how trolls work.

There's no denying that the Internet is an amazing invention. It allows people to communicate around the world at speeds approaching real time. But this connection can be a double-edged sword. Not only are you able to interact with people you like and respect, but you can also meet people who take pleasure in disrupting the conversations and activities of others. There's a name for this kind of person: troll.
While the word troll might conjure up images of billy goats and hobbits in your mind, the Internet variety doesn't really owe its name to the monsters of fairy tales and fantasy. Originally, the Web version of a troll alluded to a fishing technique. In fishing, to troll is to pull a fishing line behind a moving boat in hopes of coaxing a fish to take the bait. Web trolling is very similar -- trolls try to lure unsuspecting victims into responding to pointless or rude questions or statements. The goal for the Web troll is to get the victim riled up as a joke. But usually the troll is the only one laughing.
The term first gained popularity on Usenet forums. Usenet is a distributed computer network organized into categories called newsgroups. Each newsgroup covers a general topic. The network is a cousin to the World Wide Web, which it predates by more than a decade. People can visit Usenet newsgroups to discuss topics and share information and files. The original Usenet trolls were people who tried to bait victims into wasting time in off topic or annoying discussions.
Today, the term troll has a broader definition. A troll can be anyone who aims to disturb communication or ruin someone else's mood or experience while online. This usually happens in online environments like forums, message boards and chat rooms. But there are subspecies of trolls that branch out into other areas. You can find trolls everywhere from YouTube comments to online video games.
Not all trolls are created equal. While some trolls find it amusing to wind up another person until that person has a meltdown, others may not even realize that their behavior is disruptive. Sometimes, people are simply rude and aggressive without trying to behave like a troll -- (such as myself sometimes) particularly if they disagree with the subject of a conversation. You may have even behaved like a troll unintentionally. But if you learn about the strategies trolls use to cause trouble, you can avoid being a troll yourself. There are ways to express yourself that won't lead to other people accusing you of being a troll.

Excuse my grammar mistakes. -.-

trollers gonna troll

Not necessarily. There are severel different types of trolls. Incase you didn't know it

 

Several*

 

For instance.

Playtime Trolls: an individual plays a simple, short game. Such trolls are relatively easy to spot because their attack or provocation is fairly blatant, and the persona is fairly two-dimensional.


Tactical Trolls: This is where the troller takes the game more seriously, creates a credible persona to gain confidence of others, and provokes strife in a subtle and invidious way.


Strategic Trolls: A very serious form of game, involving the production of an overall strategy that can take months or years to develop. It can also involve a number of people acting together in order to invade a list.


Domination Trolls: This is where the trollers' strategy extends to the creation and running of apparently bona-fide mailing lists.


Psycho Trolls: These trolls have an unconscious psychological need to feel good by making others feel bad. Such people may use their real names on the internet, and they may not even realise that they are "trolling".
