Pseudosufferers; How Do You Identify Trolls?

[Nonexistent]

Wait, so how do you know that user was a troll? :/

Yeah I saw that and it p*ssed me off too. I was about to message her and go mental at her (I didn't thankfully). It's very strange someone would do that I just don't get it. Hope you feel better now @billie you know what they say "never take an ass hole where ever you go, you can always pick one up when you get there". Xx

The first post identified as a non ptsd person but a writer of some sorts wanting to know of how it feels for the symptoms, the next post identified as a new member with the symptoms in question. The next post identified as a person now with ptsd and elaborate symptoms that correlated to the symptoms of the charrector of the story.

Did you feel like you were scanning? Like obsessively?

(((@billie))) I totally understand. That initial thread was totally out of this world.

Can you link each post here? If you are comfortable with it.

@NoWhereKnowWhere you know what they say "never take an ass hole where ever you go, you can always pick one up when you get there"
Hahahah best quote ever!

Not obsessivly, the new posts just came up in order on my screen. Had comp on in background. First post was ridiculous.

I can't believe someone really is so naive to believe one can write a good story based on others' sufferings, hadn't experienced them... And be so f*in using (a narcissist/psychopath? ) as to lie and pretend just to get a story. What a lunatic (sorry, lunatics)...

But why?? I just cant wrap my mind around what benefit it provides to troll on a site like this. There has to be a reason for someone to go to the trouble. Is it just attention seeking or something else?? Sorry, Im new to the whole forum thing, this is the only one I participate on, just mind blowing to me.

It made me even more angry that this person only has to change her profile to get back in.

No, as I have understood it, she can't come back if she's using the same ip-number, then she will be blocked again.

IP address is only one part of the system Anthony has for being alerted to people who are attempting to re-register with a new name/profile. Sometimes a person may be able to create a new account but it will trigger an alert for staff and they will deal with it very quickly. Of course if you truly believe that someone who has previously been banned has created a new account, report it to staff. But really if a person has done this they will be found fairly quickly.

I thought her postings were a bit odd. I mean it's as if she was trying too hard because she was supposedly on symptom overload, yet at the same time was a chipper chipper chipmunk. Yeah, you never see someone first post who is that symptomatic yet behaves like Susie Sunshine.

Wow! I never even considered someone would do that. I can not imagine the motivation. Whatever.
