Bitcoin Forum

It's time to give the forum's greatest trolls the true recognition they deserve, and in the right context, as well. For a clear definition, here is the one for Internet troll taken from Wikipedia  (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll)(unsurprisingly, the topic is locked from editing):


The troll poll will run from 7/31 to 8/21.

Every qualifying voter can cast up to 2 votes in the official poll. The final voting tallies and winner will be named after voting has closed, at which they will be awarded with the grand prize: a magnificent pile of shame and the recommendation of being put on Ignore by all users!

For profile links to all nominees, reference the post below.

Aaaannnd.... Go!

can find some of the trolls in here too....

Sorry I couldn't resist a bit of terrible photoshopping  ;)

Back on topic: I'll go with Game-Protect (if he's still around)

alevlaslo and roach are the biggest pain in the arse

Yin & yang of trolling, rebal15 & r0ach.

Keen to see if my personal troll lvl is up or down. ;D

Only 2 nominations per person, so I'm taking these first two... Good call on not nominating roach, he got 2 votes already... Edit: oops, I forgot my own voting rules, so not quite yet. I'm not nominating members in the poll for the sake of keeping it as "impartial" as possible.


It depends on how many BSV people read Meta! :D

What is it that trolls truly want? Attention. And you're giving it to them. Any true troll that gets nominated will just feel validated in their actions, especially if they win. The worse thing you can do to a troll is completely ignore them because all the want is your recognition and this thread is giving them all they want. Ignore them and they go away defeated. Entertain them and they keep going because that's how they get their kicks.

Yes, this is absolutely right, feeding the trolls would give them more energy to continue trolling, best way is just to ignore them.

What you are doing here is mass feeding of trolls by giving them more light btw !

I considered this. A true troll never completely goes away, at least not without a fight. They're going to keep on keeping on whether this poll existed or not. Most trolls will claim they are not a troll, so I don't know how validating the title of "biggest troll" is to them.

Besides, as this poll is inclusive of any member that has ever been a part of this forum, its a chance to recognize trolls of the past for their magnificent achievements in trolling. Its not limited to active trolls.

I should have nominated NotLambChop, possibly the undisputed champions of trolling for a lomg period before she got DOXED & left.

Trolls do go away. There's plenty that have come and gone here over the years. They get bored very quickly especially if nobody takes the bait. If everyone ignored them they're just screaming into the digital void and trolls don't like to waste time. They're powered by attention and annoying people. If nobody gets annoyed or even acknowledges them then that's a mortal wound to them and they'll find something else to do or troll elsewhere.


Well that's what they claim but 95% of the time it isn't true. Sure, there are some idiots who just believe the world is flat or in chemtrails, but most are probably just trolling, though obviously you do get the idiot-troll hybrids.


She? Someone I doubt NLC was a female. And that user spent a very long time botting the forum with hundreds of accounts. It was NLS who was spamming gay porn all over the forum and hence why newbie accounts can't display images. Out of interest, where was this doxing?

Yes but those aren't the trolls that people will be nominating for this poll. The best trolls are the ones who know how to suck people back into an argument even after they have tried their hardest to turn their backs on them. This poll isn't going to have a noticeable affect on the level of trolling on the forum. After a month or two it will be over and done with, and before long everyone will have totally forgotten about it.


Ooh, sounds like a potential winner. I must have missed out on all of that. You should nominate them.

Game-Protect :-D

This seems like a bit of fun, kind of like the opposite of the "most recognized" thread from a few months ago!

My first vote is for TECSHARE!

The second vote is more difficult as there are so many choices but I have to vote for BaDecker as he is an overachieving Troll!

1. BADecker (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=149737) religious troll in P&S. Living in fantasy world, however I have never seen him cursing on anyone because he actually believes he's saving soul and doing God's work.

2. realr0ach (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1115697) in WO

current: realr0ach, for constantly being offtopic (a racist and precious metals lover)

past: NotLambChop, because i still have those coyote gifs in my retina.

I won't be nominating any as I don't want to give them validation, but I have a couple in mind and they are bonafide trolls of the highest order.


Tecshare isn't a troll. He's just a twat and a humourless one at that.


He's one where you just don't know whether he's a genuine religious moron or a troll. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that people can be that stupid but then I remember my golden rule: Never underestimate how stupid people can be.


I still have the gay porn ones scorched in my memory.

This has been confirmed by Theymos here

@hilariousetc - User Lambie Slayer doxed NLC, the person behind the account was/is Izabella Kaminska (UK journalist @ The Financial Times).

I can’t find the link here now though.

And yeah it was NLC that posted pages & pages of gay porn to troll us. She also had a fascination with weird, creepy WW2 pictures & Jap/Chinese disturbing images.

NLC used to troll the forum on a daily basis for a long time. I provably should have voted her as the biggest troll here. The biggest troll on any website I’ve ever been on tbh.

I don't think he's a troll, just aggressive and opinionated. 

Some of the funniest trolls are ones from a few years ago and who aren’t active anymore. 

I’m not sure if manyproofs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=396699) would qualify as a troll, but his posts were hilarious to read.  I’m not sure if anyone could genuinely mangle the English language like he appeared to.

Fwdxlsh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=652315), mixan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=195206), kwukduck (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=654), and some other ones whose names I can’t remember also contributed some quality entertainment before they either got nuked or bored.  There was one (codishmumu (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=536017)) who kept saying she had a thigh gap.  Then there’s MPOE-PR from 2014 or so, who made some very intelligent but extremely biting posts.  They probably wouldn’t be considered strictly troll posts, but they were damn close.

