Some common Trolling Methods

[Figaro]

You are entitled to your feelings. Indians have no reason to allow for the existence of this propaganda forum. Do you really expect them to lay down and die ?

I am still awaiting your explanation for why the chinese troll.

Meanwhile what is your opinion about people who use False Flag ?

I told you I hate trolls both Chinese and Indian. I'm not an apologist. What I mean is there are many individuals who join PDF just to flame-bait and spew hatred. Regarding the false flag, it is very similar to the red-herring fallacy I pointed out (one of the most utilized weapons in the troll inventory

Some third rung Whatabouters and Gish Gallopers here too ....

What say?

Cheers, Doc

Never go full retard doc.
This is just forum where we come to let off some steam.

Don't take things so seriously

In larger context, what we discuss matter so little and has so little impact that it makes no sense to get so worked up about things.

Anyway, the worst online trolling is the 'I am better than you & hence won't debate with you' kind of trolling. You know the one way street where you put your point across and smugly look down on people who have a contrarian view...Yeah, remind you of some one you know?

You still have not answered my question as to WHY the chinese troll in a pakistani forum.

I am not interested in knowing how you "feel" about them. I am asking you WHY the chinese troll in a forum that belongs to their "Friend". Is not quite the same thing as an Indian troll.

This is the 4th time I am asking the same question without an answer. I hope I don't have to ask a 5th time.

Uh ... you probably should have been more clear on that. I think it's also probably due to trolling Indian people as well given the contentious relationship of China and India. When they see an Indian badmouthing China, they also bash them. A troll does not have a nationality; a troll is just a troll.

So your explanation is that the chinese troll because the Indians troll.

So its all the Indians fault.

Does that seem logical to you ?

An Indian bad mouthing china can be replied back with FACTS that negate his claims. For example if an Indian was to talk about the protest in HK or TIbet, the chinese response would be "what about ..... something in India". or They would say "Obama's brother live in china".

They do it because they are 50 cent soldiers send to fight a propaganda war. They are not here to debate or discuss. They are here to control the narrative.

I'm going to sum up what I said in one small sentence : Trolls know no boundaries, no nationalities, and no limits. I really hope this satisfies your question.

A troll is a deformed mountain cave dwelling humanoid.

What was the origin of using the name to describe the cyber versions?

Cheers, Doc

Comes from "Trolling" which is a way of fishing.
The guys which are trolling are "Trollers", but "Trolls" sounds quite a lot cooler.

Trawling, is dragging a net (or trawl) after your boat. Trolling is different.

A twist on trolling is the "Moderator Troll", which will remove posts
taking one side, but let posts taking the other side remain.

Obviously a Pakistani website like PDF is always going to be a bit partial about Pakistan,
but I have feeling the Turkish section and Chinese section are beeing moderated in different ways.
Turks will remove troll posts vs Turkeys. No problem with that.
I see (some) Chinese moderators applying censorship, so even non Troll posts might be removed
if they do not show China in a rosy haze.

The Chinese forum is moderated by a German super mod ...

 

[livingdead]

I have done all of these but usually without my knowledge, not deliberately.

I might be mistaken, but if You have Moderator status, can You not moderate any forum?

A typical sequence in the Chinese Forum would be:

1. Chinese proudly claims that China has landed the first man on the moon.
2. I post a press release on Neil Armstrong's first moonwalk.
3. Moderator removes my post without comment.

Tell me where you get these ideas from? There are trolls in the china defense section, without a doubt. But there also other trolls lurking in PDF. No Chinese posters (their flags) have ever claimed that the walked on the moon but if they did, they're clearly delusional and you ought to shut them up. Regarding your comment removal, it probably has to do with off topic discussions (the moderator usually deletes any off topic comments despite good intentions). If what your saying is true, I agree with your assessment (no Chinese ever walked on the moon). I hope this satisfies your answer but you can always contact our mod to resolve issues ...

I think Pakistanis also interact with Chinese frequently. If your Indian ... well let's just say you're in for a tough time (It's PDF .... whatdya expect)

 

[StraightShooter]

Pakistanis have special place for China.

Not sure how it is moderated in PDF by the forum software does provide capability to make a user a moderator for a specific forum or a list of forums or across all forums.

Seems like Iranian, Chinese & Turkish forums have their own ethnic moderators in addition to super moderators of Pakistani origin. Indian forum seems to be strictly managed by Pakistanis.
