Don't feed the Trolls.

As the post I posted earlier links to a blog from another classmate about cyber bullying here is a similar post from the web, socialmediatoday.com, about trolling. The post explain what is trolling and what is considered as trolling. Who are trolls and what do they do? It is an age old problem that's been going on forever. What exactly do trolls do? "Trolls aspire to violence, to the level of trouble they can cause in an environment. They want it to kick off. They want to promote antipathetic emotions of disgust and outrage, which morbidly gives them a sense of pleasure.” – Tom Postmes" (Nisbet, 2013) What does this sound similar to? Cyber bullying, it is a form of cyber bullying but at a scale in which it doesn't just target one person, but targets an entire forum. Trolls motivations vary from one user to another, but their objective is always the same: to emit a negative response from the community to those who oppose the user. Trolls want their comments to get flagged, trolls want people to get angry at them and get mad, in this way they win.
