What do you do when there's a troll?

I hail from the land of dormant trolls, so I have no idea.

You're a good kind of troll. I'm talking about the bad ones that no one seems to like. I like you.

I only have experiences with forum trolls. Usually what I do is sit back and watch. My main forum's admin is pretty good about getting rid of people, so it's always a matter of time before the troll just disappears.

I wish I could say I had some experience to answer this better or from a different perspective. I've never trolled. Though some would probably say otherwise. :U

I see...I wish I was experience to get rid of a fanfiction troll...we'll just see what the future unravels I guess...but thanks for some of the advice~ :3

Best advice I can give you is to not give them the attention. Eventually they will get bored and leave on their own. If not, you could always report them to the staff.

Hehe...,those kinds of trolls are different from the average ones, I can tell just by what they sent me this morning....crap. I can't really report them...yet. *crosses fingers*

I just ban them no questions asked.

But if I'm not the admin...then I troll back. Or just ignore them. Honestly if you ignore them then it drives them absolutely nuts. But you need to make sure that everyone else is ignoring them as well. But I'm a pretty good troll when I need to be so I just troll back.

Ah yes, getting a group of people to ignore someone with is fun. Probably funner than it should be. :<

That was one of the most epic things we've ever done.

Yes it was.

I'd put it at either 2 or 3 if I had a list of all the epic things we've done. That would be a pretty epic list...

That'd be nice if I had a group like that on fanfiction...ignoring these kinds of trolls makes it worse though. But I trolled the second troll. >:3

Haha xD I wish I could see when that happened...

He was freaking out and kept trying to talk to us even though there were plenty of other people around to talk to. I guess part of it was also because we kept down repping all of his posts.

Are you sure you trolled him though? Sometimes when people (specifically young girls like yourself) try to countertroll they actually end up making themselves look...pretty dumb. You should have us pros look over your work.

"Talk to me"

Oh god that memory is still funny. It was like a year+ ago.

Oh my gosh...that made me giggle. It reminds me of a desperate kid.

Good point...I guess I can't call it trolling...I thought I did, but I guess he didn't get ticked off. Meh. it's alright. I don't think they're gonna bother me anymore....they shouldn't have reason to unless they just like bullying people.
