  • How to kill an internet troll

    There is a simple way to get rid rid of a troll on a forum if the moderators dont feel the need. Starve them.

    Trolls like to eat shit, they feed on it. The more shit the better. They get it by posting childish, pointless threads meant to make others annoyed and angry. Those people post their responses trying to tell them they are idiots, narrow minded, and other less flattering names. The exact things that trolls live for, wish for, and beg for more. They gobble up the shit tossed their way like an eight year old inhales Halloween candy. They live for it.

    The simple solution is to stop feeding the troll with responses and opinions. Simply dont give him the candy crap he craves. When they are no longer a revalent person on the net because no one cares about their long winded, drivel spewing posts, they go away.

    The hard part is for others on the forum to swallow their pride, keep their ego in their shorts, and go on with the thread like the troll's posts are not even there. Many people can't do that. If they hate his crap, why do they continue to feed him more? Trolls know most cant do this and laugh at those who can't let it go. One last thing, not responding to troll's stupid posts does not make him right.

    Stop feeding the trolls.

      this place is greatness compared to where I have been.

      I look at it like real world. long winded is frustrated over something not getting done...its all their own.

      being in my locale, stuff and routines get delayed even today..been 13 years.

      this means good posts, I may not get too. there is an opposite to troll..good people who barely have the net.

        It is not about post count. It is about pushing buttons and causing conflict.

              I shall do better.

                No Stiney, I won't allow that. You cannot take a bullet for me. Don't do that, I won't let you.

                It is me. I've never been a car guy anyhow. Until recently, and then only a little bit. It's me.

                          Are we talking about that pompous jackass that does nothing but tear other people apart and put them down for working on their junk? Has some sociopathic grudge against anything GM? Claims cross-brand engine swaps ruins cars even though he's a member of a forum where that's a normal every-day thing? Wanders into other people's project threads to tell them their efforts will result in a car that's a POS? Yet all he has shown us is that he can open his checkbook and buy a new car? Took it 'racing' on drag-week and drove it slowly...

                          Don't know who you're talking about. Nope.

                          Know what, I'm going to buy a brand new Honda Civic hybrid, go join the HAMB and post about how everyone is ruining their cars by hot rodding them. I'm sure it will go over well.
