What is a troll,
what do they do,
why do they do it,
and what can one do about them?
There are some individuals out there who don't just enjoy winding up people it's their sad lifestyle choice! Using every known disruptive trick in the book, these troublesome types don't go out to the pub, meet members of the opposite sex or enjoy life. They spend their time hunched over their computers trolling but sometimes they hide out and take caches.
Here's how they work:
INTRODUCTION
The object of this cache is to bring together a definitive cache to cover the phenomena of the Troll. To many a troll is nothing more than an annoying method of defeating the killfile whereas to the heavily killfiled, trolling can be a virtual Godsend.
What I want this cache to focus on is how to create entertaining trolls. I have drawn on the expertise of the finest and best remembered trolls. Trolls are for fun. The object of recreational trolling is to sit back and laugh at all those gullible idiots that will believe *anything*.
Section 1: What Is A Troll?
The WWW gives this as a definition:
troll v.,n. To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies"; which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling";, a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite.
The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll.
The following extract is from a broader expansion of the defining comments given above:
In Usenet usage, a troll is not a grumpy monster that lives beneath a bridge accosting passers-by, but rather a provocative posting produce a large volume of frivolous responses.
The content of a "troll posting generally falls into several areas. It may consist of an apparently foolish contradiction of common knowledge, a deliberately offensive insult to the readers for follow-up postings.
There are three reasons why people are trolls
People post such messages to get attention, to disrupt , and simply to make trouble.
Career trolls tend to be the latter two whilst the former is the mark of the clueless newbie and should be ignored. This cache is to reintroduce what trolls should actually be . So if you are curiosity is peeked ; seek out this cache and see what Trolls really are.
But my Trolls do not fit that description. Come and seek a troll, and discover what they really are.
