Trolls Trolling....why?

[Messybrownhair 251]

Just wondering why people would come to this site to troll?

I don't use this site for more than doing research and trying to get answers about the K1 process, but have noticed in a few discussions in the Philippines forum that there seem to be a few trolls (no names mentioned) that have been called out.

What could one possibly get from trolling this site?

Just curious.

We all know who that is even if you don't say it! Lol

I have found this resource a very useful one in recognizing trolls and the various other members of similar ilk who frequent internet forums:

http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/troller.htm You might want to check the other listed players in this group through the pull down menu. Some of them are definitely here on VJ as well .

One site where I also moderate has a relatively foolproof way of dealing with trolls. Of course, no one here would appreciate it but it works on that site because it is a tightly focused special interest group and if people want to post, they have to play by the rules. Every single post is moderated. Nothing reaches the forum until it has been read and approved by the site owner or a moderator. Censorship? Yep. No flaming, baiting, trolling or insulting posts gets through. Disagreements and differences of opinions are welcome and posted - as long as they don't violate the Terms of Service. Members who fail to post in the appropriate manner have their posts sent back to them and asked to re-write them. It is their choice whether they want to bother or not. Most do - and find that they are able to make their comments without violating the TOS.

It definitely wouldn't work here !

You moderate other sites? So you are kind of like a troll.

Yep - four other sites, although VJ is the most active - I guess this is me: http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/nanny.htm

Nah, just a very efficient multi-tasker . If you saw our inside cats you would quickly see they don't go hungry and the feral colony only needs feeding once a day.

Face it, Gary, I'm just GOOD at what I do .
