That One Time I Out Trolled The Trolls · 1:08pm Jul 21st, 2017

On another site, my posts were getting down-voted by trolls. So I changed my user-name to 'Feed Me Down-Votes' and then I made a post about how every down vote actually gets me paid $10.00 through Paypal because an ad company said they would sponsor my down-vote campaign.

People believed it and they only started leaving me up-votes. So many up-votes that my posts became the most seen on the site.

I was laughing so hard.

Anyway, the way to defeat trolls is to out troll them. Eventually they will give up and move on to an easier target to pick on.

That was a clever thing to do...

4608057 Aww thank you. That is very nice of you to say. I have found many a creative way to out-troll the trolls over the years. ;)

It just comes with being on the internet for a long time.

Wow! That is hilarious and very, very clever! I wish I thought of doing that XD

Smart move!

4608075 I am glad that it could make you smile. XD

4608077 Thank you very much. XD

4608091 I love Captain Jean-Luc Picard! XD

Ah the things people will do out of spite.

4608192 I know right? One time I got trolled on a site because people didn't like my profile picture. I'm not even joking! I never made any posts anywhere on the site (like on any of the site's forums or even blog posts) but they were somehow offended by my picture (which I think was from some anime, forgot which one). It makes me wonder what it wrong with certain people, sometimes. <_<

That sounds amazing good job out trolling people

Anime attracts irrational hatred. So do ponies. Anthropomorphic characters. Anything patriotic. Drinking beer. Drinking tea before tea time...

...people have issues. I think it is because some people are simply too judgmental and can not phantom that opinion they don't share can be right.

4608217 Aww thank you very much. I am happy that you approve. XD

4608222
Did you ever reveal the troll to the site

4608219 I think they are just angry and/ or bored people who have no life. :P

Fortunately, most trolls are relatively harmless and are easy to deal with. :P

4608223 Reveal the trolls? Do you mean report them or something?

No, I never reported them. They eventually just gave up when they realized I was trolling them back. lol

4608226
I meant tell them you were trolling

4608224
Oh I am sure they do have life. It's just a life I wish not to experience.

Ehh the only power trolls have is the power you give them. Personally I am more disappointed at bad trolls than any other kind. Proper troll should be able to make delightfully mocking statement that inspires laugh from others and ire from the target. Bad trol is just sad attempt at humor.

4608230 I never told them that I was trolling. But some of them figured it out and gave up after a while. lol

4608231 Yeah, I don't mind the funny trolls. They are mostly harmless and just trying to be funny.

I was talking about the bad trolls, aka angry/ bored people.

4608242
Nah haters aren't trolls. They are just very sad people. :fluttercry:

4608246 That is very true. But they often refer to themselves as 'trolls' when in reality they are just using that as a cover to be haters.

4608242
When I’m bored, I post potato.

Like now.

(And yes, that’s hosted on imgbb.)

4608250 Potatoes are sexah. :rainbowwild:

4608248
Bah they soil the proud trollish culture. Better use that soil for potatoes.

4608281 I know right? how dare they steal the sacred troll culture from the true masters? Who do they think they are? :raritydespair:

Lolll. Well done.

4608407 Thank you very much. XD

4610231 Aww thank you. I am glad you are supportive of my crazy antics. XD

4610241
Giving trolls a taste of their own medicine is a justice :D

4610245 It is using the divine powers of the troll for good. ;)

4610272
With great power comes great responsibility ;)

4610277 That is very true. XD

4625829 Aww thank you very much. I appreciate the compliment. :)
