So, would like to hear your advices here, trolls and 4chan-meme experts alike.

There's this dude on another forum that's really annoying, like nearly 99% of the forum does not like him, but he posts daily anyways.

Ignored him for a long time but seeing other people feed him, man it just rubs me the wrong way. Think something gotta be done about thim. The moderation team isn't exactly helpful either.

He does things like corrections, being an ass, pointing out flaws, Obama hatred (posts a lot of news), pro-republican, he also recently just found the SportKa cat beheading video and thought those were funny and wanted to share with us. He's your average "intelligent" troll and beyond. But he isn't net-savvy like we are here (ie hasn't been exposed to 99% of meme's).

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.

Any other suggestions on how to get 'em?

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.

Make a video of you naked, covered in apple sauce, dancing around while playing "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain" on a banjo.

Gets them every time.
 
Someone find the forum and post a link to this thread over there. This "troll" needs to know that his methods are effective and causing people like the OP to throw a hissy fit.

Wow, you win the thread. The only thing missing is tricking him to eating his parents at a chili cookoff

I will think about incorporating the troll methods on the other troll. Is that the key, troll on troll? :sneaky:

If it's really just don't feed him, then blegh, back to our regularly scheduled program over there.

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.

this.

that was like, post of the week.

on my other forums one of the trolls suckled his way into a moderation position

this is how he got owned:

he spent months complaining about his shitty marraige and how his wife had put on some weight since they got married and he didnt find her attractive anymore(which was great since we all knew he was a pudgster anyways)

so she joins the forum(he got her too, dunno why) and one of the guys he trolls quotes all of his posts in her newb thread calling her fat and saying he doesnt find her attractive anymore, all including links to his posts, not even having to misquote the guy

mod goes nuclear, bans user, deletes thread, gets mod powers revoked and ends up banned for a month.

also, wife then moved out of their house and in with her parents

it was pretty epic

they ended up getting back together a few months later due to preggo
