A troll is a person who posts rude or offensive messages to disrupt discussion or to upset its participants. Kwak Keum-joo, a psychology professor at Seoul National University who has studied the issue, said people who post malicious remarks often get hooked on the habit of seeing others respond to their inflammatory remarks.
A common tactic that many trolls resort to is the strategy of using multiple usernames or pseudonyms that are ready to use just in case a debate or argument emerges. By using multiple usernames (called "sock puppets" in this context) and a variety of artificial personalities the troll would have the ability to protect his image in a community. A troll would then also be able to increase his or her influence in an entire online community by simply using those other self serving nicks to increase the attention towards his or her most favored account.

Ignore the troll. |
Teachers, students, ladies and gentlemen, you now have a notable addition to your English vocabulary -- boyrate. See the example above.
A boyrate is a person who signs into a forum in order to attack somebody. A boyrate uses anonymity to keep him or herself from being hunted and banished.
Boyrates are vile attacks on a specific person.
If you create an anonymous name for the purpose of attacking somebody you are boyrating. |
