Troll School- presented by wizer

Todays troll tip is inspired by current events over at womansavers.com...as brought to us by "new member" CordialMink.

This new member joined yesterday and lit up a few threads over at womansavers. Two of the threads was titled:

I‘m gonna have to sue you people.. and..

I‘d like to warn y‘all about me

The title of these threads are cleverly designed to attract attention, as a good troll thread should. Lets look at some other examples of possible thread titles...read them and decide which ones you would be likely to read, and possibly respond to...

"I can't believe she did this to me!!!!"

"My girlfriend hasn't called me in a few days, I think she doesn't love me anymore."

"I've got a knife and I am going to do it!"

"You guys are a bunch of nut jobs"

"I am shy and don't meet girls so well"

"I think he's cheating"

"This is unbelievable but I think it really happened!!!"

Ok, now looking at those thread titles, I think it's easy to see that some will draw more attention than others. A good troll will choose his thread titles carefully for maximum effect and response rate.

One problem with this method is that if you are "too obvious", then members and moderators will pick you out as a troll and you will probably be shut down before you can get the thread really cooking. Like anything else in life, you need to create a balance.

Some of CordialMink's posts are designed for maximum flame effect, which is good for creating responses, but will likely result in a ban within a few hours on a well moderated forum.

I‘m the biggest cheater in the face of teh earth, I‘ve broken the heart of inumerous women and given the chance I‘ll do more. Please warn everybody you know about me. Thank you

I‘ve into 56 "serious" relationships. All of them ended w/ me cheating. How can work in my fidelity?

I‘m with this girl right now, she‘s really nice and beautiful, but she hates oranges. How can anyone hate oranges? Tell me? She also won‘t let me eat oranges, she says it makes me stink.

Women are just too crazy.

Tell me, this place is a cesspool of viruses, what the hell is that?

Notice that his posts are directed at the entire female gender, as well as the forum administrators. Pretty good all around coverage. This troll will most likely go out in a blaze of glory, but he definitely left his mark.
