Flagger troll: a troll who reports other people's content just to get it removed, even if it isn't broken, miscategorised or even lacking in quality.

FTHOI (For The Hell Of It) troll: a term used to describe a troll who causes trouble just to get people annoyed, which he/she finds ammusing for some reason.

One-starring: to rate content as "Garbage". Other variations include one-starred, one-star and one-starrer (I know, the last example was garbage :P)

Vengance troll: a troll who despises another user and decides to rate their content as "1 star", insult them and -as I have recently found out- flag the user's videos (also known as a flagger troll).

Hater/Fanboy/Fangirl troll a user who has an unnatural hatred for the spot's subject and seeks to sabotage it in every way possible.

Ego troll: Also known as the UTOA (Up Their Own Arse) troll, an Ego Troll who accuses another user of being pathetic compared to themselves (these are mainly false accusations, due to the typical troll lacking in talent)

Cinders You been hit mighty recently by a flagger troll Mr. Wrench? Using my awesome powers of deduction, (the fact that "flagger toll" is first, that you mentioned them again in vengeance troll definition, etc) I would assume you have. In any case-- *Hugs*! For any troll-victims. And smurfs for trolls. Good article. Can't wait to see it grow.

knifewrench I was hit three times (actually six, because one user flagged three videos with two accounts). But Dave, being the nice guy he is; sorted it out for me and now the troll has been removed.

dazl Dave is a nice guy. We should give him a fruit basket. Can I troll this, for old times stake?

knifewrench Lol! Ok, Once we've administered this rhino tranq- I mean um.... caffine into your blood stream.

knifewrench I can't think of any more. I would much appreciate it if someone could give some more definitions :)

katiemariie There are also trolls who attack spots because they hate or are morally opposed to the subject of the spot. For example, a Republican trolls the U.S. Democratic Party Spot, a JAM fan trolls the Jaren spot, or a person one religion trolls the spot about another religion.

knifewrench So, what should we call this type of troll?

katiemariie I think we should call it the Hater Troll.

Lucia322 Hate trolls! One of them rates my images as garbage!!!! It's so insulting!!!

Chris Crocker on Trolls

This prominent gay figure stands up to comment-trolls and haters. Gays like him do not deserved to be flamed, his behavior is completely reasonable and should be encouraged.

Ways That You Can Notice A Troll

posted by katetekiku

These are ways that you can notice a troll spawning.
Before you read this, my examples are relatively stupid. I don't really know how to act like a troll, so my examples suck. Sorry.

1. A troll may have unreadable grammar and spelling, making things hard to read, even their insults. A troll may use the regular internet shorthand, such as "ur" instead of "your" and "u" instead of "you". An example of troll-like writing is this: Were r u, wunderland? u suk.

2. Another way that you can notice a troll is a person abusing the caps lock. Abusing the caps lock is making an entire paragraph capitalized....
