Mr Popodopolous Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Trolling is a broad subject- could you define what you class as a "troll"? Means different things on different platforms, with differing ranges of seriousness. Do you mean on here, FB, Twitter or some other platform?

Red Army 75 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 In the Afobe thread there are a lot of accusations of people trolling. A lot of people feeling hard done by . A lot of topics being ruined. I thought this would be a good for people who have those issues to discuss it . Instead of turning topics into a bitchfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 TBH I find Robbored rather dull and repetitive on many, many subjects, but wouldn't class him as a troll. It's just his personality that seems to irritate many rather, I think, than him deliberately setting out to do so. There are far worse people on this forum than him.

exAtyeoMax Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 It's not even the trolling, it's the constant baiting of certain individuals, and people bitching, and replying to comments. When I started work years and years ago, I was given one bit of advice for these kinds of situations - "don't bite!" I learnt to ignore lots of people/situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Rather than just put someone on ignore, actually ignore. Don't respond, no matter how trivial, irritating, petty, pointless or trolling their post might be. That way, if no-one at all ever responded engaged or quoted them it might stop them. Works for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I put RR on ignore a while ago, mainly because people seem to need to respond to him and send the thread all over the place, just because they find him irritating. I never had a problem with his posting, just the need for some to be wound up! The page one, line one response should be 'don't feed the troll'!

Silvio Dante Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Damn. Opened this thread and thought it was an appreciation piece for ex-gas manager Paul Trollope, where we laughed at how they hounded him out as they thought they were bigger than him and haven’t reached as high since.

BigAl&Toby Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 What always makes me smile is the language that the man uses. For someone whom I recall telling us he used to work within the mental health profession all I can say is thank **** I wasn’t under him..... Nurse RR: So tell me Big Al. When you were living with depression how did it manifest itself? Big Al: Well Nurse, I often felt like ....... Nurse RR: Jeez. FFS. Don’t be so gullible..... If it wasn’t so frequent and ridiculous it really would make me wonder.... And I know. I could put him in ignore. But then where would I get my pleasure?

Unan Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 This forum has gone to shit. Few posters posting often, when was the last time you saw a good post from someone you don't recognise? City fans trying to wind up other City fans. Beyond me. Forum needs to be advertised or something, I understand that does cost though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does occasionally make valid points and express an actual opinion, but 90% of the time it's pure guff to attention seek. Equally, being an attention seeking arse isn't the same as having a personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be that something very good, or something bad shit crazy! I guess there are only a finite number of people that are interested in posting on a forum anyway?
