I agree especially when it comes to people with multiple accounts and cyber bullies but sadly we still have a lot of trolls on the internet. I think the best way to deal with it would be to have everybody speak to the Admins or owners of websites over the phone when they join'cause that way they would know they were real and not people with multiple accounts. If the owners of the old IMDB boards had done that it might still be around today.
While I know there are trolls with psychological issues who get off on being malicious but obviously those ones don't speak for all. Some trolls can be generally harmless, silly and sometimes can make things way more entertaining.
Yes. You have a point. Not all internet trolls are malicious but when you spend months dealing with psychotic ones (like the extreme ones below) as a moderator on a music channel's forum you tend to be less trusting of some of the people you meet on the internet. I print screen any trolls on forums now who bully, stalk or harass me 'cause my cousin who is a federal police officer told me to so I can build a case against them if they don't leave me alone and become more violent with their threats. Sadly being a comic book fan comes with a lot of hate when you are female and openly bisexual and I was subjected to some of that from day one by sexist turds on the superhero movie and TV show boards on the old IMDB Boards but I also met some good members which was why I stayed and I haven't had any of that on here and the members on here have been a lot friendlier.
