TROLL CLASSIFICATIONS:
"Not-by-the-hair-of-my-chinny-c
hin-chin" Troll: This type of troll is not as common. He will never list his favorite teams, but repeatedly look up everyone else's and make fun of their teams. He's very unique in that he's the Big Bad Wolf, who will huff and puff and blow your house down, and the 3 Pigs in that he prevents you from attacking his team by the hair of his chinny-chin-chin.
Annoyance Level: 5/10. Kind of annoying, but easy to brush off.
Comedy Factor: 6/10. It's always hilarious to watch cowards and hypocrites in action.
Kamikaze Troll: This troll runs through screen names like it's his full-time job. He has no intention of saying anything meaningful. He will generally run through about 5-6 screen names in a month. They have no regard for maintaining any reputation and willingly sacrifice screen names in an attempt to harass others. They have no subtlety, and have don't have enough staying power to make significant contributions in the trolling community.
Annoyance Level: 3/10. Their posts often get removed so quickly that it's hard to even see many of their posts.
Comedy Factor: 2/10. I suppose it's kind of funny seeing a string of Post Removed By Administrator messages.
Hollywood Troll: This troll LOVES to brag about championships and remind others how few they have. It makes him feel better that a team he roots for has more titles than a team someone else roots for. It's often his only response when someone says something he doesn't like about his team. He is very similar to a frontrunner troll, though not the same.
Annoyance Level: 8/10. These idiots can run a thread off track really fast.
Comedy Factor: 1/10. It's actually quite sad they only get any enjoyment out of life through the accomplishments of others.
The Grumpy Old Troll Who Lives Under the Bridge: This troll is covered head-to-foot in yellow fur with a long orange beard, and.... Oh wait. That's the troll from Dora the Explorer. I have a 2 year old who watches it non-stop. My apologies.
Frontrunner Troll: Ah, the piece de resistance. This troll lives off insulting others. His primary purpose is to piss people off and goad people into petty fights. He never contributes anything meaningful. He disappears when his teams are doing poorly, but always shows up to gloat when his team wins or others lose. He has staying power and is often extremely successful in pissing other people off with their tactics. Very dangerous and almost impossible to ignore.
Annoyance Level: 10/10. These guys bug the hell out of you, and you don't want to give them the satisfaction by responding, but it's hard not to.
Comedy Factor: 8/10. They are often amazingly stupid and a good benefit is that they will provide entertaintainment by looking so dumb.
Enjoy it for what it's worth!
Hollywood Troll: Boston Fans:Except for you, Matty.
I have one problem with your list Scuba, where does the 'Who am I' guy fit into the equation. Although this person creates the thread there is definitely an extreme annoyance level when they never come back to answer the damn question!I call that the farmer troll. Plant a little seed in his original post and watches it grow from there. Occasionally comes back to add a little water to the seed but continues to sit back and watch for the most part.
