Trolls Trolling Trolls occurs when trolling either becomes semi-acceptable (thanks to those moralfags) or when targets become so used to trolling they can recognise one a mile away and try their best to avoid it. Like rabid cannibals, the trolls, usually newfags, lose sight of what they're doing and eventually turn on each other.

Doing it Wrong

As there are so many, many complete and utter fucking morons swimming around this series of tubes we call the Internet, there are plenty of people to choose from. One method of doing this is to act contrary to everyone else. If you are on an atheist website, flood it with fundamentalist propaganda. If you are on a website for animal rights, show them zippocat.


However taking the persona of an extremist freak often has its downside: some people think you are for real. These people think it would be great to troll you. These people, of course, are doing it wrong. This not only wastes both users' time, it also means the genuine cockbites and pseudo-celebs who think they run the net are being left unmolested. Clearly these trolls are not fulfilling their duty.

Self-trolling

Self-trolling often occurs after playing forumwarz too much. This is when a troll makes too much effort to be noticed and all the other users simply ignore him. After making a complete tit of himself the troll will declare himself successful while everyone else facepalms.

Trolling & Encyclopedia Dramatica

Believe it or not, although ED is run by and for the basement-dwelling population, it is not an attack site. That's what eBaumsworld is for. Not everyone however realizes this and think ED is the source of all evil and must be destroyed.

Vandalism is Pointless

Chances are one butthurt cocksucker will have a problem with one of the articles and try to delete it. Such attempts are glaringly obvious and will be automatically reverted and the vandal blocked before they can say "LOL now who's laughing?"


Can You Troll a Troll?

Contrary to popular belief - yes, you can troll a troll. When all other groups (faggots, furries, otherkin, niggers, epileptics etc.) have become sick of being targeted, the only groups left might be anonymous and other troll groups themselves.

This is rather difficult to do as anons tend not to practice on each other. Indeed the excuse "HA! I tutally trolled u guise yur all n00bs!" tend to be written by faggots who haven't got a fucking clue on how to troll successfully. There are however different methods:


How to Troll a Troll

  1. The original troll will target a certain person or group with the intention of leading them to epic butthurt
  2. In the course of doing this, the original troll may accidently make a stupid mistake.
  3. A second troll (who may or may not have been a victim) exploits this mistake
  4. The original troll is too humilated to carry on, thus flees from the website he was targeting

  1. One troll deliberatly acts like a fucktard in order to gain attention
  2. A second troll, believing the first troll is being serious, attacks them using another extreme form of fucktardedness.
  3. The two will banter back and forth, one thinking that he is totally pwning the other.
  4. The end result it either:
  1. One gives up and leaves. The other (wrongly) thinks he has won.
  2. Both realise they have made a stupid mistake and claim it was all a joke. Honest.

Lulz-Blind

Lulz-Blindness occurs when a veteran troll has been spending his time on the internet for so long that he can no longer tell the difference between genuine acts of epic trolling and the regular unfunny bullshit that occurs every five minutes on the intarwebs. Lulz-Blindness is one of the first signs of Chronic Troll Syndrome.

Once a veteran troll succumbs to lulz-blindess he quickly becomes a target for newer wannabe trolls, thus destroying his well-earned e-reputation is one fell swoop. The only solution is to try some IRL Trolling. Although this may lead to the final stages of CTS it reminds people how drama can be created very quickly.

Pissing in an ocean of piss

Trolls trolling trolls doesn't always happen by accident. Here is a simple tutorial on how to troll /b/:

You may need to read the title twice. Slowly.

Occassions such as these are rare. One examples comes from SpleeNfat and his AntiED wiki. SpleeNfag tried to stop trolls trolling by trolling them, which did not last long. While pretending to be a l33t troll trying to milk the lulz out of ED, another user (pretending to be a member of his AntiED wiki) both trolled and Rickroll'd him. It should be noted however that SpleeNfat was never a true troll or member of anon, just a bucket full of failure.

Such events can be as confusing as dividing by zero.