We don’t have many trolls that are funny nowadays, just ones who rage against DT and the trust/merit systems—and thankfully that’s been on the decline recently.

cockr0ach (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1115697) is my vote and I think we WO people will first think about him if you ask us 🤪

Truth is cockr0ach most of the time does not make sense what he say. Whenever he gets chance he will do everything to humiliate Bitcoin but he likes to hang up in the WO thread 😜

In Sundays when everyone is busy drinking, you will find cockr0ach is still posting.

cockr0ach is a real deal, a true exception.

I must nominate myself for trolling the bsv and bcash threads

I find that hard to believe without any evidence. A female journalist spent so much time spamming this forum? Why? What makes you think NLC didn't try frame that person (which would probably be quite easy to do by leaving a few faux breadcrumbs)? I'm not sure what evidence NLC could have left behind but I'd like to see it.

This is all I could find but the The Doxing account looks to be nuked:


The Doxing: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=657548


S/he was probably more a long-con scammer than a troll.

You should read his conspiracy driven HARD alt right nonsense in P&S.  I stand by my vote for him as a troll!

He is not a troll, the guy is serious.

notabatman
BADecker   8)

^ Although these guys might be serious as well.

Also anyone who promotes BSV or BCH must be a troll, or a dumbass.

Level 1: Being trolled

Level 2: Being the troller

Level 3: Troll by being trolled as a troller

Level 4: Making a troll poll non-ironically

I think he's a troll on the basis that he always has to have the last word about any sort of conflict, whether its an argument or debate or whatever. He can't help but try to egg his opponent on just a little bit further than they want to go. Whether its just a gentle jab or an all-out assault -- he clearly gets off on getting people to reply to him even after they've given up, gotten bored, or admitted defeat, or whatever.

I mean you are pretty much describing everyone on this forum... Everyone is itching for a fight, regardless of the actual relevance of what they respond to. People seem to attack anyone who says something that doesn't 100% align with their immediate beliefs about a topic.

Point and case, are you gonna vote?

No.1 is easy.

realr0ach  A nasty, 'Holocaust 2' advocate, right out there born-again-fascist, misogynist nutjob. Plus 'it' just constantly trolls the WO with anti-Bitcoin, Pro-PMs shit. 

NLC was nasty, but she's long gone.

Most other trolls are not in roach's league, so it seems pointless to pick out a no. 2.  You can just ignore them and most do.  Newbie's keep rising to the roach's bait and wonder why it isn't banned.  If there is one troll on the entirety of BTCT that ought to be, it's this one.

So can I vote for the scumbag twice please?

I don't know if this account is better classified as a troll, or just a moron.  While I totally agree with Hilarious that we're likely just feeding fuel to their fire here, I hope it can serve as a reference of accounts to not trust/take seriously etc...

1 vote for RawDog ..https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=196289

Aye. This one pops up every now and then. I still find it absolutely impossible to believe. Mr. Slayer hints at the evidence but I haven't seen any other than the odd inference. Someone else reckoned it was a 15 yr old girl in Ohio or something and produced a few crumbs of evidence.

The chop entity and its alts was beyond anything I've ever witnessed so that's a given. As a runner up it's probably Stolfi who was almost as relentless but believed he had some value which makes him double dull.

I think Stolfi genuinely believed all the crap he used to spew. I don’t think that he thought he was a troll if you know what I mean.
He was one of the most vocal commenters to the SEC on every single ETF application as to why they shouldn’t be approved. The bloke is a total wanker.

He’s been aware of bitcoin since the very early days but self confesses he never bought. If he spent 10% of the effort buying that he wasted on researching everything anti bitcoin he’d probably be a multi, multi, multi millionaire.

Indeed. Which makes him a five bedroom, fur lined, twin turbocharged uber troll to the rest of us.

The most compelling villains in the movies are always convinced they're doing the right thing.

I remember Adam always offering to give him BTC which he always refused. The most bizarre of all is that he's still there on Reddit plugging away as dedicated as ever despite the relentless mushrooming of Bitcoin. The amount of time he's put in means he could've been a millionaire using that time to mine with a pencil and paper.

He must have put in thousands, or tens of thousands of hours in by now.

Sad state of affairs really, mate. Imagine spending all that time & dedication on something you’re not passionate about. It’d be like me on a train spotting forum telling them how pointless it is.

Maybe discovering BTC, realising he hated it and deciding to tell us over and over and over again turned his life around. Perhaps it turned him into a tiger in the bedroom and a warrior in the classroom.

All the same I'd prefer it if Theymos had allocated him his own forum with bots to agree with him.

Something tells me we'll never get trolls from that era quite that deranged in future. I think many back then truly believed they could talk Bitcoin into its demise. Even the most deluded can't convince themselves of that any more.

2017's bubble pop attracted nothing like the same amount of mindless doom 2013's did.

I'd suggest Game-protect too, but I really don't think he's a troll so that would be a hard NO from me.

I do have another suggestion though, he isn't that active anymore, but every topic I've seen from him just screamed 'troll'.

RawDog:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=196289

This guy has my vote. He posts random shit pretty much everywhere.


I'd reverse that and say TECSHARE is my 2nd. Dude's crazy, but not as lost as BADecker. At least BADecker has religion as an excuse.

Oh yeah, RawDog was a sociopath!

