New Type of Troll Activity
There is a new type of troll attack on rec.photo.equipment.35mm as well as traditional troll behavior. A troll is posting crude forged insults, mostly of a sexual nature. That is traditional troll behavior. Another more clever form of troll activity is underway. A troll is using the names of rec.photo.equipment.35mm posters and is posting reasonable on-topic newbie questions in various newsgroups, such as, in rec.crafts.winemaking, a question about how to start making one's own wine. However, the follow-ups are being set to rec.photo.equipment.35mm , where they are completely off-topic. The apparent objective is to cause rec.photo.equipment.35mm to be swamped with off-topic traffic that is not meant to be off-topic. The best approach is to ignore any off-topic responses (or to go back to the newsgroup in which the posts were on-topic). - - Bob McClenon |
