What separates a good troll from an outstanding troll? What techniques and methods do you employ to maximize outrage and anger from the members? Race-baiting? Chauvanism? I feel those have been overdone throughout the years and majority of the DXP members have grown immune to such tactics.

What's fresh and new in the troll community?
Outstanding trolls are rarely marked as a Troll, and yet still create the intended disruption.

While I don't want to give away the playbook, what would you think if I told you CC was actually on my payroll, and that disrupting an astro website was the ultimate use of my time and effort?

Apparently, catfishing and deleting/coming back are the "fresh and new" tactics. I find them jejune and trite.

But a more serious question I have is, why are you here and why did you start this thread calling yourself a troll? Did you come to troll? Is it fun? Is it filling a need?
What's more important is what do YOU think?

Is "catfishing" the new trolling?

Official definition:

Image Not Found



Now, with that in mind, what if said "catfish" was not trying to lure anyone into an online relationship. Yet still manage to draw the ire of others merely by existing with a fake profile. What would be the cause of such a reaction? Would it still be considered "catfishing" or just trolling?
It would still be catfishing. After all, that fake persona got somebody on the hook....