There's trolls, and there's more sophisticated trolls, at least the latter are a little more tolerable. Honestly, I can't even think of any sophisticated trolls on this forum, and they are all just the nonsense you see anywhere. We have to types of trolls on this forum that will bask in the sort of validation this thread could give them. Remember, that Bitcoin is something people want to be part of, and remembered within its history, and Bitcointalk is no different now. Even if it is for trolling....

I vote for digaran, strange that nobody haven't mentioned him. It was actually fun read his posts and miss him a bit. Lot of current trolls like cryptohunter, game-protect are just so annoying.
It's difficult to select second nominee, because there was/is so many trolls that I can't remember all of them, especially these who are inactive now or used new accounts to troll.
Probably I have to select someone from P&S section - there are quite many crazy people. But it's hard to understand who is trolling and who is just dumb. So, I select KingScorpio.

F*** I see r0ach as one of the biggest trolls as well, though I wouldn’t mind all the trolls to be gone BUT (don’t shoot me i’m f***ed up on rosé wine as we speak) I like r0ach to stay as the house troll of the WO I hope him to keep posting all the way UP etc............ and sometimes I do enjoy he’s outreageous posts ::)
One thing r0ach must change = he’s always same opening line on Some Posts (valueless tracking desingend govt token or something ::) ) but still many opinions on RL issue and woman etc sometimes make me laugh out loud .....

Maybe my to nomine’s and that F***ing gembitz are real trolls that bring nothing else as nonsense ....

1. BADecker (https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=BADecker) - Logic and arguments give way to magic and false conclusions when he is losing.
2. TECSHARE (https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=TECSHARE) - Been stalking me for four years since his opinions became irrelevant by default.
3. Notbatman (https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=Notbatman) - Trying to create the longest thread by constantly lying about reality.

Yes, I agree, an excellent addition that I had completely forgotten about. His greatest thread was one complaining about the first private key "directory," directory.io. The name of the thread was "This asshole published my private key!"

Nominee list updated.

I don't really thinl that this guy is a troll, it's just that his way of hinking is beyond the normal ones, he's an alien that hides with a human flesh and be considered as morethan of a troll.

Aliens are capable of learning human languages, that's the reason why we are able to talk to him but his mind and thinking are way off the earth so arguing with him will bring you a miserable life 😂

I'll nominate cryptohunter (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=92110) and reserve my second nomination for now.

Let me guess... Your second nominee wil be

THULE

I don't know if you can take that as 100% confirmation. He might have just been stating the blatantly obvious (like most of us can see).


Well that's what makes them trolls. Imagine someone going to a Lamborghini forum and then just shitting on Lambos constantly. I think the people who come here even to troll about bitcoin are probably fans or are at least interested or invested in the subject in some capacity. In NLCs case I used to think he was either a person who had made a lot of money from bitcoin and could afford to just sit back and troll about it all day or the opposite and he'd either lost a lot of money or cashed out at the wrong time and that hundred thousand or so he cashed out was now worth millions and that pushed him over the edge.


They'll be back, but don't tempt them. Bitcoin is probably going to be going up and down for the foreseeable future and if we get a huge crash again the fear-mongers will return but we've been through these cycles several times over the years and rode the waves of trolls that came with them.


I guess the people he effects consider him a troll, but I'd say harassment is just part of his business model as I previously addressed.


Yeah, he's a troll. That RawDog guy was like some anti-bitcoiner youtuber but I don't think that's his actual account and someone created it just to troll with.

No point in nominating Roach: he's already sure to make it into the list. Gembitz is a nuisance, but rising to real trolling seems to be too far above his head. Long gone members (NLC, Stolfi, etc.) also make no sense as nominations. Proudhon is still active, but his recent, infrequent posts border on autoirony. This would disqualify him as a troll at present.

Therefore, I nominate alevlaslo and jonoiv. Each in his own way, they have that kind of obtuse single-mindedness that elevates a nuisance to troll material.

I won't go digging years back, just mentioning current ones:

notbatman the nazi flat-earther
r0ach/realr0ach the nazi (seems like a pattern) metalist
cryptohunter the undead legend, could be a nazi too

I wouldn't call BADecker a troll. Despite being a lunatic he doesn't seem to be aiming to anger or provoke other users. There are some better candidates in P&S but on the other hand I'm fully aware how those topics make people say stupid things IRL, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're just opinionated idiots, not trolls. Perhaps "involuntary trolls".

I'm going to nominate Quickseller just because no one else has yet.
I'm also going to nominate Anonymint/iamnotback/anunymint/Shelby_Moore_III etc, etc, etc. Although, he is obviously intelligent, sometimes his posts are a bit hard to follow and required much research on my part just to understand where he is coming from. Someone who keeps coming back after being banned has to be a troll. (He now has other members communicate for him on his behalf when he is moved to say something.)

I nominate this twat (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=771606)....mentioned in my post here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164937.40) (it's the op of linked thread)
Everytime  he pollutes or creates a thread with his wall of text lunacy, he more often than not, obsesses over something I won't mention.
Not sure if he has mental health issues. (or is something that I won't mention.... again)

I nominate Bruno - YuTü.Co.in aka Phinnaeus Gage aka Gleb Gamow.

He trolls the trolls and is good at it. It is actually funny to watch and not detrimental to the forum.

The others that troll the trolls well are BobLawblaw and Tman.

When it comes to advanced level negative trolling some of the Russian trolls are expert at that. Usually it results in an eventual ban.

