#1 Trolls and Shills are often seen Bloviating.
Bloviate: to talk at length, especially in an inflated or in an empty way.
Add your troll-spotting techniques below. Who are the most notorious trolls? And how successful do you think they actually are in affecting sentiment or influencing the direction of trades?
You forgot to add: Low post count with a history of inflammatory or useless posts that add nothing to the discussion at hand. Also, a great way to filter is by childish or sophomoric nick's . ;-)
They don't affect me in the slightest. I usually ignore them unless they are so blatantly trolling they are comical and good for a chuckle.
