how do you deal with trolls?

trolling (i admit is fun) can be annoying if it's directed at you, how do you give trolls the displeasure and deal with them so they don't bother you?2012-09-23 01:22:00

I simply out-troll them. I have sharper teeth than any troll out there and in a battle of words I will always emerge the victor.

This kid (a well known troll operating under an alias) tried trolling me a few weeks ago. We exchanged a few blows, then I knocked the little brat out cold with the following...


Dude, I've had a lot of fun reading the insults you left on my comments page, and I've had just as much fun returning the favour, but you took it way too far when you sent me a photo of your (male appendage). My 6 year old child saw that as I looked at the attachment in your message, which means you have effectively exposed yourself to a minor. Thats a serious offence which you could go to jail for, you know?

After leaving this comment on his profile, the kid's cocksure tone changed as he suddenly became irrate and defensive. Get a troll angry and you know you just out-trolled em. To add insult to injury, the next day he was banned from PSN after I convinced a few friends to grief the racist, homophobic comments he had left on other peoples profiles.

DUDE, that's probably one of the funniest stories of a tryhard troll's plan backfiring on themselves, i have 100% respect for you now, lolol

You have to be a bigger troll than they are. You need to truly laugh with them at everything they do. Encourage them on as they troll to make the community more mad because it really is funny. Let them see you do that. Show them you are more evil than they are. If you are playing with a tryhard, you just wasted your time. If they are a real troll then maybe they might respect you a little and stop trolling you. If you are a tryhard, you deserve to be trolled by them. So once you have some respect from them, you could keep going and gain their trust. After you have their trust, you could have other nice things like extremely early access to new glitches, rare objects or some good laughs together on a few trolling adventures. Maybe you might actually be friends with them someday. If you don't really care, just act stupid and they might leave you alone. Don't reply to any of their messages and they should go away soon.2012-09-23 04:06:00

Trolling is where you try to do something to get someone to respond to you. Posting "Free Ice Cream" ads is an example of trolling.

You just want to avoid these hate-filled trolls.

And what's worse than trolling is flaming. And that is where you insult someone. Hate comments is more likely flaming rather than trolling.

Goldenruler attempted to troll me on LBP.me
I told him something in the line that if he wanted to troll me he had to be a man, not hide behind the web, take a plan and risk what would have happened meeting me face to face, but if he liked to be vile and coward he was welcomed to write what he wanted on my page.
And I wished him a nice day

@Ungreth you could have told the guy that your kid laughed at the silly dimensions

Trolling is where you do something then someone gets mad and tries to respond to you because they think they are better than you. Posting "Free Ice Cream" ads is an example of tryharding.

You can't avoid these hate-filled tryhards.

Easy. You don't. Just sit back and watch them try and get your attention (or not). They try so hard.
If you don't like the smack they're talking, confront them in a calm manner. It really gets on their nerves, because all trolls want is to see you peeved off. Then they have a temper tantrum, and it's comedy from then on. Usually when they spout rivers of potty words, you can tell them that you reported them and they get scared and leave you alone. It works for me.

I must say that these days I've been labeled as troll because of my comments to Kamiya regarding Bayonetta 2 via twitter.
People keeps bugging me and then I have my fun in replying to them.
People sometime wants to be trolled

Just ignore trolls. they'll go away. If you do fight with them then quickly leave the agruement fast!

Best not to go though this. If you do out troll them then congrats. But it is easier to just ignore them.

I troll them usually. And if they troll me, then I kick them (I mean slapping in game etc..). If they try the way of writing me some things, then I laugh, because I kinda like trolls (Maybe because I am one of them). Or I just take my anti-troll vest and then I have fun
Also, those stupid people that try to insult you...Well, often it doesnt help writing them back. Because they are so stupid that they will keep on insulting, no matter what you say. Then, just report them, or tell them you will. If they dont stop, then say something like your friend is admin on PSN and will ban him. If he still dont stop, just report him. If nothing happens do it again untill they stop. Or dont respond, they will stop. (I mean insulting on comments, insulting by the chat function is nothing serious, you could always kick them.
What I really love to do, is when I join someone and it happens they go to create mode, then I spawn at least 20 bombs (They lag the game as hell) and just enjoy the total destruction and lag.

Slapping causes harm.

Harm leads to Aggression.

Revenge leads to Back-Slap.

Back-slap leads to more harm.