Sorry guys, I can only accept your first two entries due to strict enforcement of the arbitrary rules I set up in the OP, even if I agree with all of them being enormous trolls. I've updated the confirmed nominee list (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168331.msg51932001#msg51932001), and these are the other nominees which are currently shy of the 2 vote point minimum:

rebal15 1.5
alevlaslo 1.5
JorgeStolfi 1
digaran 1
King Scorpio 1
notbatman 1
Quickseller 1
Anonymint 1
B1tUnl0ck3r 1
Phinnaeus Gage 1

This is fun, it feels like a raffle or one of micgoossens prediction games, but unfortunately the only prize to be won is shame.

https://i.imgur.com/locfder.jpg

How about winner gets a post limit per day. like 1 post per day , so they can selectively troll , and put extra thought into it.

I'd say the top 3 get to stay and post as usual but all other nominees get banned. We should raise the standards and allow only the best trolls to keep trolling.

ctfu reverse trolling


"If you ain't first.. You're last."
 
                                     Ricky Bobby

/r/buttcoin in a nutshell :)

I nominate Spoetnik and BitcoinEXpress even though he deleted many of his posts. They haven't posted since 2018 so I don't think they are going to feel validated.

Well just to be sure  batty  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=244104)gets nominated, here's my vote.
Because you know, any  troll (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=244104) who can sustain a completely nonsensical, ridiculous thread  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1009045.0)for 4 plus years, well, he takes the cake. (thread started on April Fools day which obviously is no coincidence and is sadly, one of the longest running threads on bitcointalk, so yeah, the general public who stumble on it just got their suspicions confirmed that bitcoiners are all lunatics)

...And as an added note, that pious delusional,  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg51768752#msg51768752) anti-vaxxer,  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1905551.0)evolution denying  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1917510.4160) idiot, BADecker, gets honorable mention....

Thnx.
I'll be watching. Sometimes I'm in need of a mood fix. ;D

Do you really want me to come out of retirement?


~BCX~

 ;D ;D ;D

^. 2011 account - yeah - please do. ;D

You have no idea what it is you are asking for.


~BCX~

Oh come on, I'm drooling now.
Unleash the beast. ;D

Ah good, I was wondering if anybody remembered Spoetnik. Definitely a Class A troll. I don't remember BitcoinEXpress being much of a troll, however he did make a couple coins crap their pants wondering if their chain was about to be split thanks to one of his infamous hashpower attacks...


Hey man, nice to see you. What you been up to these days?

Nominee list updated...

Being labeled a troll is kinda a mystery to me too LOL

I also nominate Spoetnik


~BCX~

... And with BCX coming out of retirement to make a nomination, that puts Spoetnik on the list with 2 nominations. We're up to a total of 10 now, that's pretty solid. Just about everyone who should be on there I can think of has 2 or more nominations now, with the exception of Anonymint, perhaps. There's a bunch of lesser trolls who are decent at it but likely not to be #1.

Piston Honda (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=391321) comes to mind, along with some of the BCH-cum-BSV warrior fanbois, hv_ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=711260), alevlaslo  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=392914)and ðºÞæ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=454255).

Among the more serious trolls are Khaos77 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2522969), who hates bitcoin with a passion, and franky1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65837), who beats on bitcoin so much only because he loves it...

Then you have the Meta and Reputation sockpuppet trolls which aren't even worth mentioning but they know who they are...

Well at least the thread provides a bit of entertainment. It also provides some guidelines as to who we can put on ignore.

I nominate notbatman and badecker

Can I replace one of my votes for notbatman too?

Instead of r0ach (default nominee) > notbatman.
Thank you. He is a fucking gem. ;D

Yeah they're both extremely trollish trolls. They are also both nominees already, so you're good.

Absolutely. I prefer to have an actual debate if my opponent is capable, but often they are not and resort to all kinds of illogical semantic games and personal attacks. At this point, yes I will absolutely troll them for my own amusement as well as to demonstrate their motivation of arguing from a position of lack of emotional control rather than logic. If you come at me with anything other than solid logic, one way or another I get my pound of flesh. Notice all of the people who are most adamant about me being a troll also very strongly disagree with my views in Politics & Society. I wonder why that is! Could it be all the people least capable of an actual debate? All of your nominations do give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside though knowing I truly did get inside your heads, so thank you for that.

Whoops, this is the kind of behavior Sir Edmund Hilari was warning us about... Still, I'm a bit surprised it took 4 pages before a bona fide troll actually showed up to comment.

As this post shows you're not really much of a troll, just an irritating off-topic spammer. Nominate someone.

Is this the part where you desperately try to sound smart by misspelling the name of some guy you want to reference without an actual specific reference like everyone should be familiar with everything he wrote?



Apparently you have problems with reading comprehension. My first motivation is not trolling. Anyways if you insist, I nominate myself.

You're already on the list of Confirmed Nominees, congratulations.

Undoubtedly has to be
1. notbatman
2. realr0ach

And whatever their alts are.

Well it's nice to see 5 twats trolls (among others) who I find most annoying on these boards are all nominated.
So I guess it's not just me....

Your lame ass can only troll noobs.

Smoothie, Vod and especially Nubbins slaughtered you on a daily basis in days past.

Some of us have been here long enough to remember.

After you got kicked off the DT, you were never the same.

Because I feel sorry for you I will use my second nomination and nominate Techshare

or better said, the Techshare of old, not the version that was served and pwnd by Nubbins over Woodcollector and the DT issue you whined about for months.

