Anti-troll 101
Friday, January 24, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Dear members:
These are not cyber-war tactics (
)…these are just common sense/courtesy/decency type tactics that if properly deployed could do this forum a world of good:
When a troll starts a thread:
IGNORE IT. Don’t respond…it just PERPETUATES the thread no matter how good your intentions because you bring the ‘troll’ thread back up where it certainly doesn’t belong.
REPORT it: Rather than responding you can right click on the ‘mother thread’ link and save the link and forward it to an Administrator whom can remove the link if it’s repugnant or rude etc.
REMEMBER: A troll wants attention…ignore him…and he leaves…keep giving him a trail of crumbs and he’ll follow.
Follow?

From what I can tell, the site must have been down for an extended amount of time. Any ideas how long?

"if thine enemy is hungry, feed him. If he thirsts, give him to drink, for in so doing thou heapest burning coals upon his head" meekness and humility sometimes cut more deftly than a sword. and sometimes they win over a friend.
and sometimes they win over a friend.

Iben, you have to know your enemy before you can be to kind because some will take it as weakness and take advantage of it. Some will not and it will work and you will become friends. The point is be careful.

WOM, Never mind. I'll name my next work something else.
Chess match:
You ultimately commit your wits against another...
It's war...but 'clean war'...
I wish every troll would challenge me at chess. hehe

WOM reminds me of another old adage, about wearing a chainmail fist inside of that velvet glove.
