Anatomy of a Forum Troll

TheToastedOne
It has come to my attention that there have been numerous accounts of trolling occurring on these forums.

I want to take a minute and try to elaborate on the reasons as to why such actions are taking place. Please keep in mind, these poor, poor souls simply can not help themselves from trolling relentlessly around these forums. Due to years of trolling all over the country, and even the world, they have developed unique characteristics that are simply so fascinating and so unique, I just had to share them.

UPDATE: After being trolled myself, I've decided to make a few adjustments. Please, please, please do not feed the trolls. That is all.

    Remember, the best way to handle a Forum Troll is to "Troll" them right back.

    Don't feed the troll!
    just leave it be, under it's bridge where its dark & dank... like their souls

    Passive/aggressive trolls are actually better left alone, don't troll them back that's what they are looking for

    We throw the word around constantly but truth is everyone has a little troll in them just waiting to come out. I speak only the truth.

    Remember, if you tell someone to stop bothering you...
    They'll continue to bother you.
