How do you spot RNC trolls on YA?

Question

Thank for all answers thus far.

I've hidden my Q&A's and Contacts from anyone not on my list because I received so many violation notices that I was in danger of . . . whatever it is they do, like waterboard you or something.

I posted this question because someone else posted a similar question recently and it disappeared. I don't know the reason why.

RNC stands for Republican National Committee.

Answer 1

There is a great number of RNC trolls and other jerks who keep reporting users if they disagree with the content of a question or answer regardless if question or answer violated anything. In addition YA themselves keep removing "unpopular" questions depends on YA employees political views. All this is very much wrong.

Usually RNC trolls are first or second level with low points. points and weird avatars. I myself usually block them immediately. In addition, I suggest that you keep changing your avatar at least once a week that way it will be more complicated for them to spot your questions and answers.

Remember to change your avatar weekly.

Answer 2

Bait them by asking loaded questions which you know will solicit their canned responses that are usually regurgitated rhetoric for the core issues that are particular to or pertaining to the Republicans, such as WMD's, terrorism, lies of the Bush administration, hypocrisy of the Republican party, tax cuts, abortion, incompetency of the Bush administration, etc. you get the idea. The amount of deflection (look what Clinton did, etc.), denial, changing the focus of the issue and outright hypocrisy are all common traits. Smok'em out and Roast'em !

Answer 3

Well, the most glaringly obvious characteristic of a True RNC Troll are the posters who use words like "LIEBERAL" and "libturd/libtard" and whose actual ID names are things like "libsticker" and "the cure for liberalism" attached to a picture of a bullet. That's a troll with some mental issues.

Don't think there's too much question of troll designation for those types.

Then there's the whiners who post almost daily about how their questions/answers are "targeted by the libs" so every now and then it does them good for one of us to post OUR deleted question or answer so they get the point that WE get reported, too. But the Rightwingnuts who continue to thrash about and moan about "libs reporting them" are true trolls, too.

And then there are the ones who only post inflammatory questions about Muslims and/or Islam - Sharia Vigilant was great for that; or "Why do Dems/Libs smash in their Grandmother's face while they stomp on puppies" and crap like that.

Pretty much a troll, there.

Answer 4

I think the best way is to tell how adamant they are toward an issue by HOW a question is phrased and what (if any) responses they provide to folks who answer them. If the responses they give tend to be right leaning (or blatantly right), you'll have your answer...

Someone above mentioned hiding their questinos and answers... I agree - THAT is really suspicious of someone if they truly have nothing to hide...

Answer 5

They collect a lot of thumbs down when they answer a question, but blame it on secret "gangs" of Libs that "are out to get them".

Answer 6

They are extremely mean spirited and will stop at nothing to blast and try to destroy someone with different views.

Answer 7

hiding their q&a's are a dead giveaway. obviously, they are hiding something.

i'm sure that you guys have very good reasons for hiding all your very questions. personally, i wouldn't use this forum to ask or answer anything that was that private.

getting violations from fools should be a complement.

it's not like catching cancer or your mom dieing. man, this is like fantasy league sports.

i gave my answer as joke. i don't know what RNC is, nor do i want to know. get real guys, this is an amusement park, get it?

Answer 8

the same way you spot dnc trolls, give a middle of the road issue and watch what color of cool-aid they drink

Answer 9

their simpleminded catchphrases
