Classic Message Board Trolling Techniques - Troll Lords Represent

[Big Nasty]

Overly cryptic and convoluted posting style designed to generate speculation about the poster instead of keeping the thread on-topic.

Wall-of-text off-topic posts.

Feign agreement with previous poster but then discuss something completely unrelated.

When asked to clarify or develop your argument, only repeat previous argument

Accuse other posters of being trolls, shills, paid trolls or paid shills.

If you’re talking old school trolling, probably posting malicious links and photos

No, I think these are the legit discussion conventions of reddit.

Accuse other posters of being trolls, shills, paid trolls or paid shills.

ohh come on, do you feel so bored that you have to post here after gettign fired from huffpo?

 

[Marco Fucko]

Gaining someone's trust to get access to personal information and blackmail/humiliate them.

 

[Super Color Up]

Redirecting some poor bastard to meatspin or lemonparty.
Ah, those were the days.

 

[Frogasm]

my favorite is pretending that movies came before the books/comics/whatever that came first.

for example calling the harry potter books ripoffs of the movie and just doubling down on this point if anyone tries to say that the books came first.

this makes some book and comics fans extremely angry

 

[User names must be unique]

Bring up logical fallacies as if this is some sort of formal debate and not a shitposting sticker collectathon.

 

[Big Nasty]

Demand that all posters use arguments based on scientific reasoning and free from logical fallacies, then proceed to claim that OP is a fat fucking faggot who takes it up the ass and wears a bow tie.

Continuously start threads where the thread title is <subject> and the full content of the OP is "Discuss <subject> here".

An obnoxious signature is always a nice touch also, I remember a poster who engaged in the posting behavior mentioned directly above, and whose signature was "I am NOT a CIVILIAN, I am a VETERAN".

You misspelled "getting." Your syntax and grammar are atrocious. That means your argument is automatically invalid, and any further replies only prove you're wrong.
