Trolls

Trolls, flamers, griefers, jerks: They are known by many names, but they are always KNOWN. Let's peel back the mystery and take a look inside the world of the troll.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I had a good laugh over this. Reminds me of many people on the Vine.

I printed it for future reference. I could easily put names to the various categories. Some are really special, they would fit more than one category. Funny that people who fit some of these categories don't consider it trolling, but their "sincere" effort to make the Vine better/or the way it was.

The apples and prunes sweeten the meat, keep it moist and absorbs the fat. I don't eat the stuffing.

There used to be such good trolls on Newsvine. The trolls I encounter now-a-days are just a pale shadow by comparison. This article sheds no new light on the subject. My advice is to read through this article one more time, Kiml, and consider if you still want to keep it posted. You may want to use your spell checker, too.

(My first attempt at trolling, how am I doing?)

I do use spell checker but the actual site had a word that my spell checker highlighted. I checked the spelling and found it accepted in most countries but the US. Being a Canadian I let it pass. Remember we spell using the English language with words like humour.

Reread it? I read it twice and laughed more than twice. I would like to keep it posted.

Second to last: If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying.

Lastly: Not bad for a troll!

Thank you, kiml. I just threw that about the spell checker in as a final touch, I didn't actually check your spelling. I think I have been exposed to trolls without knowing it. It's good to know what to look for next time I feel someone is being obtuse.

Thanks for the article. Before reading it, I had actually started to wonder if I was a troll. I bounce around and read the funny stuff mostly. I use Newsvine as a way to relax and have a laugh. Occasionally I'll comment on a serious article, but in no way do I expect to change the way people think. I thought since I wasn't doing anything useful or changing the world, that made me a troll. When I read about the spat going on with how only "important" news needed to be on the front page, it made me think hey, some people are serious about this, and maybe I need to find a "lighter" board.

Anyway, I was happy to find out I'm not a troll :-)

Oh this HAS to be posted here....

I make more on a part time job than you probable make in a year so don't even try the other childish non-sense with me. I also trouble shoot Satellites and Fiber optic transmission while maintaining communications links across the entire U.S. and Oceanic cables. I teach CPR/First aid and have 3 black-belts while working on a 4th. I earned Marksmen while on active duty and my 5ft 6in frame has never been over 175 pounds with a 6% body fat count. I can also be a Government Carrier when called upon and in those times I have a signed letter which authorizes me to shoot anyone (that includes Law Enforcement) if they try to open the container.

And this had absolutely NOTHING to do with the thread discussion at the time!!!!

Was a HILARIOUS thread reading about his self-promotion of his "job". Nevermind that it had nothing whatsoever to do with the topic!!!

Then the icing on the cake...

Tell you what try going pass the guard-shed for the Mountain someday and see what happens when you get to the main gate. Just before you get to it you might wanna take that left turn and hit the gym back to the right so you can warm up for the the beat down you get a the gate.

I still send links to my friends to read that thread!!!!

Am a staunch supporter of gay rights. People I love more than anyone on earth are gay. I made a joke taken from the text of your seed from Cracked Magazine, and now you want to falsely paint me as some kind of rascist, bigoted hater. Good luck with that, you are one of those sad people who can never admit they are wrong. I will make it a point to avoid anything you seed in the future and your creepy friend Jpark, as well.

They have 1, 3, 6 or 9 heads. All have to be chopped off at the same time. They live inside mountains - or are the mountain! They can scent the blood of Christians a mile away. They have a problem with lice, so they apply extraordinary rendition techniques in order to get princesses into their dungeons, where the poor princesses are made to de-lice the trolls until they are rescued.

I was born in New York. Men jeg ka' da s'gu ligevel vide noget om troll.

Ental ubestemt en trold
Ental bestemt trolden
Flertal ubestemt trolde
Flertal bestemt troldene

definitely no ø. Interesting that Danish uses "en", while we Norwegians use "et" (neuter) How old were you when you left Denmark?
