Default 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).