When I mean you can't use violence, I don't mean in-game violence. It's okay to use a rocket launcher in a video game (if they have any in a specific video game), but not in reality.

Dependable how they troll you. I know it is cliche but if it is just them messaging you profile. don't reply. act like you haven't read it move on with your life. if they goal is to get you mad and upset you, they would have failed and moved on. also don't even delete the comment (depending on the comment of course) just don't ed-knowledge its existence. after all, you can justify trolling as fun, all you want but in reality all it is someone with a lack of wit screaming out for attention.

When did I say it's okay in reality? Once again, you vandalized my posts.

Another thing: I haven't talked to him in a while, nor did I talk about him in a while. This was the guy I mentioned on my blog earlier that got me in trouble for mentioning, but it's because naming specific names is against the rules. I even said that I won't mention him again. Moreover, I got involved because he was posting hate comments on my friend's profile. So he's not my rival; he's rivals with that other guy. I later realized that my friend has a lot of haters, including that traitor. I learned to not get involved in all these situations, but I have sympathy.

Speaking of that troll, I can say something that can help get back on topic:

Some of my friends think fighting is the best way to deal with trolls. One guy posted racist comments on that same troll's profile. Another guy written a nasty review on one of his levels (but changed it to "meh"). That isn't the right way to deal with trolls, but that's how they deal with them.

I think a lot of it does depend on how strong the trolling is, and whether or not you could call it trolling. If they're posting obscene and nasty comments, the only way to deal with it is to report them.

If it's childish/non-serious trolling, the best thing to do might be to ignore it. They'll go away eventually and move onto someone else.

Now I am experiencing problems with this one troll. He's harassing me on this website. When I start a new topic, he tries to ruin it. He said that I am taking posting too seriously. What does that even mean? I'm not taking posting on this site too seriously. He's lying, and if he's not, he needs to explain what that means. He is a user of this website for a long time. I wasn't bothering him; he's bothering me.

I'm failing to see how posting this publically is going to help... just seems like your trying to provoke a respose and for what? attention?

if your having a real problem with a real user then keep it private between you and the mods, they can act as injudicators and settle this disagreement without anyone being publically shamed. It's a win win situation, unlike this... the mods are here for a reason, they have many talents that aren't limited to closing down threads and are generally nice people.

edit: re-reading my post over this might seem like a harsh response... but it illustrates perfectly why these matters don't need to be public knowledge.

I have to agree with David here.
If you feel someone on the site is harassing you, inform one of the mods (Taffey, Lady_Luck or Morgana for example), or tell them you will have to report them if they continue.
I'd bring some evidence to show where this is happening (link to one of the threads), and then discuss what can be done with whichever mod you contacted.

I'm not joking, and it's not for attention, but you right. I went to the wrong place. Not only that, I even blocked that troll. That means there was no reason to talk about it here. You did think your post was a harsh response, but it's not. It's a nice response. I have no reason to mention this on the thread, but I did stay on topic.

the internet isn't for everyone

Really, ignore trolls if you want to be left alone. I tend to just troll back because I find it funny, but then again that's just me. I don't know why people treat the internet (specifically LBP and the fansites) like it's serious business: it's not. Stop making a huge fuss about it, jeez.

Here is where I'm going to stop you.
What do you gain from trolling? What you find funny, most others probably won't. It's a fantastic way to kill a topic, and over time a community.

In short: it's immature. If you have a burning urge to be a troll might I suggest 4chan?

I don't troll the fansites or regular people for that matter. I just troll people who try to annoy me by annoying them. I don't like harming any communities for my amusement (as it's just lame and selfish).

Well over the time.. trolls have tried to irritate me only in 'Minecraft' saying insults.. A way to have some fun
Try to annoy them with the words they throw at you.. I feel like I don't care saying things like 'Oh good one.. tell it again so I can publish it in the book called "No one cares"'. Usually they leave after that

I simply show that my bark is just as worse as my bite. I embarrass them to the point where I make THEM tired of talking to me. Making more sense than them usually shuts them up so in my case - some sharp insults to their mentality and grammar and a farwell(a polite FU if you get me >=}) and its over.2013-06-20 04:25:00

Quite a huge bump, but I just don't allow those in my pod that are not on my friends list. My profile is set to auto reject for those I don't know. Mostly because I seem to always get requests when I am doing or in the middle of something like attempting to better a high score on a 1 player level, or working on something in a workshop.2013-06-20 13:05:00
