Die 'trolls' op dié nuusgroep, wie is hulle?
Het hierdie informasie afgehaal van news.newusers.questions Nou kan dié ng. se mense self besluit wie die TROLLE hier is. Kyk nou maar self wie partykeer 'n 'posting' doen om aandag te trek en 'n reaksie uit lok. Groetnis. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > Would somebody like to define a troll? I have heard these referred to in > other newsgroups, and guessed that they were people who insisted on posting > off-topic messages. Is this correct? In addition people often refer to having someone man the troll gate or warn not to feed the trolls ... here is a neat description: A troll is a post designed to disgust or shock a good portion of a group or simply to stir up the pot. "Troll" is a fishing term meaning to drag bait slowly through the water and catch fish on the line. In Usenet the troller drags his bait (offensive or pot-stirring post ) through the group to see how many fish (indignant posts or posts from naive newbies) he can catch - those responding are his fish. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Safe haven for parrots: http://www.parrotsafe.demon.co.uk/index.htm South African ringneck site: http://www.mjvn.co.za/ringneck/2_ml10.htm Birdbehavior: http://www.upatsix.com/liz/ ------------------------- My Parrot Photo Album: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/AlbumList?u=66404&Auth=fa lse ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
