Well, have you even had to deal with internet trolls? Can you maybe give some tips to someone who's been trolled recently?



Hmm just recently, today I got temp-banned from a forum I liked, because of a troll.



Specifically I was trying to counteract the troll with stuff like Solve the puzzle and such(I'm weird like that) and I even told the stupid idiot not to mess with me, because I did in fact, troll in the past(I quit that at some point) and I even unfortunately, stooped down to his level.



In the specific board of the forum I was posting in, the rules are a bit lenient in some regards, but one of the rules was No reporting any posts, unless they contain something illegal or with nudity.



But, because of that stupid troll, I caved in and reported his post and thus I just got temp-banned.



And now I have to wait a long while, before I can post.



I'm still going to post on there, when I'm able to once again.



He did what most trolls would do like I'm doing your mom(You should know what that means) and stuff like that.



I tried to counteract him, saying stuff like My style of trolling is different. Instead of making people angry, I torture their minds and unfortunately that didn't work.



So, any tips for surviving a troll and beating them at their own game?
 
Here's my advice to anyone dealing with a troll:

Two simple words: Ignore Them! Trolls thrive on getting a reaction. When they don't get one, they move on.
 
A simple way to deal with trolls: ignore them. If you respond to them or their actions, that'll only encourage them to continue their wrongdoing.

What a stupid rule.
 
It depends on what kind of troll they are and where at.



If it's posting then I ignore them. But in chatrooms, I do like to mess with them <3

Especially the stupid trolls that just yell random insults. They're so hilarious.



But the smarter ones that use logic as their basis of insults, I usually like to troll them back. And then I get bored and ignore them. <3
 
My best bit of advice is to just ignore them. No point in trying anything with them as that will only aggravate them even more and make them cause even more chaos. Your best bet here is to just keep ignoring them.
