Trolling

Trolls -- The hidden face of social mediaA 'troll' is slang for a person who deliberately starts arguments on the internet with the aim of provoking an individual. Trolls have driven people to depression and even to commit suicide. Trolls are becoming increasingly common. They hide behind their anonymity and they just spew venom on whoever they want to . A troller can disrupt the discussion on a new group or on an online forum, disseminate bad advice and can destroy the feeling of trust in the online community . But now no more ….. because why be afraid of those who can't even show their faces.Through an experiment simulating an online discussion, we find that both negative mood and seeing troll posts by others significantly increases the probability of a user trolling, and together doubles this probability. To support and extend these results, we study how these same mechanisms play out in the wild via a data-driven, longitudinal analysis of a large online news discussion community. Trolls are people with serious sociological, psychological, and deep-seated mental issues, stemming from either regulatory offense, mental disease, and problems with their sexual identity.So dear trolls let's sit together and talk face to face.. let's see who you are or you are real or fake !! because now no troll is safe . #STOP TROLLING STICKS AND STONES CAN ONLY BREAK THE BONES, BUT WORDS CAN KILL YOU .
