The Top 5 Reasons You Should Not Troll
I have decided that this would be a pretty popular, yet fun list to write. So here you go.
#5) Run Visitors Off
Most of these boards that you can post comments on have a high amount of unique visitors every day. Most of these unique visitors are people you should want to stay and come back. These people help support the website and keep topics hot.
#4) You Cannot See Others Comments
Whenever someone gets on a board and randomly starts shouting "sony sucks" or "nintendo sucks" it makes it harder to figure out who is commenting on what. Comments are already hard enough to understand, do not make it any harder.
#3) Respect Others Opinions because They Will Not Change
You should always respect another posters opinion. Just because you feel a certain way about a subject does not mean they should necessarily feel that way. No one is going to change their opinion to someone who is rude and being unfair about something anyways. A rule of thumb is to ignore anyone who cannot say more than a negative comment.
#2) People Are More Responsive To Polite Comments
throughout a board, just take a look, you are more likely to get a positive and thoughtful response from someone who has been reading a nice comment other than the jerk who posted "Microsoft sucks" 30 times. It also makes the community look better, people will not troll a board or website in order to ruin a communities reputation most of the time. They are looking to run off anyone who does not share there point of view. Which in essence will eventually get back to a person who does share their point, but would rather not be in a community filled with trolls.
#1) It is Annoying
The obvious one, it is so annoying to post a long comment that had a lot of thought in it and someone to come out with a response like "sony sucks". Does that not make you feel like you just wasted half an hour typing for no reason. It is also annoying in general to just have to read "Nintendo sucks" 30 times.
These are strictly my reasons that you should not troll. You may not agree and the list may be missing a reasons you think is more important, think you have a better idea? Leave a comment I am more than happy to discuss it.
