A really stupid and pointless website.

In my days as a Managing Driector of a comapny = that deals=20 with the World Wide Web I find some pritty stupid looking=20 stuff.

Sometimes it is outright pointless.

Today was a day = that I=20 found such stupid and pointless content.

I was reading a blog that I like = and the=20 author suggested that we the readers google the writers name.

I = did=20 so.

What I found was a shocking waste of my bandwidth. The site = is called=20 scamfraudalert. My first thaught was "what the hell is a scamfraud? Is it a fraudulant scam report = or a scam=20 about fraud?

Perhaps a scamfraud is a person that makes up scams = and trys=20 to get sympathy for themselves.

This seemed to be the = case.

The=20 page I arrived at appeared to be a general and no specific name calling = session=20 as might happen on any childish website. You know the kind - sites = opperated by=20 imiture game designers or stuckup coders aged about 17 who think they = are owed a=20 debt by every one (radik).

The site was a basic vBulletin (Version = 3.5.4) forum=20 with no outstanding features and a simple bog-standard = theme.

Well the=20 low down is this: some one wrote something that was harsh. It got = deleated. It=20 got undeleated so an admin could have the pleasure of banning the = author. Then=20 several posts got edited so that the thread I found made more sense if = you read=20 it backwards (none).

Well not to judge the website by what one = moderator=20 did I looked arround a bit. Thread count was low (bad sign) user turn = over=20 seemed high (bad sign). Community seemed slight (bad sign) and the site = had to=20 many forums in it fo the post count.

The topic seemed to be = "let's=20 talk about the crap we get in our in boxes that any sane person deleates = on=20 sight."

Who cares if you have just seen a new version fo the = advanced fee fraud or a fresh varient on fake rolex, cheaps drugs or low = cost=20 loans.

Grow up.

I did a DNS search on the domain and my = worst=20 fears were shown to be true. It was a silly one shot website that was = run by an=20 American. Why do they let their citizens make the country look so = bad?

It is safe to say that I did not sign=20 up.

Further searching found that this guy behind the pointless = stupidity=20 was some jerk off called James Landrith.

Grow up kid.

I = found his=20 blog and some unconvincing use of some bad pun SEO words in a cross = posting=20 entry that he has clearly been pumping for search rank.

His site = is=20 pritty well pumped with a Google Page Rank of 6 on the front page and 4 = on the=20 page I found.

However I can inform the world that this guy is a = one trick=20 pony. A total arse wipe of the worst kind a total sackless ameba with = all the=20 brains God gave a sack of spuds.

You see in my time I have = encountered=20 his ilk before.

They a usually males with a tiny manhood a small = mind and=20 massive anger at the mediocer live they lead. The blog like somany other = "angry=20 young man" blogs is full of nothing bad hate and rants that have no = pattern save=20 the ranting itself.

We can all rant.

Look I'm doing it=20 now.

Easy, stupid and all he can manage.

James Landrith is clearly a low level monkey = boy.

Now on to=20 more well thought out searching.

Let's treat the troll with=20 all the information he needs.

Follow up on this = data=20 confirms the connection between the forum and this blog.

Now = what this=20 dude has been doing and what I have just done at great length is called=20 TROLLING. I was "being a troll".

The number one rule of websites = and=20 forums is "Thou Shalt Not Feed The Trolls".

Feeding the Trolls is = engaging with them. Answering back and sinking to thier level. (as I = have done=20 with this post).

It is the easy mindless path and leads only to = more=20 anger.

The troll feels enpowered when you react. They feel they = have=20 control over you.

They feel they have control because they=20 do.

When you react to a troll they OWN you in that = moment.

Ignore=20 the troll and they will get madder then dirt. They will rant and swear = and get=20 themselves kicked out.

Eventually they will go looking for other = mindless=20 souls.

This=20 forum shows an entry of Cross Site trolling.

This can be much = harder=20 to cope with. In a cross site trolling you may not have the power to = bring them=20 down.

Don't react. Remove their comments from your site and most = of all=20 DO NOT go to thier site, not even to look.

If this is your first = cross=20 site trolling it will probably make you feel very hot under the=20 collar.

My first Cross Site Trolling was for saying that "Spit = Like This"=20 were a crap band and played a crap venue. I then went on to really lay = into the=20 venue but the fans thaought I was laying into "Spitz".

Lesson = learned=20 sometime later when my blog had no more readers.

If you are = involved in a=20 troll war (now you are both at it) do this. Make a short post and = heartfeltedly=20 appologise to your readers. Confess that you have felt hurt and that you = acted=20 in a childish way. Tell them sorry for bringing them into you arguemnt = and then=20 say "the whole issue is stupid and talking about it shows the talker is = stupid=20 too. That's the last word ont he subject."

After a while the = other troll=20 will be exploding with anger that they can not get a reaction. They will = rant=20 and scream and burn themselves out and all the while people will see = that you=20 have drawn a line under it.

Yes a little mud might stick, but any = one who=20 matters will be able to look for themselves.

So stop right now, = clime up=20 to that moral high ground and be above it all. This is the way you=20 "win".

The other option is to loose all your readers.

Now = I might=20 have had fun coming up with silly insults and showing I know who to use = both the=20 DNS system and the star and hash keys but that is because I'm not in a = troll=20 war. I'm not in the fight just commenting on it.

In the same way = let your=20 loyle readers defend you without being asked and without you ever saying = anything.

Turn that other cheak, as it were. Show the world that = the=20 Troll you are suffering from is a total whinning lo-oo-ser.

By = the way=20 only 20% of results on page one of Google were negative about Rose. (I = assume=20 you all knew I was talking about that trolling didn't you?)

In = fact I=20 figure with a little help we could make that 0%. (Link to 10 possitive = Rose=20 DesRochers topic pages, each person who does so increases the odds that = the=20 possitive page ranks best. SEO 101).

Thanks for reading this = wondering=20 post and good luck with your trolls.
