So I have to give a general discussion on human behavior on the Internet, and one part will include online forums.

These are the categories of users that I've included so far:

[*]regular user
[*]troll
[*]lurker
[*]sock puppet (secondary identity that is usually created to support a main identity in some way)
[*]astroturfer (identity used to spread propaganda, be it commercial, political, etc)
[*]attention seeker(aka whore)
[*]neffer (assuming that there exist users whose primary activity is neffing)


Can anyone think of another?

Ahh, I have some vague memory of seeing that somewhere else a while back. Most are too tongue in cheek to use, but they might give me some ideas. Thanks!

Neffing happens on all boards. "LOL" and you have another post on your count...

Neffer...
Flamer... similar to a Troller
Black Man Avatar... (or is it Black Avatar Man?)

EDIT: Not really a user type, but being spidered (a.k.a. being Syringed).
