Sterling Archer Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Proper trolling has got a bit of a bad name now. It seems that generally abusing someone on the internet is considered trolling by the media, I'd argue that's just being a *****. Actual trolling is far less vile / far more clever than that.

Trolling is actually an art and no way does it play on sadistic tendencies. :'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beverley Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Trolls aren't what they used to be. Iys become all to common to call a simple pain in the arse a troll but I remember when trolls were actually quite clever about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobmisterdobster Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 The mainstream media refers to bullying and threats of abuse online as "trolling". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C00l K1d Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 For me trolling was making someone get themselves get worked up and angry. Now folk try and pass off being general dickheads as trolling, it's quite shite now. Wummery is the new age trolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Are folk actually reminiscing about the good old days in terms of people being an arsehole online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart McNeill Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 as mentioned there's a difference between being an arse online and trolling online. Media not really knowing what they're talking about tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peebo Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The westboro baptist one was the best ever. I beg to differ. Some of the funniest stuff I've seen is when some people were on here patting themselves on their virtual backs for their "trolling" of the Landover Baptist Church.

The shed trolled some religious weirdos forum anyway, the one you said sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the shed got trolled. The daily mail was great, while jack wills was let down by the super slow system for posting they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps referring to different things, but there were definitely people on here at one time bragging about "trolling" what is, to anyone with half a brain, clearly a pisstake itself.
