Meta: Please Don't Feed Trolls

Submitted by LynnS on Tue, 08/05/2008 - 11:14am.

Trolls wander into every website now and again, including here at OMI. Please don't feed them. That means not responding to their posts. Some trolls respond to their own posts anonymously to make it look as if people are talking to them; this is referred to as sock puppetry. It has happened here quite recently, and quite a bit.

Trolls want attention. That's why they're trolls. Don't give it to them. Thank you.
