United States 02/19/2008 02:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | how to handle a Troll... and beat them at their own game Some good suggestions for dealing with Trolls here: [ link to www.angelfire.com] "This page is a step by step guide to handling a Troll on Usenet, or any other discussion forum on the Internet. Or, more precisely, it is a step by step guide to beating a Troll at their own game. "There are too many Trolls that infest Newsgroups and discussion forums - this site gives you some ideas about how to stop their antics permanently. "Before we begin, though, understand this: the best way to deal with a Troll is to ignore them entirely. They are not worth your time, however you may feel about their comments. "However, this site recognises that sometimes you may be unwittingly drawn into a 'conversation' with them. This site will help you to deal with that situation. "How To Handle A Troll" is updated on a semi-regular basis. You might like to visit this page again to learn new tactics against the Trolls. Similarly, you might like to let your friends know about the site. After you have finished reading, please link to this guide from your website. "Don't let anyone get destroyed by the Trolls!"

This whole board is controversial. Some people know how to have mature conversations about things they don't agree on and some don't. The world would be an awfully boring place, if we all agreed on everything.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 285715Yup, and I don't mind the controversy or disagreement one bit. I actually love the differing views. It's only those looking to deliberately disrupt, distract, attack and take away from the discussion just to get attention for themselves who I think should be completely ignored or addressed properly. I've tended to unwittingly engage them, and can usually shut them up, but it often takes time away from researching and posting useful information and responses that could be of benefit to others. I think it's good to know how to deal with them. |

United States 02/19/2008 03:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: how to handle a Troll... and beat them at their own game People just don't like blunt honesty and those who convey it are referred to as trolls. What amazes me is people actually take the internet seriously after all these years, I don't and can't figure out why some still do. The web is mainly chalk full of shit anyway, the real positive aspect about it is freedom to express yourself how you like without having to give a shit about what other's 'may' think. I love telling someone how I feel about them and really meaning it, it's a nice feeling. Of course, there are still a lot of people on the internet just surfing for acceptance which is pretty sad, it shows how young in their development they are. Don't get me wrong, I did the same thing once upon a time..... Like when I was a child! |