You should be honored that Badbear personally had you removed from DT.


~BCX~

 ;D ;D ;D



@nutildah
Techshare actually nominated me as a troll over four years ago!

This should complete my two needed nominations to get on the list LOL

https://i.imgur.com/sSZomiV.jpg

Since TECSHARE had already been nominated twice by the time you nominated him, I'll let you change your second nomination to yourself, if you'd like.

While you were gone, TS was actually back on DT1 for about 12 hours earlier this year, thanks to theymos having "decentralized" the trust system. For one reason or another (or both), he was quickly removed and is once again firmly excluded from DT1 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dtview).

Edit: I've taken the liberty of adding you to the poll (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168331.msg51932001#msg51932001), as I think that is your intention, and I can be bought and sold (but only for merits).

I've decided that my second nomination shall go to B1tUnl0ck3r (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=771606).

A worthy choice, and that gives him a 2nd nomination, so I've updated the list.

Here are the nominees with under 2 votes still:

rebal15 1.5
alevlaslo 1.5
JorgeStolfi 1

I got my vote on: The-One-Above-All (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2580400)

Guy is such an asshat he is the only one I have silenced on my feed... I only see his crap now via the quoted replies of his idiotic statements....   Im curious at the total nomination votes he ends up with... for the lolz.

I would probably give him all of my votes if applicable.

Cool story bro. BTW. Who the fuck is Techshare?

Thats a very reasonable nominate......

Damn I’m out of merit, but to bring Will ferrell in here and appropriate bring one of he’s lines, Nice!!!

I gotcha fam.

If there's such a thing as a good-nature troll, then I guess I might fit the bill. In that vain, I'm opting not to nominate myself but wouldn't mind being in contention.

I currently reserve my two votes. That said, feel free to PM me if you have a candidate you wish to see in the running and may need my vote(s).

Bruno

PS: This is the worst thread ever created so I'm reporting it to the mods. Now if you excuse me, I have some goats to fuck.

OK, well that's fair.


Sounds suspiciously like something a troll would say  :o


We currently have 4 votes for "Don't vote yet" and 7 votes for "Come back on 7/31"

Don't worry, I'll reset the votes before the actual voting begins so as not to skew the official results. Because I know y'all was worried.

I made your OP's image transparent ...


Here's the link:


Now change the pic, BITCH !!!

My bad, I sometimes misspell words like shit with shid, pussy with puzee, punked with punk'd and Tecshare with Techshare.

So you got booted off DT1 again LOL

Did you cry as bad this time as you did last time?

I find it absolutely amusing that people think of you as more of a troll than yours truly LOL

Maybe that's the reason for getting booted of DT1 twice.


~BCX~


 ;D ;D ;D


Fact of the day:
Leroy Fodor is Tecshare's alt when he is not on his meds.

Thanks.  No ones pointed out any of the professional trolls . TMAN  does some pretty outstanding work , I think he more or less gets frustrated at dumb questions and actions therefore he responds appropriately imo. TMAN I have an old saying for those folks , You can't fix stupid.
But if you guys look at BADecker's post history ....
We are dealing with a true champion.  Even the post that don't mention God are troll gold.
If the bitcointalk.org community makes a user based coin as talked about over in Collectibles he deserves the physical merit and validation of a troll coin.

Nah, I got booted off for exposing cons and control freaks like you :)
Don't you have some altcoin teams to extort?

That would be quite a feat seeing how Leroy lives in Philippines. TECSHARE sounds like someone who wouldn't last 12 hours there.

Although I would have nominated Leroy if he stayed active on the forum. Extraordinary scamtroll.

Poor stupid Techy.   Dishes it, can't take it.  lol


Doesn't make sense.  I've exposed a lot more cons than you.

I think you were excluded for trust abuse.  :/

Speaking of dishing it out and not being able to take it, I thought you were ignoring me. I guess you just couldn't restrain yourself. Maybe the 4th time you ignore me forever will manage it eh? The only one that needs meds is Vod here. Maybe you can report some one to the FBI or the ATF this time because they criticized you. All the circle jerking is just confirming how effective my efforts really were. Thanks again!

Maybe more or the same as me, but did you work with the FBI like I did doing blockchain forensics for them prior to a program being created to now perform said task?

I was.   I'm still not going to argue with inconsistent idiots like yourself, so don't try.  :)

Thank YOU for providing recent entertainment for us.  Hypocrisy is a funny trait of egomaniacs.

Daily troll bump.

[calls me hypocrite as he argues with me and as he says he won't argue with me and says he is still ignoring me]

Is that you, Leroy?  ;D ;D ;D

I'm with hilarious: the trolls don't deserve the attention.

However, since I'm bored, I want to vote for someone anyway: satoshi! He created the future of money, then left without a trace. Without satoshi, none if the other trolls would even exist! If that isn't a Master Troll action, I don't know what is :D

Can I vote as a Legendary Member? I can't easily access my account now, but I can confirm my vote from LoyceV in a few days if requested.

Sent from Austria.

dont forget actor tom,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1076771

I concurred with hilariousetc's post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168331.msg51933228#msg51933228).
But then OTOH, now that vod and techy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168331.msg51987147#msg51987147) have gotten into yet another pissing contest, (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5168331.msg51994716#msg51994716) I'm liking this thread more and more...I might even have to plant a desktop shortcut.

