    I am planning on inventing a new boards ID from which to troll.

    I would welcome any advice on how to troll well and not get caught.

    Don't announce it in advance on boards is a good start.

    Just post your new name and we'll rate your trolling! ;)

    Well, you could mention trolling in an innocent and gormless way so as to give people the impression you would not have the mental capacity for it

    There won't be any connection between my real identity and my new "troll" identity.

    If you name your 2nd acc. 'NotFacekicker' , no-one will suspect you are trolling.

    A suitable name would be "I'm-a-small-guy-living-under-a-bridge"

    Pretend you are starting a new boards account from which to troll and start a thread about it.

    your IP address is now logged with the system .... you have 2 minutes to pay Boards loads of cash or your computer will be terminated (that doesn't mean turned into a terminator)

    Your doing it right now aren't you?

    Pretending to be all innocent ,tut tut.

    1. Find a picture of a hot sexy gal. Not obviously a fake photo. Maybe your better looking sister's or cousin's photo.
    2. Make random threads indicating the frustration you have with the singles scene.
    3. Make quick friendship with lonely male members.


    If you manage to land yourself an e-romance, you have hit troll gold!

    Do **** to annoy people or waste their time. Its not that hard.


    Leave out trolling where someone seems a little mentally unhinged though in the sad or anxiety kind of way.

    This OP is not how you do it,much too obvious.

    Agreed. I'm going to be subtle. Build up a normal identity first for about a month... then start.

    I thought the original "whingey lefty" post was very funny though.

    Fight the powah, don't let those bully mods drag you down, man.

    I'd create the username "Not_not_a_troll", it would confuse the mods for a bit 'cos they're a bit slow and won't understand and in that time you could wreck the gaff.

    Have fun!

    I do feel this thread is in fact an attempt to troll without getting caught, hidden in plain sight if you will. Unfortunately it's not working out too well, and some people are genuinely helpful :D
