Do some posters come just to pi$$ off other posters?

eagle10

I have noticed that some boardies just seem to go around upsetting people with negative crap and arguing all the time.

I have mentioned it to boardsies that I know in the flesh and they agree.

Does anyone else notice it and if so what the feck is wrong with these fecking gob$h!te$?

They're called trolls or wums.

No you're the only one.

Close Thread.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

That'll be the trolls. Ignore them and they'll go away. Try not to feed them.

Yep, they're trolls and they say/do anything to get a rise out of people or just annoy them. An example being this

jackie1974

I love trolls, I wish I could adopt one. I mean you have to admit they are very funny :pac: I don't think forums would be the same without them. Have a sense of humour or hit the ignore button. :cool:

I honestly thought this was a trolling forum.

Seriously, were you just born?

These people exist in real life as well, they're just more prevalent on the internet due to the anonymity.

It's people like you OP that make me greatful that I'm an aethist. The very notion of God is a pathetic and infantile one. And to answer your question. Yes I do think abortions should be legalised. It's the choice of the woman. The man doesn't deserve a say.

citizen_p

i find it interesting that somone would even bother to trol (are they like the little guys with the hair i got in cereal years ago?) others, like get a life and make somoe friends instead of trying to fool people on the internet

HERE is an interesting link in regard to the subject being disscussed.

i hate trolls, they ruin the internet and all seem to stem from one or two disguting sites, 4cang etc... that IMO should be shut down, we started this a few monthsa ago and it got a great following from facebook etc... but is under regular attack from sites like 4 chen.

here's a relevant story:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/OPINION/01/21/pearlman.online.civility/index.html?eref=mrss_igoogle_cnn

Matthew is a college student from a small suburban town in Missouri. He loves the Kansas City Chiefs and spending Sundays in front of the TV watching football (actually hand egg but they for some reason call it football).

Recently, in response to something I wrote on my blog about Jeff Bagwell and the Baseball Hall of Fame, Matt tweeted me a couple of times.

The words were snarky and snide and rude. His final message, however, left an extra special impression: "I got caught up in the anonymity of the internet. I'm sorry and here is a legit post with my criticisms." Upon opening the pasted link, I was greeted by a nasty pornographic image that would make Sasha Grey vomit into the nearest trash can.

When I later noted to Matt, via Twitter, that my 7-year-old daughter happened to be next to me when I clicked on the picture, he wrote: "lmao. You're so full of ----."

snip
(then the writer tracked down the critic)
Then we spoke. And I (dammit) liked him. Without invisibility or the support of his 54 Twitter followers or the superhuman powers supplied by a warm keyboard, Matt was meek and apologetic. "I was just trying to get a rise out of you," he said. "You're a known sports writer, and I thought it was cool. That's all. I never meant for it to reach this point."

Sadly, Matt's online behavior is far from an anomaly. Anyone who writes or is written about is now a potential target for abuse. Online civility -- it if ever existed -- has withered up and died. And it's only getting worse.

Orim

There's been studies about this type of behaviour.

Final Conclusion is neatly summed up here

These people are almost certainly culchies OP, please ignore them.

After Hours is a group of people sitting in a pub chatting away.

A troll is someone who walks up to one of the girls at the bar, calls her fat, says her friend did it, and starts unholy war. The more mature people in the group ignore him and tell the rest to simmer down, the simple folk go in guns blazing seeking troll's head on a plate.

Cheap Thrills!

Do some posters come just to pi$$ off other posters?

Dear T.Roll-Fodder,

Yes, but it doesn't always work.

Your patience in this matter is appreciated while we upgrade our systems.

Yours Insincerely,

Don't say anything bad about Sinn Fein though folks, they watch the internets like hawks. I fell victim to a hit only a few hours ago...left my house for an hour and a half and my Boards reputation had been - well, if not assassinated, certainly kneecapped.

Well I don't even know who you are so I'd say your reputation was aborted.

I disagree with this - if a culchie comes up to a group of suburbanites and starts spouting his colloquial gibberish and waving a hurley around menancingly (as they do) then it is the responsibility of the suburbanites to kick the culchie out of the establishment. We cannot afford to give these creatures an inch Mitch.

Ya the anonymity is key here the posters that pi$$ me off are probably the same people that pi$$ me off at work and down the pub too

Ok, fairly long winded.

I knew the friend had a boards account, and knew his username.

On a thread about an NFL show, I seen the friend offered to PM the details of where he downloaded the full series. I signed up and requested the PM, which he duly sent.

I replied...

Do you find this funny or something? I tried downloading off Btjunkie. My antivirus system flared up and i took me ages to close the laptop down. Now its telling me that i have 4 trojan horses which cant be removed and my laptop has gone very slow. I have a good mind to report you

Friends reply

I'm not messing with you. I genuinely downloaded from their myself. I download stuff constantly from it. When you go into the link it tells you whether its a good or bad link and people leave comments aswell. Sorry man but im not messing with you. Hust looked their and the 1 i downloaded was http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Hard-Kno...cd2370857dbb20 at this link

This went back and forth for a while, with me berating him about not having a proper anti-virus system and him continuing his apology and assuring me that the link should work.

At the same time, the same friend rang me and amongst other things, told me laughing that he had sent a link to some lad on the net, and "ur man was goin cracked cos he now has a load of trojan horses on his laptop haha" I had a hard time keeping from breaking down laughing, but I told him to keep me informed.

My next ploy was to look for compensation..

I still haven't got a response from my last message? Judging by your past posts it seems we are both in UL. 3rd year eh? I think you need to be a little more careful with the information you share on the net. Remember it wont be impossible for me to find you. It's going to cost me 55 quid to fix the laptop. Somewhere around the 30 quid mark from you would be fair

His reply

I've other things for doing than be on this.. I'm not paying you anything. You asked me for a place you could download hard knocks and i sent it to you..So there is no reson for me to pay you. Thats great your in UL and arent you mighty for looking that up but im not payin ya

Again this went back and forth for a while, with my friend texting me everything that was happening regarding this "psycho on the net". Eventually I PM'd him saying I would get my IT friends to hack his account if he didn't pay up. He said fire away. My response..

Stop trying to be smart. I never said your degree was lowly. Look I didnt want to do this but I got the friends to help out. So, (friends name) of 3rd year (course), you might be getting a visit outside a lecture in September.

My friend called to my house that night and showed me the PM's, half bewildered, half amused at how this lad managed to hack him and get his real name. I had to chat back and try to keep a straight face.

A few days later I got this back.

dont know if u got my last PM. Internet went. I still feel i dont owe you any money. I will give you a usb with hard knocks on it if you want and i might buy you a shot in the lodge. No need for threats either

Eventually we settled that he would bring me back a bottle of something from his foreign holiday a few weeks later.

hahah you alcoholic :-). i will yeah no bother... still dont know your name though......its great isnt it ... drink sorts everything.. Ill give you hard knocks aswell anyway because its worth watchin.

My Reply

Ok i'm going to hold you to that bottle! Captain Morgan would be nice.
Nah I dont think i'll watch Hard Knocks cos I'd say it's ****e.

My number so is (my real number).

And my name Is (My real name)

I got a phone call straight away from the friend laughing and calling me a b****x. Wasted a bit of time for me during my boring work placement anyway