Hmm... How do I know your account wasn't hacked just so somebody could cast a vote for satoshi?

I do wonder if satoshi dealt with trolls in his day. Like, if ever he was trying to articulate one of the finer points of Proof of Work difficulty and somebody kept shitposting about their balls.


Had to check out who this guy was as I'd never heard of him, and I see that he's sporting an ISIS flag avatar... Edgy!

Sorry bud, newbs can't vote. If we were having a poll about Biggest Schizophrenics, he would definitely be on the list of nominees.

TBF:  I dont think the opinionated pissing contest types are technically trolls;  they just are the types that tend to rub each other off back and forth in a very phallic way.

Speakin' of phallic ...


Honest question: Would the above constitute a troll poll?

I thought about him when I saw this topic. But I don't think he is troll, more likely he is just mad.
BTW, I noticed just now that he have 2 separate profiles, this that you linked wasn't active recently, now he is using this account:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1076771

Thule is funny but not a troll. Same thing with digaran. They are glorified whiners.

Give my vote to satoshi.

Depends if someone builds a bridge over it...

I have more merit than you...

---

I am not sure why anyone is taking the OP seriously. I cannot see anything positive possibly coming out of this thread. In general, it is best to ignore trolls....unless there is some benefit to engaging with these trolls ::)

satoshi added! I'm leaving nominating open for a couple more hours in case if any huge revelations should surface.

Another eccentric troll I remembered was "Come from Above," but all their posts have been deleted. There are still posts in his From Above (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=300079) account... The guy was pretty psycho, may more have been legitimately crazy than a troll.

I have re-read the OP 3 times and couldn't find any requirement to take it seriously. In fact there is a good chance that the poll is being conducted with a tinge of humour.


Add my buddy Quickseller, he seems to be nominating himself:

Thats a negative ghost rider

Go on r0achie, you can do it! :P

Well that didn't work out as planned. I expressed that I wasn't interested with the intent of others nominating me. I is such a bad troll.  :'( :'( :'(

“Many a true word is spoken in jest”

**Spoiler Ahead**



Damn, I can't believe game-protect already has so many votes since he definitely isn't a troll.
On the other hand, giving him the label of "troll" might actually be beneficial for the forum.

I know nobody takes him seriously, but he does continue with his attempts of luring people to use his questionable services.

Game-protect is a troll. A few weeks ago he posted in multiple signature campaign threads and elsewhere, trying to get people fired who supported the flag against him. He also made several negative trust comments accusing many members of abusing children. (This has been removed.) If this wasn't "trolling," I have no idea what is.

No bones about it, you, sir, don't know what trolling is. This is trolling ...


And this is shark trolling ...

I hate that kind of trolling, because it's disgusting and I'm pretty sure unless someone has hard evidence that a member is engaged in something as awful as that, it's just a lie.  That's always been one of the drawbacks of bitcointalk's trust system, i.e., that you can neg someone and write whatever you want against them.  Unfortunately that's the only reason how someone can warn people about legitimate scammers without having been victims themselves.

I rarely see his posts, as I think he frequents the gambling section mostly and I have Gambling and all the subsections on ignore.  I've definitely seen some of the feedbacks he's left, and a lot of them are way out in left field.

Man, I thought Gleb had disappeared for good!  Then again, I've long suspected that he's an alt of cryptohunter or one of that gang--but I've got no proof.  I've always thought you were a real help to the forum and have been chagrined that your reputation got so sullied.

Trust me, bud, I'm not an alt of cryptohunter or anybody else. All my alts are known. I truly am an asset to the crypto community.

He also posts in his "5 BTC" Services thread as well as his flag thread in Reputation.

Unfortunately, it's another case of blatant shadiness and inflammatory disrespect... which was bordering on trolling.

That’s about as likely as brass monkeys flying out my ring piece.
I can quite assure you sir, Gleb is most certainly not a cryptohunter alt.

It appears that I screwed up and hit submit too soon. I only got to vote for one candidate. Oh well, RealR0ach definitely deserves my vote. Since I should have got a second vote, I'm going to do a write in candidate. I'm going to pick Quickseller.  8) Too bad that I am not able to retract the 26 merits that I gave to him. It's clear that all these merits he is receiving are swelling his head too much.

It looks like The-One-Above-All (how holier-than-thou) timed their thread purposefully. It's been garnering enough attention to turn the tides of the votes towards him, despite there being far better options.

Sometimes it can be hard to know if someone is trolling or mentally ill. I nominated badecker and notbatman but I'm really not sure if they are trolls or mentally handicapped. Same goes for game-protect, he really doesn't seem like a troll to me, just a butthurt crazy person.

So that douche canoe plagiarizes steals nutildah's idea for a thread.
Then silly phukking me, I actually clicked on it before realizing "oh shit, I just gave that juvenile pratt another thread view."
Not even gonna give it the pleasure of a snarky post to throw shade at it because obviously that's what it wants..attention.
Good lord, what a pathetic troll an asshat.

The-One-Above-All / cryptohunter gets the attention he deserves;    and I am thankful for this thread, so I can blacklist his ALT as well.  <3  He should be able to get both of my votes.


only a troll would provide legal advice/services with no legal background or actual firm knowledge of such....

I went with notbatman and bit unlocker.  Batman for the legendary flat earth thread and bit unlocker for his aweswome posts in politics and society.  Unlocker isn't really a troll but he has some very entertaining posts.

gameprotect is going head-to-head with roach and TOAA they are the best picks and deserve to win this poll. Does that mean that there are only two that will win in this contest just like how many votes to cast on?

