Trolls

Featured Replies

Why oh why are so many trolls on AN? Many posters get very few replies' posting actual important information or questions?

But posters posting silly questions get hundreds of comments. So is everybody on AN is obtuse?

    You may call them trolls, but they post more entertaining content than all those moaners

    The word Troll is overused on this forum, usually it's a cheap dig at someone you don't agree with

Maybe the question is how many of the trolls are human.

I am sure some humans will more likely click on an article with many responses because there are many responses.

 

Personally, I blocked the most annoying (possibly human) trolls in this forum. But I see on the right side still their threads and it is amazing how many comments they get. From whom? See above.

How many people do you know in Thailand that discuss important questions? More like haha, have another beer, goofyness, etc. The forum is a reflection of that.

Let me add to that topic I did delay and banned that troll, but I still get hunted with everything I post. Just lies after lies I have reported that poster many times, but nothing happens.

That is not a solution because there are just too many of them, so it's a never ending process, and the worst offenders just keep registering new handles.  I gave up trying to do that.

I think it is partly because international political discussions are still allowed here, which is toxic.  Also because they are allowed to get away with it for some reason, yet we are not allowed to do other things far less toxic, like use bad words.

It's just not bloody fair.

a fair representation of society.

since the internet has become more accessible and easy to use, it has been inundated with the inane drivel the mediocre and below average masses put their trust in as a reliable source of information to base their purchasing decisions, their opinions and their voting decisions on.

that is exploited by propaganda operative who brought to you Brexit and Trump.

 

as an internet pioneer, I didn't see that coming.

I should have.

but I didn't.

I was pretty good in anticipating the intelligence gathering part though, but completely missed the mass manipulation part.

If it;s not true disregard, if it's true well, up to you! His trolling is pretty tame, give him your best!

For your information I have sent numerous complaints email to the Australian PM and always get a reply thanking me !!!!

In one email they said they were very appreciative of people like me who bring matters to their attention .

So there you go !!!!!

The troll has become a stalker now I can't post anything now even posts I never participate I get my name mentioned I reported him/her many times nothing happens I don't mind funny writers I just laugh but telling other posters lies about me and family and living arrangements is over the top. Just wait for my stalker to reply to me post and you will see the name.  Cheers.
