I have been battling two very persistent trolls on Google Groups
now for about two years. They latched on to me from Ebay, and also
by reading my FS/FA ads on Usenet. I did a search and found your
website on trolls/stalkers.
I adopted your strategies, using "branding" and a "no-reply"
course of action. If they post on their own, I brand them using
your format. If they reply to my branding posts, I ignore their
post and don't reply.
I also toy with the trolls occasionally when I want a good laugh-
by using your "mocking" technique - I assign their posts
a "troll-o-meter" rating, that simply drove one troll
bananas - and he went berserk posting flames after that. I then
"branded" him again, pasting his Google URL profile link,
which lists all his posts he just made while he was in a rage -
making him look even worse.
For the last three days I've been laughing my nuts off at these
two trolls- they have also found your site and attempted to flame
me for using it - but they have no defense against your techniques!
And both of them, knowing they ARE the trolls, don't dare use
your techniques on me- their posts just don't stick or hold any
water.
Thanks for the great info. So far one troll has lost two Ebay accounts,
the other has lost one Ebay account- and both have lost a few Google
accounts between them. I also hammered their ISP's with complaints,
and they have lost some newsreader rights and a few ISP's as well.
Your technique WORKS !
It's like your site is kryptonite or something to trolls - they
know it's there, they have read all the anti-troll countermeasures,
but they can't use them against me - their troll nature won't allow
it.
They know they are trolls, and for some reason, true full-blooded
trolls not only crumble
under brands and mocks, but their troll nature won't allow them
to use brands and mocks effectively against others who are not trolls.
It's uncanny- and funny as hell !! Maybe they're just too stupid
They did try to razz me about using your site for tips - but I
simply used your #1 recommended weapon, and ignored their posts.
So their countermeasure posts wilted on the vine with no replies,
making them look like panzy-waists rather than trolls!
