Trolling Preference Survey

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

When someone whines that there's no good trolls anymore or that Troll X was better than Troll Y, what are they really saying? Were these superior trolls more annoying or less annoying? The purpose of a troll is to irritate if not infuriate, isn't it? Doesn't being a "bad" troll mean one is a successful troll anyway you look at it?

From now on, when someone suggests you should leave the trolling to someone else like Troll X or flat out insults you by claiming you simply no good at it, take them to task for their meager attempts to discredit your trolling. Ask them, "How so?"

First one to point out this is not a survey = troll.

It's just troll rockism innit?

It's feeding the troll is what it is. Just calling someone a troll let's them know they've read your post, got annoyed and couldn't help but respond. Telling someone they're a "bad" troll is just more delicious.

how i read ilx these days:

a) posters name: familiar? yes: read post / no -> b

b) login: familiar / available? yes: read post / no -> c

c) post length < 3 lines? yes: read post / no -> d

d) vague scan of post: does it say "troll" somewhere? no: read post / yes: sorry bye!!

im not sure if that answers the question because i havent read it, obviously