I think there's only one winner as the poll title says - Biggest Troll - singular. Unless nutildah comes up with participation trophies and 8th place ribbons etc.

Volted.... When this voting will close? I'm hoping the one I voted will be the number 1 soon, I'm seeing this guy all the time in my favorite board to post.

notbatman is my vote

Guys, r0achie needs to win this. Don't shatter my beliefs. :P
I don't know his competitor, but we are talking about da r0ach ffs.

Dude...

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5170789.0

Size (of the walls of text) matters. Roach needs to step up his game if he wants to win this.

Dammit I need to change one of my votes now! ;D


This is why i will not add any to the list as they may feel vindicated. :D
We've been saying that about Roach forever but even raid doesn't seem to work. :)

cryptohunter is a major troll but I think NLC is the biggest troll of all time here. I think maybe not enough people voting were registered here when she was at her peak in 2014/15.

cryptohunter is really annoying but NLC was a major troll with a much higher intellect which made it mich more challenging to debate with her.

You have to not hit that "Show/Hide" no matter how tempting it is! :P

I saw little intellect. I did see plenty of anuses, penises and the endless repetition of cartoons.

You had to be there to believe it so I'm not surprised it doesn't register with those who weren't and almost all of it was deleted. It's impossible to express the sheer relentlessness. Never seen it anywhere else ever. Am pretty sure it was singlehandedly responsible for the newbie image ban.

Everyone gets pushed over the edge a time or two in their lives, but the way they respond to it is what really makes somebody a true troll. In a troll, part of their brain breaks in response to being pushed; their thought process becomes no longer encumbered by the desire to project semblances of sanity, and for some reason or another they just never recover.

We had a breakthrough with notbatman the other day (flat earth troll), should probably pursue this line of questioning as a psychotherapist would when trying to get a patient to come to terms with the root of their problem.

Well since the poll has already begun, i will mention other trolls who didn't make to the list

1. nomad13666 - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=105110 (Not active anymore)

A Flat Earther Troll who was always argued with vod in flat earth thread

2. jonald_fyookball - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=261027

He was BT-Unlimited/BCASH shiller together with franky1 when the time the blocksize controversy was very hot topic

3.franky1 -  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=65837

My bad, should have checked. Impressive!
Clearly he has a mental condition though. On the other hand, so has r0ach. :P

I mentioned him a few pages back. Dude is most certainly a troll, but he is also legit angry at bitcoin. Which I mean is fine, anyone is allowed to believe anything they choose, but why constantly get bitter about it on the Bitcoin Forum? He's also no fan of Ver or Wright, he just hates everybody, and everything.

Khaos77 is very similar. Just anti-bitcoin guys running amok, trash talking BTC whenever they get the chance.

Only just read this gentlemand, yeah it was absolutely relentless. I was a noob when ‘it’ first started. There was another relentless troll in 2014, I forget the name though. I thought at the time it was NLC’s alt. It was a guy who claimed the price would go incredibly low & he self admittedly sold everything.

I can’t for the life of me remember the username.

There was someone called 'Falllling' or a variation on that who spouted forever then it cunningly reappeared in disguise as 'Riiising. That demonstrates a quite chilling mastery of psyops.

I'm curious if either or both of them is the Real Raw Dog.

The sad part is, there is no troll`s in this troll poll, just morons that are actually just morons.

Quite the contrary;  I have seen mostly legitimate members sharing real information....  and the few ranting quips in between.

Besides; its meta we are talking here.

So, the competition is becoming hard in between The-One-Above-All / cryptohunter and realr0ach the great! The-One-Above-All / cryptohunter explores Meta, reputation and some other boards but realr0ach explores mostly in the WO. Imagine him in few more boards.

realr0ach is the real hero I think.

Wow, so much time going through so many profiles. I had no idea.
I guess since I tend to stay out of P&S and a lot of the places that they seem to exist I have missed a lot of it.
Except for the latest BS with game-protect I have been mostly troll free. I have know there are many trolls here, I did not see how bad / many there were.

Theymos / the other mods are WAYYYY more tolerant then I am. If it was up to me I would be mega clicking on the perma-ban button.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

-Dave

All Meta regulars are plotting against r0achie   :P

I know a lot of trolls here but not considered in the poll. Well, I think they're just self-proclaimed trolls in this community.
Done voting.

Can you make a poll for Arse-licker too?  :D

Looks like B1tUnl0ck3r just wiped all his posts going back to Feb 2019

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=771606;sa=showPosts;start=0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=771606;sa=showPosts;start=0)

Not sure why, does not really matter what the crazy people do, but it was entertaining reading in it's own special way.
Kind of like donuts, you know they are bad for you but you eat them anyway.
B1tUnl0ck3r you know it's crazy ramblings but you read them anyway.

Full disclosure: I didn't really know who he was / pay attention to his posts till I saw this thread the other day.

-Dave

Better archive them while the archiving is still good: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:iSHMwAHphpgJ:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php%3Faction%3Dprofile%3Bu%3D771606%3Bsa%3DshowPosts%3Bstart%3D980+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

My vote gone for game-protect and he needs to win this. Give him some honer LOL

Very possible but I have no idea about any of them. In fact why would anyone lick others arse :-P

The top 3 contenders certainly are putting up a good fight for the #1 spot with only a week to go until poll closing. Here's some troll sports commentary:

We have game-protect, tagging scores of accounts with enough red paint to make all the bloods in Los Angeles County jealous.

