Is this a new phenomenon?

There seem to be a new constituency of members who’s sole purpose is to spend all day on the forums belittling others and generally shitposting and behaving like assholes.

They are an unfortunate, although a minority, element of the Forum. This isn’t a recent thing by any means. However, I think naming and shaming would be contrary to Fabguys' Terms and Conditions that we all agree to when we join the site.

The best approach is to ignore trolls. They have a strange hunger for a response, and by not engaging you stop them in their tracks. If you receive a particularly nasty or upsetting post, reporting it directly to the admin team is by far the best course of action. Hope this helps.

Naming and shaming could get you banned. Best to ignore them but, if you think they are really vile or disruptive, then report them.

Trolls have existed since the birth of the internet.

If they are not breaking site rules there's 2 things you can do.

1) ignore them

2) waste your time counteracting their stupidly with logic

That's a rather subjective judgement, isn't it? Is a dastardly, hurty hypocrite such as myself permitted to call out a smug, sanctimonious, judgemental worldview? I'm guessing not.

The words of my old Latin master come to mind: "The wisdom of tacitus et immobilis starves the appetite of every calumniator!" It translates to:- The wisdom of staying silent and unmoved starves the appetite of every malicious accuser! Useful advice from 55 years ago, it applies to gluttonous trolls too!

How ironic. You purport to be the latter yet you persistently goad people from thread to thread, bringing up irrelevant subjects for your own sport.

I've noticed you do it today on two or three separate threads, in fact you've done it on this one as well. Rugged Northerner made a post about favourite holiday destinations and you've already tried to wreck it with unnecessary digs relating to Newcastle.

You've also done it with the unpopular opinions discussion - obsessive narcissism.

I agree, Starr33, it seems like a case of serial trolling. Much of it is unfathomable and irrelevant, and some of it comes across as blatantly rude and condescending to genuine Forum users. I genuinely find it quite concerning and hope the person is okay and getting support. I wonder if other factors, like alcohol, may be involved. I can’t believe anyone would behave this way in real life away from this site.

Condescending like calling someone an oaf? Perhaps you also need to reconsider the timelines. Your criticism has no basis whatsoever in objective reality. If posters dish it out etc. This is ignored and it's kinda important.
