Seems to be a lot of "Trolling" lately

the problem with most of the trolls on this site is they are sooo unoriginal and boring.

I agree a good well planned troll with good comedic value is very much worth the anger it often causes. but our trolls on here use the same thing over and over and most of it can barely be considered trolling and is a lot more like harassment.

make a political thread and with in 10 posts uncleduck will show up to tell you how his wife's vagina is hers and not yours, he loves the confusion it causes when we are all trying to figure out why he thought we wanted his wifes vagina. and carne will always be sure to add that some minority is the victim in whatever situation you are discussing, even if its the evening weather your talking about. He will without fail call you a racist or bigot thinking it will anger you generally adding some overly used generalized phrase as evidence of your bigotdome and consider that to be irrefutable proof.They continue to post about said topic until they spark a fight or people give up on the topic.

This is an extremely crude form of trolling but none the less effecting as you can see from me taking the time to mention them specifically in my post.

Many more clever examples exist, involving starting topics that so enrage fellow posters that numerous people reply in sheer out rage before anyone even stops to think and then everyone gets a good laugh at there ridiculous comments. <- thats how "the game" is played on most other forums.

another key to a really good troll is the ability to make one comment and then sit back and watch the mayhem unfold! It greatly degenerates the satisfaction when you have to continuously make posts to fuel the fire.

I blame the increase in trolling to school being out for the summer, and the ADHD kiddies are bored

When does starting threads about trolling become annoying. Stop giving them attention and they will go away. If no one even acts like they posted the forum would be a lot better. Most of the time everyone is fanning the flames.

I am not 100% positive I have encountered this trolling first hand...By this I mean I have not been personally harassed as of yet, and I have been here for awhile...I see a lot of posts that are obviously made just to incite others into arguments, but I am an awesome arguer, and my husband does the same thing...Says dumb shit just for the reaction...When I first met him he would say something stupid and then say, "Are you there?" on the phone it made sense..but when you are sitting in a room with someone and they say, " are you still there?" They are obviously very very used to getting hung up on...I was soon able to recognize it for what it is, and I have removed that quirk through hard work and my intensive husband and boyfriend training...Once they're fixed they're no fun anymore...lol

I think sometimes people get sucked in unawares...

Most of the trolling happens in toke & talk
And politics


I haven't had to deal with a troll in any of my grow journals ....


Moral of this post..
If you don't grow and all you do is post in toke & talk , you WILL get trolled.

Just a thought.

Why do people insist on being such assholes to one another on a site that's meant to bring us together and share vital information? I really like the idea of being able to anonymously socialize with like-minded people since i can't go telling anyone else the things i very openly say on here. But DAMN, half the shit i sift through lately is politically driven garbage or people just being straight up douchenozzles to one another. Can't we all just get along? Seriously, smoke a joint and fucking RELAX!! :joint:
Come to think of it, you're right!. I actually have been using a Chicago sports MB to discuss cannabis at times.

you forgot to add advanced marijuana cultivation to the list.

that's the good thing about doing journals, not much trolls will enter those. mostly all good vibes in grow journals. I got majority of my rep from doing a grow journal. in fact, I didn't start getting rep hits till I did a grow journal....... now that I don't journal a grow anymore, most of my rep comes from toke and talk, lol

The word 'troll' gets thrown around quite a bit without justification.

Presumably, labeling someone a troll will intimidate a non-troll into silence.

Someone making a point one disapproves of does not necessarily mean they are trolling; nor does it make them a troll.

It might just mean one did not agree to the point of butt-hurtery, and had no other response.

Most trolling should just be ignored, but every now and again a flame war can be good reading material. I guess the drama has its uses every now and again, and moreso if it's actually a decent or passionate subject like religion, racism, sports etc.

But their is a line that shouldn't be crossed with this kind of stuff.

Most triggers for these scenarios involve people that are over sensitive, or just plain stubborn.