We have realr0ach, shitposting hatred against the jews at least 10 times a day in the WO thread, somehow finding a way to blame them for things like the bitcoin halving.

Then we have the-one-whose-name-shall-not-be-mentioned, who concocted the brilliant maneuver of launching their own counter-poll, in a real demonstration of how not to be outdone in the trolling department.

I gotta say folks, notcryptohunter is digging deep within themselves to pull off a V in this contest. Clearly they are laser-focused on what they are doing here, and that demonstrates a discipline that most other trolls just do not have.

Roach was giving CH a run for their money in the first half, but is really gonna have to step it up now and start shitposting about ethnic and religious minorities in other threads and sections of the forum if they want to walk away from this with the win. It's all about zone coverage here, which is something roach has certainly been lacking through this contest so far.

And now Brian, back to you in the studio...

Thank you Mr.scam facilitator.

So the question still stands in front of our brain-dead audience!! Who is going to win?

Welcome, I am your host Dickhead Brian, on this edition we will analyze the situation of this fuckery and how r0achie fell behind?  for this debate, Joining me in the studio our specialist Mr. Cumguzzler and special guest SuChmo(r)oN. Also we have DANGEROUS Dr. wormtongue on the phone line.

Stay tuned losers.

But first, after the break, the results of our live-in-studio smallest horse competition ...

Mr. Cumguzzler here (wipes mouth from copious amounts of Lauda’s semen) -

‘CH seems to have an unassailable lead at the moment with just over a week left of voting. game-protect  & r0ach are in there with a solid fight on for second place. They’ll need to ramp up their trolling if they wants to gain some votes from people who are yet to vote. It looks like CH has the championship in the bag but who knows what could happen’.

Now who wants to give me some more cum to guzzle, DT1 & DT2 only invitation.

I would definitely guzzle hers ^^

Just a friendly reminder, there is less than 1 week to go!

I know its dragged on for a while but I guess I wanted to give everyone a chance to vote.

So, if you haven't voted yet, vote now, or forever hold your nuts!

In the spirit of trollin' a trollin' thread ...

That's very interesting.
That lunatic has skeletons in the closet. So understandably, he is probably getting paranoid.

Towelie was a troll indeed, but also a great role model. Just bursting with positivity.

NEWS FLASH: game-protect is now within 1 vote of realr0ach for the 2nd place award!

I'm thinking everybody nominated will at least get a participation trophy, something along the lines of this:

https://pics.me.me/golden-turd-award-who-deserves-this-the-most-24999125.png

I can't believe diagaran didn't receive a nomination. I like a troll that can make people laugh, even TMAN avoided the list.

For shit sake!!

You are not allowed to dox roachie here at public. On top of that, you are going to distribute his portrait to incels?

Come on, have some diarrhea. at least blur his face.

Can't I vote like, .... 13 times for r0achie?
Huge fan.
This cannot be  coincidence:

https://i.imgur.com/ncYmhCV.png

Only 2 more days to go! Get your votes in now!!

You know what? We totally forgot about gembitz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=761729).

He's really only a medium energy troll, and there's no way he would ever win the poll, but its funny how he slipped all of our collective minds. He goes around trolling just about every major coin under the sun while promoting his almost non-existent Bitcoin Instant, ending every comment with his signature catch phrase, "weeeee!"

Here's what he had to say in a negative trust left for Vitalik Buterin:

I think the current results speak for themselves TBH....

TOAA takes the cake any day of the week... just look at any one of the pages of his history....

Just saw Spoetnik being added to the list. Well, definitely my vote goes for him. If you have been here for more than 4 years you will probably vote for him because of his posts were on a whole different level. You're probably a legendary member if you voted for Spoetnik.

I had quite a few back-and-forths with Spoetnik back in the day. Wonder what happened to him. He was humorous when he wasn't just unleashing vile bilge. Sometimes he could be a bit too wordy for my tastes -- seems to be a common theme among our trolliest of trolls. I didn't vote for him because there's a few better contenders more worthy of my vote.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Spoetnik directly on the phone a couple years ago.

Meh, biggest troll on a forum is like the biggest shit in the community toilet.

Try being the biggest troll on the stage of world leaders, now that's pressure!

Trying to buy a democratic country that is not for sale (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/21/us/politics/trump-greenland-prime-minister.html) or  building an island in disputed territory  (https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/south-china-sea-us-military-bases-islands-spratly-paracel-us-tension-defence-a8719556.html) seems to work well.

I never officially crowned anybody as the victor, but now is as good a time as any to put the troll tiara on The-One-Above-All... How's that for a troll user name, eh? "The One Above All"... The epitome of humility right there...

Enjoy your crown, cryptohunter:

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcQOyryob_JLCH1Tkh3MMoDHhhBkS3tMfn1CRfh9ErTAJ5mYoEJ6

I apologize for not announcing the victor earlier, but we just found a couple of boxes of ballots that went missing for a few months, plus there were irregularities in our electronic voting machine... people would press "The-One-Above-All" and end up somehow voting for "Halliburton", it was a real mess.

Anyway, thanks to all who participated, and thanks to the nominees for... well actually thanks for nothing, you should all go re-evaluate your "contributions" to the forum.

I hope you enjoyed this thread (that effectively ended 4 months ago). Happy 10th Anniversary and Merry Christmas!
