(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); By looking at “The Rules of the Internet” one can see some pointers on how to deal with trolls.

1.Do not talk about /b/
2.Do not talk about /b/

While rules 1 and 2 are a basic reference to the movie Fight Club, many of the subsequent rules function as a sort of guide to coping with trolls.

3.We are Anonymous
4.Anonymous is legion
5.Anonymous never forgives
6.Anonymous can be a horrible, senseless, uncaring monster

Rules 3-6 are a brief summary of the character of Anonymous

8.There are no real rules about posting
9.There are no real rules about moderation either – enjoy your ban.

Because everyone is Anonymous, there is no real central figure. Anonymous tries to be self-governing, but as we’ve learned from Boxxy, Anonymous is easily divided.

11.All your carefully picked arguments can easily be ignored.
12.Anything you say can and will be used against you.
13.Anything you say can be turned into something else – fixed
14.Do not argue with trolls – it means that they win
15.The harder you try the harder you will fail

Rules 11-15 describe exactly what one can expect when confronting a troll.

18.Everything that can be labeled can be hated
19.The more you hate it the stronger it gets

Rules 18 and 19 reinforce the presence of trolls and the nihilism behind the trolling behavior.

Rule 20. Nothing is to be taken seriously!

Rule 20 is perhaps the most important rule of all.

34.There is porn of it. No exceptions.

Rule 34 is a popular meme, and was only included because it is widely regarded as “the only real rule.”

39. CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL

Rule 39 is an example of some good-natured trolling. The annoyance caused by CAPSLOCK is widely recognized, so to say that it is “cruise control for cool” is one of the few instances that sarcasm is able to carry over to text without much effort.

42.Nothing is Sacred
43.The more beautiful and pure a thing is – the more satisfying it is to corrupt it.

Rule 42 and 43 are statements that apply not only to the motivation behind trolls, but also to a warped sense of catharsis that some have experienced through observing trolls.

You do realize what anonymous is right?

Rule 63 has nothing to do with ignoring trolls.

How does
"For any given male charecter, there is also a female"
have anything to do with trolling?
