How to be a malicious troll, mix and match the following and you are on your way. Not in order......

1. If your a guy, pretend to be a lady,

2. Create a fake Facebook account.

3. Play the part of a victim.

4. Use your kids as a weapon.

5. Create multiple accounts and talk to yourself.

6. Cross forums and present a different personality on each one, hence conning good hearted members into believing you are genuine.

7. Feign concern for worthy causes.

8. Attack other members that have sussed you and call them stalkers.

9. Pretend you have an exotic high society partner.

10. Put all the members that know you are a troll on ignore.

All of these character traits have been displayed by trolls during the last 30 days on this forum. Several members are sick of it, as it's causing severe disruption to general discourse here.

Some trolls are demonstrating almost all of the above traits. Trolling is an art form, good trolls are a joy to behold, and legendary. What we are seeing just now is a surfeit of malicious trolls who are damaging the reputation of good hearted members.

Can you add to the mix and match list? How to be a malicious troll? Personally speaking, I think they are all bananas.

Just sayin'

You must also be based in Thailand. That's absolutely essential!

Some of those points seem to descibe Jingthing...

I have to say, the general forum is full of some very bazaar, pathetic people. Representative of quite a few expats I have met here over the years.

Trolls all have one thing in common which lets them down,they can't hold a normal debate without lying.

Because they are not smart enough,to have a real conversation,due to ignorance of facts.

Good point MAJIC, in fact they make you wonder if they are ignorant of reality. They live in a land of make believe.

This is just asking for trouble.
