How fucking dull and meaningless must your life be to respond to a troll in the full knowledge that the person is trolling? Maybe I'm just not very sharp at spotting obvious trolls. It would be handy if they could have a wee badge next to their avatar. Moderators have a wee shield. New members have a wee hand. For trolls, a wee cock and balls symbol would do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 The Twitter thread should be for "look at this c**t" content. Not sharing your beige sense of humour tweets you have found. It's not an extension of your awful retweet filled Twitter account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most disconcerting thing for a troll is to treat them calmly and seriously, as if they mean what they say. Freaks them out big style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you respond to a troll they will respond to you and they will keep going. Even when you not saying much they will keep baiting you. If you are not getting anything out of the exchange just stop.

Pretty pleased with myself. A new poster appeared, and is stinking up the Covid 19 thread. Spotted and ignored him. And that's without my suggested addition to the avatar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Trolls should be dealt with by locking horns and taking them to task. Forums used to resemble a vast marketplace of ideas and are now little more than dingy backstreets with malfeasance around every corner. By ignoring the problem it will only get worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nominated those where exactly the same stock phrases get trotted out by a variety of posters. I even provided an example for Christ's sake. I've no idea why this seems to be conceptually beyond a couple of you. ^^^ Verge of tears, etc 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
