Just curious! I notice a lot of obvious troll posts on here and people continually get mad at them. Why is that? If you don't feed the troll, they will go elsewhere. Unless of course you actually want them to stay, so you enable them on purpose.
Hmm. It seems like almost every reaction to a troll results in a loss. I personally think the 2edgy4u, asshole apologist, "BUT SOME TROLLS ARE OKAY!" attitude that has become increasingly popular on IIN recently is more frustrating; at least people who get angry at trolls are showing a bit of soul, even if that reaction is ultimately what gives trolls kicks.
Reporting and deleting the comments of people who troll (and ignoring all their future comments) is the best policy. Silence them and refuse to acknowledge them, even when they're not trolling.
Why can't I play with idiots?
Also, I've learned from experience that they don't go away if you ignore them, rationalise with them, sympathise, play along or anything else. Some people are just cunts.
Completely agree with this comment. There is one troll on this site that doesn't care if you ignore him he just keeps on trolling (or in his case acts like a cunt just cos he can)
Yes, people just keep on trolling on this website. The useless moderators don't help either.
Hoe stop talking about yourself.turn the mirror at yourself before judging others.
I just genuinely don't care about trolls. I don't care if I think someone isn't a troll and I answer them honestly only to be decieved. I don't care if a troll is trying to push me to anger. I don't take them seriously. I don't think anything of them at all. So I feed trolls, intentionally, in the right situations, because it's the easiest way to get them to stop talking.
For the most part I ignore someone who trolls. Though on occasion I will answer the post with something that's completely irrelevant.
I have noticed that too. The best example is Crusades, who I am not sure if he really thinks everything he says, or is just fucking with everyone, but I understand why he does it because his comments always get a rise out of somebody.
Honestly, I stopped caring about the trolls. This may be controversial to say on the site but IIN is dying. It has about 20-30 users active on it, if not a little more at most. The users on here are pretty much just a small gathering of people on the internet and I don't even think we're large enough to be called a community anymore.
Due to this, I'm not too fussed about the trolls. All that is on this site anymore are questions we've answered countless times and troll posts that are the same countless times to the point you can't really just be pissed with the troll side.
The trolls won't go, and if they did this place would be a lot smaller, and for some fucked up reason I don't want that to happen. The only way for trolls to go is if they were drownd out by a rise of legit users here to use the site how it was intended but like I said, IIN is dying.
I'll miss this place when it finally flatlines.
The most voracious trolling is usually done when the troll is also the OP and vehemently disagrees with himself.
I'm one of theses 'trolls' however I've been here for years, difference is most of them are pure try hards. I will be ignorant, egotistical and disrespectful when ever I want. It's my given right. My opinion is my own, and isn't getting thrown at everyone to accept. We all view things differently.
It's the Internet and people will be who they are, i don't like trolling i am more thirsty
