| | Slashdot trolling phenomena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Slashdot trolling is a subset and a microcosm of Internet trolling in general. | | | Popular on software and development articles, this troll tries to explain why a particular operating system, programming language or other concept is inferior to others, in a way intended to annoy, intending to start a flamewar. | | | Signature trolls are an advanced and effective method of trolling, commonly used in reviews of software. |

| | Slashdot - Open Encyclopedia |
| | Slashdot's core audience consists of Linux enthusiasts and various other enthusiasts of the open source software movement. | | | Created in September 1997 by Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda, Slashdot is now owned by the Open Source Technology Group, part of VA Software. | | | Also sometimes featured are movie or book reviews, interviews, and "Ask Slashdot" queries from users requesting information from the readership. |

| | Chapter 4: Community, Contest and Collective Action |
| | Such a lens of classificatory analysis, while insufficient for a consideration of the tactics practiced on and through Slashdot’s collaborative news network, are aptly designed for a study of the application of strategies. | | | Much like network divisions, then, the version of collective action exercised by Slashdot’s trolls, what could be called a form of network protest, positions itself in distinction to and defiance of Slashdot’s collaborative news network. | | | Rather than seeing trolling behavior as purely unconstructive, Sims connects it to a strengthening of Slashdot’s underlying code that aims to better anticipate an increasing array of trolling tactics. |

| | The subject line needs to draw attention to your post without making it obvious that it is a troll. | | | One way to go about garnering more replies is to make it a larger thread by replying to yourself anonymously about what a wonderful comment your original is, or adding basic links found by a Google search. | | | As a result, I have updated some of the information to fit what Slashdot has evolved into. |

| | Automatic IP banning might work, so long as it is applied a bit more intelligently than Slashdot's and as long as queries from those auto-banned are treated with a bit more respect. | | | Politely posting conservative viewpoints in debate on dailykos, for example, is not trolling. | | | The auto-banning is really only hurting the "good" users, yet the trolls run rampant. |

| | The number of Slashdot trolls versus usenet trolls posts is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. | | | So there are only 1500 Slashdot trolls, compared to the 3 bilion Internet users. | | | You don't have to be Kreskin to predict trolls' future. |

| | It is true that we have quite a bit of pertinent information about slashdot trolls, but we also have just about every important topic as well. | | | One of the reasons I was excited to be asked by Roblimo to do this interview is that the slashdot community in particular has been so generous to us in the past. | | | Of course some areas are in greater need than others, and finding them and resolving them is an ongoing effort in the community. |

| | Trolltalk |
| | When Slashdot was upgraded to SlashCode 2.0 the bug was fixed but there was a short-lived new feature called "user-created discussions" which featured numeric SIDs. | | | Soon thereafter new trolltalks were created such as 20721, 31337 and 20384. | | | Slashdot's moderation system isn't used much on trolltalk, since the community is rather small and users rarely get mod points. |

| | misbehaving.net: trolls |
| | On Usenet the best way of dealing with trolls is to ignore them. | | | Weblogs tend to solve the problem of trolls - when they turn up, which seems to be quite rare - by banning the IP of trolling commenters. | | | Posted by: jeneane at November 9, 2003 08:10 PM My suggestion would be to ban them; ignoring them won't work because someone *always* responds to them, and when it's in the comments, there's no way to stop that. |
