Before I start this off I want to say that I used to be a troll but have also been the victim of many trolls. As this may be startling to people and others, as a Troll I didn't conduct myself in the way you are thinking. I do not go on forums, blogs, twitter to harass, electronically threaten people, or even to make ridiculous insults. This is what I call a Toxic troll someone that has a determination and thought to make someone's day or life worse by doing that crap or worse. Me is what I call a "Midget troll" people that make little sarcastic comments on places like 4chan, as well as play competitive video games that you are very good at to upset and to make someone "Rage Quit" being the technical term. Some games that you may consider would be Call of Duty, League Of Legends, Halo, Counter Strike, World of WarCraft, Grand Theft Auto, and last Battlefield these being big titles. In my expertise I say there are 3 classes of trolls Toxic trolls being the top, Mediocre Trolls being the middle, and Midget Trolls being the bottom. Ill explain of what classifies these types of trolls.
As the Internet and Technology became apart of my life sense, the day I was born I was crafted into this age of information. Meaning that most of my time was spent on the computer and technology whether it be gaming, watching videos, building computers, editing videos, having a YouTube channel, etc. etc. (Yes I know I have no life and this sounds boring but bear with me) Being on the Internet is something we all do today and it is a curse, sin, great communicator, something to bring people together, share ideas, getting into heated political debates, build memories, make friendships, and more! Today though it seems to be that the cons outweigh the positives because, as we are experiencing right now the rise of trolls. When you go online now you usually see a different side to a person nowadays. Some get very angry and they whine, complain, start a internet fight with someone, making heated debates on who is the most worst candidate for the office of the presidency, fueling the fire with the Kim Davis issue, attacking the Kardashians, Caitlyn Jenner's change of gender, or even be up in flames with a blog or newspaper. This year I can say marked the year of most problems that have been publicly made available to the masses that have been developed on the Internet.
The real question you guys want to know is what is the best way to combat these toxic trolls that give no mercy to anyone on their "hit list" or in their way. Toxic Trolls: a troll that expresses foul, mean, and violent thoughts/threats and words to others through means of electronic platforms Ex: Twitter, Email etc. How to Combat?: Don't engage with them/report also block, is right now the best defense we have to combat these toxic space takers. Until social media sites and applications can come up with a algorithm, code, or plan to detect the source of the troll and shut him/her down we can do nothing. Mediocre Trolls: Trolls that are not as mean as toxic trolls but, still will express their unnecessary opinion or words on electronic platforms. How to Combat?: These trolls are not as determined or smart as the others and they will not go to lengths to send death threats but instead just leave ridiculous and stupid comments on instagram pictures, tweets, or even forums but do not have the balls to stand up to a group of individuals or to a single person. So simply rally your friends or followers up and attack the account block, report, spam about how mean that person is and overwhelm him to the point where he/she will quit and simply back off. The last troll being Midget Trolls: Trolls that simply roam the threads of 4chan and video games that just make snark comments and make a person rage quit. How to Combat: You will rarely see these trolls unless you participate in these places so just simply ignore them and block, they are most likely 12 years yelling or even trying to be annoying to someone. Don't give the power to the trolls and sink to their level simply rise above it. They don't deserve your feedback plus all they want is that response and they will let you have it. If you wanna make a difference though like me RAGE AGAINST THE TROLLS and simply get your friends/followers together to attack the troll and be little them to see the error in their ways (I know that's really dark sorry bout that XD ) Like I said report and block, is right now the best defense we have to combat the most toxic space takers. Until social media sites and applications can come up with algorithm, code, or plan to detect the source of the troll and shut him down we can do nothing. So fight on and RAGE AGAINST THE TROLLS!
I'm interested what your guys thoughts are about these types of trolls and which have you encountered before! Do you find this information insightful and does it help you at all? How does it feel having a troll in your midsts? I hope I did not affect your opinion of me in a bad way lol it's really just a competitive strategy for me to help me win. XD
