another john? move on then. plenty of holes in the wall.

Please define "troll" for those of us who ignore such nonsense and come here for - gasp! - actual bidnizz.

Is a troll someone not in the Industry who just comes on GFY and bashes people and stirs up shit?

Must be the "not in the Industry" part because many, many "industry insiders" are major league shit-stirrers themselves. LOL (No one in this thread, of course...)

seeandsee

Eh?

No hate here... was making a statement thats pretty true :thumbsup


Anyone not agreeing with a simple quote about trolls being an annoyance, would have to be a troll... Youre not a troll are you Agent 488? :2 cents:

50 trolls

Dude, you and some of those other English guys seem to always be in a catfight, why not make your posts more general and less reactive or directed to individuals?

You play into all the shit that is stirred.. . This is gfy noone cares if you pimp your wife for three dolla fiddy, for real.

This is why I say the bullshit follows a person around when its trod in, unless you clean it off your shoes.

I hadnt mentioned my wife? You do care as you bought it up, even though its not true.

I wasnt speaking about myself or my wife. I also wasnt speaking about other people or their wives. I did write some truth. Im interested in running a business with camshows & parties, film production & being a tog, not pimping.

Im also not interested in those other English trolls with dribble, oozing from their mouths like an English muffins dripping in butter. Again, it seems to be those that follow or troll me.



Who's your biggest troll?

ArseWithNoClass has been a spammer and troll since Day 1 here at GFY.

He appears to be nothing more than a suitcase pimp, which is the lowest of the low in my book. :2 cents:

If ArseWithNoClass is the best that his wifey can do, then open up and swallow is my only advice to her, since that is all that her hubby cares about her. :disgust

ADG

Machete_ got banned? What'd I miss?

Best troll ever is Anal_Hobbit without doubt..I remember his Epass thread where loads of people ran to the bank haha.

finally ,now i can remove him from my ignore list :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

That would involve you looking intelligent though?

Stop walking then Gary, your shoes are fucking COVERED in shit. Your carpets must be ruined.

Simile fail.

An English muffin dripping in butter is really, really nice.

Labret was NOT a troll .... he was very abrasive on the boards sure, but was the nicest bald-headed motherfucker you could ever meet in person ...

I have enjoyed several refreshing beverages with the man, and he is NOTHING like his board persona in real life! :thumbsup:thumbsup

A troll is a fake nick created usually for the sole purpose of shit disturbing ...

A real troll is a GFY member that people would easily relate to, but has his fake nick for ruffling people's feathers - voicing opinions that might get his real nick banned ...

Diabetic Rage, and Son of Rage were 2 BP4L classics!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Nobody here has quite mastered the art of trolling like boneprone did ...

Although Aaron and Fletch have come pretty close!

:thumbsup:1orglaugh:thumbsup

And you are the shit on my shoe :thumbsup

Tasty to eat, not to live with. I would eat you for breakfast :321GFY

Youre wife wonders if it was legal to marry you...

Read puberty & have your come back :thumbsup

Baby Ruth!

Amazing. Another thread turned into a quarrel of the Brit lovers.

And you can't get rid of me, like you claimed. More proof of you being a liar.

You are so very easy to get a response out of. Bless.


Do you even know what a simile is?


Your wife wonders why you, at the age of 42, still don't know the difference between your and you're.


Read puberty?

What are you on about now, love?

Oh come on, I couldn't *not* troll him on a thread about trolling where he claims to be untrollable.

He was asking for it!

:D

gary is class troll as his sites get 4 sales a month and he is a top pimp, pimping his wife for unprotected sex.

Are you really that stupid? You really need to understand the meaning of "troll".

A liar no.. I said, a troll is like the shit on your shoe. If you dont get rid, it follows you about... Do you see the connection here my stalking troll.

Response or just a good father & happy to keep you, a child entertained :thumbsup

My definition of a dribbling knob was not a fail. I had forgot to add "a mouldy" to the muffin comment.

Maybe for 42, ADG should grow up. Youre not far off that & still act like a 2yr old, skank.

You have made Katie K look awful :Oh crap


Can you not take decent pictures :2 cents:

Why don't you get rid of me then?


A response. You are not being a good father, because you are not my father, Luke.

Do your children smoke as well as you?

I bet you a tenner they do.

Brilliant parenting.

A simile is not a definition. And your simile was a fail because everyone likes english muffins dripping with butter. Sorry you still don't get this. A simile is when you say something is like something else.

What has ADG got to do with the price of fish?

All I am doing here, in a thread about trolling, is trolling you. And, as predictably as ever, you keep responding.

The irony is brilliant.

I love how you wear your stupidity on your sleeve like it is something to be proud of.

That was hilarious :1orglaugh

Seriously, no more... youre boring me Damian. Youre too childish for my mind. I cant take the whining.
