The problem is trolling used to be smart people acting retarded, but giving subtle queues away.
they would use tact and intelligence to construct arguments that would cause people to become enraged, and those who saw the queues would also enjoy the spectacle of those poor individuals who fell for the joke.
however, if there is one lesson the internet has taught mankind it is this:
any community that consists of intelligent people acting retarded will soon be overwhelmed by actually retarded people who think they are in good company.
when the internet became a more popular place; myspace, facebook, reddit, 9gag etc, real retards were exposed to trolling
Real "trolling" is dead, now people will just post **** pictures, and go LOLO I TROLLED YOU JIMMIES RUSLTED??? XXXXDDDDDD
now we are flooded with retards who think they are clever.
we made the bed, now we lie in it.
the joy of trolling "supposedly" comes from outsmarting the other person.
its about being in on the joke, pulling the wool over somebodies eyes, and to some extent yes the thrill of making someone lose their cool.
but i agree with you, nowadays "trolling" is just people who just detract from an internet community. they add nothing.
its this phenomena that is sometimes refereed too as "pissing in an ocean of piss"
the idea is that when troll started becoming ****tier and ****tier the community itself became one that perpetuates this cycle of indo-canabalistic activity.
you can see this here on the *REMOVED*, people post race thread and certain people go "typical nikkas" etc etc. so then somebody else makes a thread about "huehue i got dat 3 letter acronym white boi and i steal you womenz, u mad?"
both these threads are examples of what is called "5hit-posting"
**** posting is posting that does not add to the community in any fashion. its not funny, its not insightful its just ****.
but ****-posting begets ****-posting.
as i said before, this "pissing in an ocean of piss" phenomena. when all people see is ****-posting thats what they in-turn do themselves.
so i would argue, that in large trolling is not a "truly" malicious act. but rather it is a weird cycle of action that occurs in online communities.
i am very interested, personally in the psychology of the internet.
we are the first generation who has gotten on the virtual space en-masse and i think these formative years could in large part dictate the future of the internet as a medium.
You said the same thing twice.findecanno said:medium combat speed is for bads and euros.
findecanno said:Alright Gk, I am sorry for calling Obama a communist. I was wrong.
The real communists here are the Gks and Taleworlds admins. Long live free speech!
But in all seriousness, ever hear the term "don't feed the trolls?" Just by posting how you don't want political discussions, you are just asking for them.
On Topic: Siege is boring, Deaf blind daves maps lag my crappy computer, and medium combat speed is for bads and euros.
findecanno said:But tell me deaf blind dave, it not for random political and other discussions, and the occasional actual clan business, what point to clan threads have? Look at some of the most popular threads in the history of warband clans. We have the hoboknights (now locked ) and the CoR thread. Both threads were extremely successful due to the fact that people can talk about whatever they want. If not for people talking about whatever the heck they wanted to, the thread would have gotten nowhere.
So as not to break any more of your precious rules, tell me exactly what we can say on this thread?
