Start a fake account and pretend to be a woman (like Mosh). Post lots of insane libertarian tea bag shit. He will probably PM you at some point (if not, just wait until he says something off the wall and then PM him: 'oh, I KNOW! We should send all the Mexicans back to Africa!')

Build rapport with several PMs per week. Mention your boyfriend and how your relationship is a bit rocky right now. Rip off some pictures from Photobucket and include them. If he doesn't make some kind of advance, give it like 4-5 weeks and then send him a long emo PM about how you broke up last night, and you've been crying for the last 20 hours. Tell him how lonely you are.

At some point, arrange a meeting with him. Hopefully he is close, if not, you may have to coordinate this part with another forum member. Find some ham beast on OK Cupid and use her as the girl. Go to the meeting place undercover and be entertained with what unfolds. Take some discreet pics if possible.

Now, follow him home and note his address. Go on Craigslist and make a post about how all the stuff in his apartment is free. ('Oh, and I might have accidentally locked the door, don't worry about it, just break in').

Someone is sure to take his computer. Now he cannot troll you anymore.

Have to say, some of the thinking in this one is well thought. It's like the ultimate anti troll however you look at it, and from a first glance sounds like it could be really effective.

It's a funny idea, but if you think a well-practiced troll would fall for some e-woman you're kidding yourself.

Nick, think like our resident AzN but x10 worse because he's much more intelligent. English isn't the dominant language over there, that's why it's a little different.

!!!!??!!
Just do the standard, NI HAO!!! or Me so ronery shtick that usually goes on in ATOT.

I know, that'll probably get you banned. ;)

That sounds like a GREAT idea!
This would solve two problems at once and the US blacks that will be sent along with them will have people to mow their lawns in Africa!

I've been using lolwuts, caution tinfoil hat, Joseph Ducreux messages, obvious troll is obvious for a few things to name and I think they work, because he gets quiet after that.

(re-edited title to be more precise)
Hmm....those are some powerful weapons there.

Have you tried anything more substantial, such as an extravagant animated GIF (preferably hosted on your own domain name), or a scathing Youtube video? The GIF files though, try them. Those are surely the Weapon of Kings when it comes to trolls.
:awe:

Stop caring about strangers on the internet. Don't learn any of their names/handles and just post when you're bored. That's what I do. If you care about any internet site so much that you are upset about the way someone is acting on it or remembering much of anything about them once you click the 'X' in the upper right, you have issues. It's the internet, nobody cares.

Yeah that applies to alot of people on here too. You care way too much about strangers.

One way you can troll on trolls is to post evidence of them contradicting themselves.

Yes that means I have never in my entire life on the internet remembered anyone's name. THATS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT.

99% of the time, happy?

You care way too much about this website.

I'm sure in your endless amounts of internet usage you've never in your life typed an opinion that was 100% perfectly true each and every time.

Regardless of that post, I still don't care. That's why I go months without posting. Alot of people on here are totally obsessed with this site. Congrats.
