    Professional trolls are there any on here and does anyone know how much money you can make from getting a job as professional troll. There seems to be plenty of posters on here and other Irish sites you can post on who could fit the bill as a professional troll. Also do they have to pay tax on what they earn being a professional troll or is it brown envelopes,cash in hand kind of job.

    Just curious about it really an sorry if it has been asked before but I don't troll the internet :D

    I dont think the Irish Independent are hiring, so at the momment Im not sure what other avenues professional trolls have for career advancement.

    Wait. Does trolling pay more than modding?

    I don't think I've ever heard of being paid to do it.
    Although me being on the dole and posting on here... I can troll on here and we can say the dole is payment if you like?

    You're just mad because I'm smoking a joint while you're stuck having to deal with complaints on here. Why don't you get a real job Miss Internet Police.

    That's how you do it. :pac:

    I don't think I have ever heard of one either..I have seen agenda driven trolls before which is fair enough if you believe strong enough on what you are posting about.

    But I was just wondering today after reading posts on breakingnews.ie and the journal.ie today by the same screen name and it made me wonder as all he seems to do is post online if that was his job.

    I guess you could say an arts degree would get you into trolling?
