EDF Effective Trolling guide

[woodrot]

Trolling can be a rewarding and satisfying pastime for many, but many inexperienced trollers made potentially fatal errors , that undermine their aims. heres are a few points for Prospective EDF trollers

DO ingratiate yourself in low key areas, such as family section or lost and found before embarking on a killer troll

DO cosy up to long term posters with messages of support in their utterly futile and invariably Wikipedia based arguments- this can pay dividends later

DO use the smiley face icon to show that you are open and honest when beginning the ingratiation stage

DONT invoke the "Clown" too early

DONT Show your hand and write in BLOCK CAPITALS

DONT use too many exclaimtion marks to make a point!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A sure-fire winner is to create numerous identities and let some lie doggo for ages with just the odd neutral post - to be resurrected years later with the full force of forumageddon.

[Moos]

Good one, maxxi.

DON'T then cock it up by revealing suspicious familiarity with the forum and with your previously banned self.

(Hey, what happened to that Moos, was she banned or something? I thought she was always dead funny and a really great contributor...)

[Otta]

Top thread, I am making notes.

Expect the return of Slosh soon...

[Moos]

The Slosh Strikes Back.

Slosh 13: Liquid Revenge.

Slosher Slasher!

Awesome. Popcorn on me.

[Michael Palaeologus]

I remember Moos.

Lost to us.

Doing good works among the natives in foreign parts as I understand.

[Otta]

The Moos factor! Bringing East Dulwich back to Huguenot.

[Loz]

As long as she doesn't bring Huguenot back to East Dulwich...!

[Huguenot]

You never know.

[Ridgley]

Yep I second that:)

[El Pibe]

DON'T fistpost by asking if Admin can be voted off the forum.

[Huguenot]

Is that 'fistpost' ?

[Otta]

DON'T mention

1. Buggies

2. Yummy Mummies

3. Kids in pubs

4. M&S / Waitrose

5. Anything before the year 2000

6. Supermarket meat

For the first 6 months.

We had a sleeper troll not too long ago.

I reckon U*T is lying low as we speak, ready to pounce, the equivalent of a silent but deadly fart...

I think you got it wrong Woody about the 'Family Room'. That's a dangerous place if you put a foot wrong.

Oh lord, I don't post as often as I used to!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I a troll?

[Captain Scarlet]

Nah..Joke forum is a great place for trollin!

1. Don't forget your login/password.

2. Remember to occasionally contribute towards other threads on the forum rather than simply posting on your OWN thread. Especially if you have just moved to the area. Shows an interest in what's going on etc etc.

3. Choose an inconspicuous username. Preferably one showing erm...lack of imagination, such as real name+number combo. You get the idea.

4. Rinse & repeat.

Happy Trolling!!!!!!!!!
