Author Topic: "DONT FEED THE TROLL!!"- It isn't working, just please stop (Read 4895 times)

Many times I have went into troll topics and as usual, saw members feeding the troll. Also, it never fails, someone always has to say "Stop feeding the troll guys." Let me ask you something, does this ever work? Does one solitary post immediately stop all posting to the topic? No.

Some examples:

Stop feeding the troll.

And their are, plenty, plenty more. Just check out the search results:

So believe me, I am all for people stopping feeding these trolls. But seriously, stop saying people should stop feeding them. It never works and it is like trying to reason with a garden shovel.

Did you forget to put something to search for?

Figures.

Fine, guess it has to be done the hard way. Just type in "stop feeding the troll" and search.

Its true that it's ineffective. Plus people have fun trolling the trolls.

It doesn't work because people were already in discussion with a troll and they tend to ignore every other post and focus on the "idiot".

It's because the majority of the community hasn't been on any forums before and are not able to listen to reason.

Also, this community is way too easy to troll.

I believe the biggest problem WE have is that OUR trolls are rather more idiotic than annoying.

The perfect example of an "internet newb" (As in being too easy to troll) is Megaguy.

A majority of the users on this forum don't even understand what a troll is. Granted, a majority of the trolls don't even know how to troll properly. The point of trolling is to anger someone in order to get a "satisfying" reaction out of them. Letting people publicly know you're trolling makes you 1.) Not a troll but, just an idiot. 2.) Makes you look like a bigger rooster head than you did before you said you were trolling.

People do it be coooooooooooool

My only nerve with some people here is that they just yell "TROLL!" whenever they think they've seen a troll, which causes two things;

1) Everyone to bandwagon whoever accused person of being a troll and keep feeding attention to a person who they think is a troll.
2) Everyone to bandwagon whoever accused person of being a troll and keep feeding attention to an actual troll.

For forget's sake. Learn what a god damn troll is and how to spot one. It just makes me want to shoot a baby in the face every time some assfaced handicap slams his face on the keyboard going "TROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL" and pours buckets of attention on the troll.

You are especially loving guilty. I've seen you on more than a few occasions go screaming off the top of your head "TROLL!". Most of the time there isn't even a loving troll, you just say that because you think you actually know what a troll is and for some reason (God knows why) everyone bandwagons with you and accuses a person who isn't trolling, of trolling.

That, or you actually feed attention to a troll.
So kindly shut the forget up until you learn what a troll is.
