What is trolling?
    #22296524 - 09/26/15 11:25 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

I hope this doesn't come to be a troll post because of its controversial nature. Here it goes...

I'm interested in all views and all board posters. Please try not to use explicit examples witnessed at the Shroomery, however.

How would you define trolling? Different posters will have different opinions of what crosses the line and different boards will have different opinions from one another as well.

Please discuss intelligently.

That definition is what creates legends who change the world.  Not necessarily "trolls".

Isn't it just an exceeding amount of social intelligence/manipulation, just taken in a negative direction? Like MLK is a leader, but hitler was a troll?

Trolling is saying something you don't necesarily mean in order to get a certain reaction out of people.  For example I could go onto a jewish forum and make a post saying "was hitler a great leader, or greatest leader?"  Of course merely by asking such a question is enough to piss off alot of people, thus resulting in hilarity.

Right - trolling is starting a thread in order to get alot of response, and thus, a long thread -- whether it's something you believe or not.

Do you mean when someone is artificially trying to perpetuate a thread? Such as by lying about events, or not letting people rest on ideas that have been resolved multiple times.

Or do you mean if a thread poses a question that is too controversial or will never find resolution?

Around here, anyone who consistently posts stupid shit is called a troll. It is difficult to tell who is a troll or just a moron. For example, when someone calls the pope a Marxist.

Unrfortunately I'm not trolling a lot of the Pope's idea's are actually very Marxist, he himself subscribes to the beliefs that the working class are entitled to the ruling class' money, he also thinks they should have a say in what they do even though they only have voting power and don't necessarily have a share in their private business. We should be lucky to have people to whistle blow on the Pope when he's clearly over stepping his boundries. And don't you find it odd that he comes to our country of our places when he's from the Vatican, why not go to a warzone like Iraq or feed the refugee's in Syria?

I'm sorry to say but it's just a publicity stunt and every waking minute he spends here getting tourist on board to visit his private disney land, christian's are having their heads ripped off by sand wookies.

Kind of makes you think for all that fame he has he's just a snake.

Judging by the way people throw the word around here, I'm guessing it means anyone who disagrees with you. Sometimes the majority of people come to a consensus that said poster is an idiot and all call him a troll, sometimes it's just one person that's supremely butthurt by what someone else did or said. Rather than just acknowledge someone may actually have a different opinion than them, they just label them a troll.

The word has kinda lost it's meaning on the entire internet, not just here.

I usually only use the word when addressing obvious puppets. Occasionally may outwardly question whether the person saying something extraordinarily idiotic is trolling or if they really believe the total nonsense they just shared.

This is where the term comes from.  You troll around with a bait and hook to catch somebody.  The bait is something ridiculous that the poster either doesn't believe or knows wont provide constructive discourse.  Then people take the bait, respond as though the post was made in good faith and the poster has succeeded at trolling for drama.

It does sound kinda trolly, but I dunno. Could just be a total lack of critical thinking. Maybe he's never paid attention to how he is not happy jerking off to the same 3 or 4 videos his entire life. Or how eventually he starts desiring a real woman when porn overall starts to lose it's appeal. :shrug:

Haha, which begs the question, how do you identify/deal with trolls?

Keep it civil folks. Talking about trolls here is how you attract trolling and close the thread :shrug:

Also, I'm still curious if trolls can be good? I mean, I am an evolutionist, so if it exists, there must be some adapted reason?

I think of trolling as deception with the intent to get people riled up. Typical scenarios would be controversial beliefs the person doesn't really hold, or made-up anecdotes. Sometimes though it can be difficult to distinguish from sarcasm, or from unlikely sounding but legitimate stories or views. In both cases you're more likely to mistake those things for trolling if you don't know the poster well. I don't think it always has to be negative though, well-crafted troll threads can sometimes be very funny or entertaining.

Others use the word in a broader (and IMO incorrect) way to refer to anyone who's grumpy or argumentative, regardless of sincerity.

I actually think part of that is true. Like when hackers expose weaknesses in a system to force better safety for their users.

It's an arms race between presidential candidates and morons.
