Model Forum / General / Rockets / May 2005PLEASE Don't feed the TROLLS!
Please don't reply to posts for make money fast, or other obvious trools in ANY newsgroup. Many of them get filtered out or canceled when reported back to their ISPs. We'd never even see them if folks didn't waste more bandwidth replying to them, rebroadcasting their garbage again and again.

Please don't reply to this guy, he's obviously just an attention-seeking troll trying to bring others over to his peculiar way of thinking. ;-P ;-) > Please don't reply to posts for make money fast, or other obvious trools in > ANY newsgroup.

Please do not reply to this this guy, he's obviously just an attention-seeking troll trying to disuade troll-bait from not fulfilling their natural function. Will it ever end? :-) Sometimes I really feel like replying snarkily to some of the broadcast spam garbage, and have sparingly done so in past. I've always regretted having done, feeling that spammers are accumulating targets based on response frequency.

You are correct. A number of trollers are simply out to get responses, and they accumulate a score for each response. The score doesn't mean much except to other trolls. One way of telling this behavior is to look for crossposts. The trolls will crosspost to several groups, one of which is their scoring group. Every response is a point or something. So if you can't help but respond to an obviously moronic troll, at least break the chain and cancel the crossposts.

It means that there are enough gullible idiots on the newsgroup that it is worth posting more spam. > One way of telling this behavior is to look for crossposts.
