Well? There are hundreds of troll threads on GLP everyday as well as 100s of shill posts on here. What is the difference between a troll and a shill?

I think trolls are your average internet jerks sitting at home and posting threads full of lies to stir up trouble and gain thousands of thread views.

Re: Why are trolls allowed to post on GLP? What is the difference between a shill and a troll?
A shill, plant or stooge is a person who helps a person or organization without disclosing that he or she has a close relationship with that person or organization. Shill typically refers to someone who purposely gives onlookers the impression that he or she is an enthusiastic independent customer of a seller (or marketer of ideas) that he or she is secretly working for. The person or group that hires the shill is using crowd psychology, to encourage other onlookers or audience members to purchase the goods or services (or accept the ideas being marketed). Shills are often employed by confidence artists. Plant and stooge more commonly refer to any person who is secretly in league with another person or organization while pretending to be neutral or actually a part of the organization he or she is planted in, such as a magician's audience, a political party, or an intelligence organization (see double agent).

Generally, a shill is: [link to dictionary.reference.com]

“… a person who publicizes or praises something or someone for reasons of self-interest, personal profit, or friendship or loyalty.”

Specifically on the GLP, a shill is a person who doesn’t agree with my opinion, regardless how delusional and unsubstantiated it is and how many times it has been debunked.

A shill is a person who shoots down your post regardless of how much documentation you have to prove your point. Sometimes their reasonings are absurb. If they don't turn general opinion against the thread they are trying to shill, then they usually turn into a troll.

A troll is a tard who tries to disrupt a thread with general retardness.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1427566


Without reading any posts but yours, here is my answer.

Your definition of a troll is correct.

A shill is someone who is paid to post a specific way, just as the classic definition of a shill was a person who said specific things to help perpetuate con jobs.

The problem is that no one gives a fuck what anyone on GLP says. Most of the people here are either minimum wage workers or they're on some form of disability. No on, no corporation or government, is going to pay anyone to convince these idiots of anything.

For the most part, shills are either trolls or they're sane. The post things that the paranoids on GLP don't want to see, so they get labeled "shills".

Trolls are losers who get their kicks by starting arguments and derailing threads.

Shills are posters with an agenda. They want to promote certain specific topics or viewpoints, but they make effort to not to be discovered as the biased and closed-minded source that they truly are.
