I think that word scammer is much more used in forum than a word troll and that means it is a much bigger problem in general.

If we take a look at stats in last few years we can see that usage of that word is also declining compared to year 2020, 2019 and especially 2018.

Year 2018 has 23,431 mentioning of word scammer.
Year 2019 has 16,982 mentioning of word scammer.
Year 2020 has 14,052 mentioning of word scammer.
Year 2021 has   5,384 mentioning so far and we only have 3 months left in this year... does it mean there is a less scam and scammers in forum?
No, it just means that people are using that word less than before, maybe they moved more to social media and telegram, and same thing could be said for trolls... twitter is perfect breeding ground for them.

This is the list of top 50 members who mentioned word scammer in 2021:

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

-snip-
Nice guess its on a steady decrease since 2019 althought i wonder what happened in 2018 that caused this increase usage of that word, shit was wild back then i suppose.


At that time especially in 2017 when the forum was flooded with new users, "troll" and "shitpost" were words that were used a lot to increase user awareness not to or stop being one of them. The reduction in the number of mentions does not mean this effort is successful. Some users have grown tired of this behavior and prefer to press the "report" or "ignore" button instead of saying the words again.

However, anyone who uses those words frequently is the forum's most valuable contributor.  Grin

~~~
Although, forum activity seems to be less so than before, at least in the main Bitcoin sections, and we've lost a lot of the users that seemed to bring the trolls out in force. ~~~
Alright, let's take a look at the evolution of the number of post and active users on bitcoin discussion board over the years since the merit system was implemented. This is just to know the active user base there and the number of post made, the data may not be accurate as it is deleted and moved to another board by moderators or users. As usual, I'll also use ninjastic.space to find out. Here's the chart.


This symbol [*] because the number of users exceeds the capacity of the site's data limit, the number will only appear 10K (maximum). But I believe the number can exceed 12K-15K users.

Since there is constant decrease of forum activity, its kinda logical to assume that number of scammers will decrease too, as they have less potential victims, and as you said they are moving onto more "suitable" platforms like Telegram.

Its pretty much the same situation in scam accusation board which is way less active this year than it was in 2020. Unless there are less scam busters this yeas and that's the cause of sharp decline in the amount of posts. (I know I am way less active on that front than I was before).

Did you notice that forum have fewer trolls in 2021?

I'm not sure, I wouldnt claim to be the sharpest tool in the box, so I think I have not
focussed on trolling until @OgNasty posted this yesterday in the collectibles board

This is a rather easy question to answer. This forum is full of trolls and there is no moderation of any kind stopping them from attacking OGs with lies and teaming up to chase them from these forums. It happens time and again, yet people still say nothing when this behavior is occurring and don’t even take issue with other members including trolls in their trust network. Ask yourself if you have excluded Vod from your trust network yet? Why not? What about the people that include him in their trust network? This obvious lack of judgement is fine for them to be in DT right? Look at my trust ratings if you don’t understand why OGs flee this place as soon as they reach a place of financial freedom. I just wonder why people keep asking this question and then do nothing to try and correct the problem when you have an OG telling you exactly what the problem is and it’s blatantly obvious…  My question to the community is, do we want OGs to stick around here? If so, do we want to start showing them the respect they deserve and defending them from lying trolls or do you expect people like myself to continue spending years of their time coming here to refute one lie after another in an endless string of misinformation attacks that sabotage projects regardless of how much evidence and publicly documented facts are presented proving otherwise. That’s where the road to being an OG ends for most… I’ve certainly seen first hand why most choose to leave instead. Stick around long enough and see some personal success, you will to.

TL;DR

Trolls are more highly regarded here then OGs.

Can we get a list of these Trolls?
I'm sure if the names were posted I would have several light bulb moments.

Based on my finding above, have you really noticed that in less than 3 years the trolls on this forum have decreased significantly?
Eventually they get tired at some point.

Zero quotes just the amount of time you used the word "troll" Smiley around here on Meta, I simply filtered your profile from 2016 since I couldn't go any further, and I saw you used the term 34 times between then and now.

I'm happy with all the answers and some questions on the idea from this thread. I have send merit to some of you "probably not commensurate with your excellent answer", but I'm just trying to appreciate it. I know you might put them on your "~" list or ignore all their post or report them to a moderator instead of having to feed them. Obviously for this way can reduce troll activity indirectly because they don't get much attention from forum users.

Actually I'd really like to keep this thread open longer to accommodate more suggestions, but I don't think this thread is important enough because it's just a reminder that the trolls aren't going away but their activity has decreased. Thanks and the thread is closed now.
