We need to define a troll before we move to far into the topic. A troll is someone who joins a site that allows questions answers and common responses in oppositions or along with agreement to the original post, but instead of following format and protocol, the troll initiates a fight. Think of Fishing from a boat that is moving slowly through water. you do not have to cast out and reel in repeatedly, because the bait is dragging behind the boat. Eventually something will bite. The main goal of a troll is to look as innocent as possible while posting something off the wall, that he himself finds funny but confusing to others who are foolish enough to fall for this trolling.
The ultimate goal is to lead someone into arguing with the troll. If executed correctly, the troll will look innocent, and the dummy who fell for it, will look like he started a fight with someone who has a legitimate question about whether or not you can use skittles as ball barrings in your skateboard. This in turn leads the fooled forum goer, banned from the site for being a jerk. End result is the trolls win and there is no one left within the forum to talk to so the trolls go away. Final result: the website/forum/chatroom is now dead and all page views have stopped.
A simple minded Explanation of how to troll
How to Identify a troll.
In most cases they either have no avatar, or are using an avatar from the website. Instead of a personal choice uploaded from their location.
Watch their grammar. If you can create an account, you can form a sentence.
If you are better at speaking another language, chances are your legitimate post would be on a site based on your language.
Typos like (teh) do not count, quite common, even in hospitals.
Usually no signature, if there is a signature, either a gag link to a bad site, or something that makes fun of another person. That should be your first clue ( this person is a jerk)
The post is made, and the person is no longer signed in. Why do they do this? So they can change to another account and probably respond, to look and or sound as if they agree to the trolling post. Why? because it will question your judgment. Two verses one, who is wrong?
The dead horse. If there is something that has been almost forgotten that is a bad omen for the site you are on, they will bring it up. Repeatedly. That ip address needs to be banned. Yes it is a factual event, but let the horse decay already.
Brand New account. No you can not ban everyone for being new. But you can ban people for being new and acting like a retard. Easy answer, log into their account (as admin or moderator), change their password (switch first letter with last letter) .
How to Prevent Trolls
You can’t really unless you just don’t make a website.
They are a huge part of the internet, they actually do add an alternative thought behind a lot of stuff. Most of the time they have no idea how deep what they are saying is, they just spout out like an a.d.d. child with a bag of sugar and a pot of room temp coffee. So they say a lot of stuff and remember none of it. You on the other hand before you know it’s a troll are actually considering some of the stuff they say. It gives you ideas. If you write them down before you realize you have been duped, you may actually be on to something. Good chances you will be upset enough to forget everything until the troll is abolished.
If you need help with understanding more things about a forum/chatroom
Post here it’s free no hassle, I will be more than glad to help
have you seen the new look of facebook?
Seems not many are happy with the new look.
I myself make it loud and clear that I hate facebook and it’s interactivity.
The place is the antisocial network. You can’t call it a social network if the only
friends you can have, are friends you already have.

We are not happy, and we are not stupid
Despite those numbers, despite rabid user loyalty, you’re losing money, so much money you got delisted from Forbes’ Masters of the Universe Billionaires list. At the same time another social network, much smaller than yours with less functionality and more questionable future, is gaining a lot of buzz and membership.
looks like yelp.com is under fire
according to

The complaints highlight an irony for Web sites that stimulate online communities and let users speak their minds. As the sites make the world more transparent, giving people the power to discuss everything from a great pizza to a bad date, the sites’ own transparency is often questionable, as consumers and businesses struggle to understand how they operate.
Ok I am now sharing the wealth (buying some friends). IWorkWithTech.Com
I created a forum for techy people and video gamers. In doing that I decided to go ahead and do a monthly drawing for $50. It will not be a check or cash, it will be a shell gas card. The gas card will have a value of $50. There will be a drawing every month. You will be entered in the contest everytime you post.
Here is Where the Rules are Located
Just talk video games, or help people with their computer problem, or heck post tech news.
Join site and post.
I have been very busy with my social sites.
I will index them all in google and yahoo very soon. When I am done after I get a few people on each of them and get a few complaints and requests so
I can tweak the site. The launches will all be at the same time. So yeah I will get very drunk and and celebrate my efforts on that day.
Thanks to those who have helped and believed in my efforts and knew that I could do this.
I will take two shots for each of ya.
This is what I have been wasting my time with.

I am sure atleast one pertains to your interests in some shape or fashion.
Do me favor, Sign up to one and make a post for me.
I need to see how well the sites handle stuff before I go full
release with this stuff. Also let me know what you think and what you
might want to suggest.
I have a forum on my site now, it’s up and running.
To me it was the nicest looking and easiest for me to use. The goal is to just start helping people with tech issues, and cover video games . Well you know, TECH content. I just want to help people and talk about some fun stuff. I have created a few categories and put some content in there. I would like some tips and ideas or maybe a few questions I might be able to answer for you.
So come on in and look around and sign up. Maybe make a post or two. Let me know you’re out there.

Sheesh, after all of the work I did, I linked it wrong.
Link fixed now.

It’s new , it needs you.
I just built a tech support and rumors forum with a video game and console section.
I hope you people like it.
I will be adding moderators as I see the users with morals sticking around.
I will be banning all clowns as fast as I can and as often as I can. who knows maybe I will redirect them to forums I hate 
The goal is to get information and news about tech to the world. and what the hell, to hang out and talk to others like myself.
I don’t see any out there with the same stuff as what I have envisioned so I am making it myself. yes there will be a fight room. Because hey, we all do need to get it out of our systems.
But no fighting in main rooms.
There is avatar and all other options we all have been missing through the past few years as these places seem to get invisible these days.
Yes you can upload your own images to my server, I can handle a fricken lot .
