Internet trolls

 

There are many different types of disruptive behavior when it comes to CMC communication. Some of them include spamming, which  is cheap and easy to create fake names, flaming and trolling. The results of trolling include members signing off of the website, nobody participates or comments and troll/ flamer is removed. A trolls someone who intentionally disrupts online communities by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community. Internet troll hide behind their computer screen, and actively go out of their way to cause trouble on the Internet. Trolling is everywhere that people can use to interact and have conversations with one another. Some examples of places that you can find trolls are Facebook, Twitter, , Instagram, Tumblr or any social networking site. People troll for different reasons some people may feel depressed, attention-starved, angry, sad, jealous, or some people just want to “make the internet mad”. Like the picture above says usually trolls try to make people upset because they think its funny or want others to feel as bad as they do. Trolling can be completely anonymous because people can hide behind their computers,  fake screen names and avatars when trolling and after they’re done, they can carry on with their real lives without facing any real consequences. As most people already know the best way to deal with a troll is to ignore them. Most trolls are looking for a reaction from others and if you don’t give it to them eventually hey will stop….Hopefully.
