FYI....

Everyone wants to be heard. Remember that. And we all have our ways of expressing.

So, after saying that here are some pointers for troll behavior:




Tips
Trolls love attention and they love it when they see angry replies.

Don't feed the troll.

If you announce you are leaving because of trolling, it will convince the trolls that they are winning.

Inform your friends about the troll so they don't respond.

Don't let mean trolls upset you.


How to Deal with an Internet Troll

Trolls on the Internet can be infuriating to other people reading or participating in a website. If you know how to handle a troll, beating the troll frustration-free can be very simple and quick, as outlined here.


Make sure you're dealing with a troll. Sometimes, what appears to be a troll may just be a very stressed out person. Avoid getting heated yourself and try to ask kind questions or make kind suggestions before assuming the worst.

1. Always assume good faith initially.

Keep your sense of humor. You may be able to joke them out of their misbehaving.

Consider ignoring them. Troll behavior directed at you will usually stop if you don't add fuel for them to play with.


2. Report the troll to an op, administrator, or site owner. An op (channel operator), administrator, or site owner will know how to deal with the troll and will know whether to ban or kick.

3.Use the ignore command. If you want to ignore them, type /ignore troll's_name_here, you won't see any of the text they write!

Ignore the posts. A troll's goal is to make users angry, and by responding to their posts, you are "feeding the troll". The sooner you extinguish the trolling, the better.

Compliment the troll. Trolls will be thrown off balance if you give the a simple compliment, and may even stop trolling people. And keep it up!

Ask the troll to stop posting on your page. Only do this once.


Stop responding to them. Keep your sense of humor and don't get angry. Treat the matter as what it is – someone testing your boundaries and waiting for you to bite.

Warnings

Arguing with a troll can get you into trouble, and it doesn't make them leave any sooner.
