Stick to the story, make it believable and don't be a prat?

I know it's shitty to troll and I hate it but at least make it a decent attempt when you do so!

Is there a troll ? What thread - I'm hopeless at spotting them

PaulAnkaTheDog · 08/05/2016 21:27

It's not a taat. Influenced by a recent one but it's what I've been thinking for a while.

I didn't know there was an obvious one?

Mamabear1980 · 08/05/2016 21:30

Think they can be fun, in a sense when they bring out other posters stories but tend to agree with you.

Condemning trolls is an essential activity on any internet forum. How else can the regulars signal their virtue?

Sparklingbrook · 08/05/2016 21:44

What's that supposed to mean ascasualobserver?

PaulAnkaTheDog · 08/05/2016 21:47

Oh acasualobserver just wheesht.

I think we need a Wedding AIBU topic because I am sick of it already.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 08/05/2016 21:50

Olive groves and Maui Coconutty!

I love troll hunting on here... Bad I know but I cant help myself :D

Sparklingbrook · 08/05/2016 21:51

It's more spotting than hunting. there's little or no hunting to be done.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 08/05/2016 21:51

I concur Sparkling. There seems to have been something in the air the past few days.

I remember Showy & BoF's pomander thread.

That was good ole fashioned trolling.

Not like the goady & emotional stuff of today.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 08/05/2016 21:56

Did you catch the wedding one as well Sparkling? It would usually have been run if the mill but I recognised the username and remembered the olive grove and tindr. Not even a name change! A prime example of making an effort.

I want DanSnowBoss back.

acasualobserver · 08/05/2016 21:56

Internet forum cliché #1: the trolls ain't what they used to be.

Sparklingbrook · 08/05/2016 21:56

Is that all internet forums?

Offended on a personal level acasualobserver?

Cutecat78 · 08/05/2016 21:59

The dead baby name and the sister one? I thought that was iffy so didn't post.

It's a bit fucking sick tbh.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 08/05/2016 22:00

I didn't see them cutecat. I was just meaning the daft thread really.

OP posts:
LadyAntonella · 08/05/2016 22:05

Holy shit I can't believe the baby name one was a hoax?! If that's true it is utterly revolting. People were posting on it about their real losses. Christ.
