Lolz! This is hillarious!

I'd just like to add that the word troll has morphed a bit from its original meaning. Apparently, it is now acceptable to call pretty much anyone who tells a lie, attempts to mislead or do anything of discord a troll. I'm a bit more old school, trolling is the process by which a prank is orchestrated by means of luring in your victim with a "bait" to then play out your prank for desired humorous effect.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

Quote from: wumpus on July 08, 2011, 04:12:21 PM

I'm laughing out loud here, great and fairly complete analysis of the weird animals we have here in the community zoo

Quote from: evoorhees on July 08, 2011, 02:59:00 PM

I can't have sex with a Bitcoin so Bitcoin is useless

A related one is "there are not enough women on the bitcoin forums so bitcoin will never be adopted!".

I thought forums were for men while Facebook is for women, and Twitter is where they meet up (meetup--I had to add both keywords so that I can be on the first page of Google) to listen to music on MySpace together.

Night all. Proof I'm getting tired: I saw this headline on Google News and clicked on it because I thought it was about... You'll understand when you see the headline: Bunions: When Do They Become Something To Worry About? (I swear to the great Bitcoin Miner in the Sky that I didn't see the word "Bunions"--I read it as Bitcoins).

Here's the link if any forum members have bunions or are planning on buying some with their Bitcoins: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/neal-m-blitz/bunion-symptoms_b_889357.html

I cant believe this one was overlooked!

ROI Troll
I can't spend x dollars on a video card and make x*2 dollars back in 24 hours so mining is pointless.

You forgot the Paranoid/Conspiracy Troll
-Never believes any proof put forth, Always believes they have the correct answer no matter how wild the claim.
-Anytime a pool or market goes down for the slightest bit of time it MUST be due to a Government Agency making a move on it

Security Troll: (addition)

The "I knew I had a virus on my machine but my wallet got stolen, wah, wah, waaaaaah" troll. Very closely related to the "Hey guys, I lost an (unprovable amount, just points to the blockchain) and I should get donations to get it back" troll.

It amuses me that they think we can't see through their hucksterism.

I was reading the comments on the weusecoins youtube video yesterday. A lot of people were like "I have a 200 IQ, and I can tell you for certain that bitcoin will never work."
What kind of troll would that be?

The ever dangerous Arrogant/Stupid Troll Hybrid.

Can I use this as a reference guide for moderating the forum? Grin

At the least I'm going to bookmark it and start classifying also.

Pure economics is boring. This would add a whole new sociology dynamic to the forums. We need a forum mod to rate the troll level and specificity of posts.

Guess how popular this is going to be

You forgot:

trader troll: it's only going up up up baby! BUY BUY BUY (so I can make my cash out target)
statistics troll: technical analysis of this tea leaf pattern predicts it's going up/down/sideways/nuclear!
miner troll: another 400 gamers stopped playing Farmville, and everybody knows price follows difficulty!
early adopter troll: we are the new elite my friends, I predict BTC to go to $10,000 by next week!

Always verify deals with me through my public key!

Quote from: billyjoeallen on July 08, 2011, 02:51:44 PM

The Forum has become a menagerie.

Market timing trolls:

market's up troll: Don't buy because the price is too high
market's down troll: Don't buy because it's going even lower
market's sideways troll: stagnation is prelude to a crash
market's crashing troll: don't buy because it's going to zero
market's rocketing up troll : BUBBLE!!!

That's me alright! :p

This is actually a very easy design flaw to fix, cut a hole in your bitcoin, add a little lubricant...

How about:

TROLL THAT ANNOUNCES INSIDE KNOWLEDGE (BUT CAN"T NAME SPECIFICS) OF IMPENDING DOOM THAT WILL KILL BITCOIN DEADER THAN DOORNAIL.

How about the I have 5 posts and I'm the first person to notice that all of you are wrong about design decision X troll?

Or the No one will ever accept deflation (because I got here too late to get a pile of coins when it was still easy) troll. But this is really one type of known troll in disguise as a different type.

Shamantastic!

You forgot Dragons and Uruk-hai, paid professionals that target Bitcoin forums during times of duress.
Dragons have superior intellect training par excellence to guide trolling masses towards legitimate threads and long-time posters with the sole aim of distracting from proper posting. Uruk-hai are infiltrators that lay dormant until the dragons attack and do pile-ons and violent responses with endless thread production and support gibberish for dragon threads.
Or I could be completely wrong. Undecided
