Talk:Troll

Nugget isn't a troll, he's just cranky. HeatherChandler 01:37, February 3, 2007 (CST)

Agreed. He's more of a comment spammer, not a troll. Dr-R337 01:39, February 3, 2007 (CST)

Wolfson and Dantheman are deserving to be on this page. -- fyrestorm 02:15, February 3, 2007 (CST)

Edit Requests

This article was locked due to constant vandalism, along with NARV and Comment Spammer. These articles were said to be deleted, but apparently never were. I was thinking that if these articles are still here, they should at least be updated so it wont show old useless info, but how? I was thinking of creating an edit request section in the talk pages. Users would add a request and when an admin sees the new request he adds it to the list under his approval, both to keep vandals away and to keep these articles useful. Also, somewhere on the articles, there should be a message that says "This article was last updated (month) (day), (year)", so users would know when it was last updated. So, what do you think? -bruno

I think this is a good idea, though I'd almost favor just deleting all three of these articles. I suppose they should stay up until the mod system is in place and then reports can just be made directly. I may just unlock the article, too, if the request idea becomes too much of a hassle.

GucheHair ... Whetstone and peterguy?

GucheHair it not a troll either I don't think. It seems to me that hes more of a comment spammer. He belongs on the downvoter list or on the comment spammer list. This list is for users that partake in faggotry that doesn't classify as comment spamming, downvoting, or NARVishness alone (Such as submitting a wave of shock sites, Using lots of alt accounts to mass upvote or downvote (as opposed to using only one account). --Rylasasin 15:53, February 3, 2007 (CST)

- I agree that Guchehair needs to be added to this list. he singlehandedly kept dozens of sites off UAC yesterday and has re registered again -- MasterSitsu = February 25

I'll add Dantheman and Wolfson. Though i need an opinion on this... what about Whetstone and his accomplice Peterguy? do they count as trolls too? --Rylasasin 15:53, February 3, 2007 (CST)

Offense: They would keep spamming ytmnd with religious messages even when asked to stop by the majority of ytmnd users. While they aren't anywhere as malicious as say TB or MW, I still say they still should have their place on the list for their actions. --Rylasasin 15:53, February 3, 2007 (CST)

oh ok sorry--tehpwnerer2 20:05, February 3, 2007 (CST)

Guchehair has been IP banned from YTMND due to constantly making dozens of alt accounts, posting shock images, and trolling YTMND in general.

Cthulhu138

Should he count as a troll? He always usually uses the same sound and while he has made a fanbase (including from myself), alot of people dislike him.- Jake 24:01, February 25, 2007 (CST)

LUE1337

The guy's already been banned a few times, uses webwarper to go around it. Comment spams, posts shock sites, mass e-venges, etc. Dali 09:59, February 25, 2007 (CST)

2007 = year of the troll?

You know, like 2006 was pretty much the year of the NARV, 2007 looks like it's gonna be the year of the troll. An impressive amount of trolls are joining and creating massive amounts of site, upvoting each other and downvoting everything else. Should there be a mention of this in this article or is it not important enough yet? Dali 21:14, March 21, 2007 (CDT)

Shenmoo/Skerlnick

I trolled (or rather, fucked around) for a very short time on my original username Shenmoo, I'm surprised I'm listed here. However, I do wish to point out that even though I use the name Skerlnick now, I am not a troll and have never been one with this account. I don't consider myself a troll in any case because I was here for a long time before I decided to mess around for about a week. - Skerlnick 2:02, March 28, 2007 (EST)

awww that's cute =)--momthinksimcool 04:24, May 11, 2007 (CDT)

Yaoifangurl4U ?

Is that user a troll or a NARV? I can only tell that that user is a heterophobe. --Artman40 07:38, April 8, 2007 (CDT)

Sociology thesis?

Me and some other students did an undergraduate sociology thesis on internet trolling as it relates to the nsfw forums and to a lesser extent the front page. I was wondering if anyone thought it would be appropriate to add some of it here or maybe upload the file somewhere and link it. It's 75 pages (actually titled tldr) so i can submit an edited or truncated version once I find the time. Also before reporting this post for vandalism please pm me for evidence, because I'm not joking, although I suspect this may not be taken seriously... --momthinksimcool 17:27, May 11, 2007 (CDT)

I'd like to see it :D BTape 18:00, May 11, 2007 (CDT)

Humor?

Shouldn't there be some discussion of trolling as a form of humor? I mean this is a humor site after all and humor is very important to trolling. I'd write something now but really don't have the time.. maybe later. --momthinksimcool 17:46, May 11, 2007 (CDT)

my deffinition of a troll

• people that repeatedly post the same image and/or clip (especialy if it is that stupid 3500hz thing because that is ment to piss people off) I think it's ok to re-post but no more than 3 times. if it didn't make 'up and coming' the third time then it never will.
• attacking other users because it's so stupid
• attacking or conspiracy to attack other sites including chat rooms or discussion boards
• if more than 15% of your sites are shock sites
• child porn (duh)
• abuse of the wiki
• stealing content

if this does not fit the troll catagory there should be "malicious user" category for this I also think NARVs are just users that don't get the ettiquitte of ytmnd or downvote because they don't get the jokes

feel free to add your 2 cents to this
