Flagger troll: a troll who reports other people's content just to get it removed, even if it isn't broken, miscategorised of even lacking in quality.

FTHOI (For The Hell Of It) troll: a term used to describe a troll who causes trouble just to get people annoyed, which he/she finds ammusing for some reason.

One-starring: to rate content as "Garbage". Other variations include one-starred, one-star and one-starrer (I know, the last example was garbage :P)

Vengance troll: a troll who despises another user and decides to rate their content as "1 star", insult them and -as I have recently found out- flag the user's videos (also known as a flagger troll).

Hater/Fanboy/Fangirl troll a user who has an unnatural hatred for the spot's subject and seeks to sabotage it in every way possible.

Ego troll: Also known as the UTOA (Up Their Own Arse) troll, an Ego Troll who accuses another user of being pathetic compared to themselves (these are mainly false accusations, due to the typical troll lacking in talent)

Cinders You been hit mighty recently by a flagger troll Mr. Wrench? Using my awesome powers of deduction, (the fact that "flagger toll" is first, that you mentioned them again in vengeance troll definition, etc) I would assume you have. In any case-- *Hugs*! For any troll-victims. And smurfs for trolls. Good article. Can't wait to see it grow.

knifewrench I was hit three times (actually six, because one user flagged three videos with two accounts). But Dave, being the nice guy he is; sorted it out for me and now the troll has been removed.

dazl Dave is a nice guy. We should give him a fruit basket. Can I troll this, for old times stake?

knifewrench Lol! Ok, Once we've administered this rhino tranq- I mean um.... caffine into your blood stream.

knifewrench I can't think of any more. I would much appreciate it if someone could give some more definitions :)

katiemariie There are also trolls who attack spots because they hate or are morally opposed to the subject of the spot. For example, a Republican trolls the U.S. Democratic Party Spot, a JAM fan trolls the Jaren spot, or a person one religion trolls the spot about another religion.

knifewrench So, what should we call this type of troll?

katiemariie I think we should call it the Hater Troll.

Lucia322 Hate trolls! One of them rates my images as garbage!!!! It's so insulting!!!

About this spot

posted by knifewrench

This spot was created because our wonderful internet village of Fanpop has been infected with trollitis. If u are not familiar with the term "trolls" then allow me to explain: an internet troll is a person who goes on a site of aantal keer bekeken a video just for the sake of insulting someone's interests, contributions of opinions.

Trolls are very hurtful. Even though we know our content isn't bad, it still feels awful to see that 1-star rating on content we have added.

Quite a few trolls have been popping up on Fanpop (excuse the pun) and rating many a contribution as "1 star" which are worthy of at...
