Trolling a chatroom

Post Reply New Topic

So, my university has this chatroom built into their filesharing network that doesn't actually exist, and there is this troll on their that harasses every female user through pm. I decided I would do some trolling of my own to try and get evidence to perma ban him, so I created this persona of a half Chinese half white NT female to bait him with, and I got banned for trolling, as I have done similar things trolling there before, and the mods can tell who's who based on IP. Anyways, I found that when imitating another persona I can actually come off as being pretty NT. It wasn't until I had repeated the same sentence 3 times that one of the mods thought to look at my IP, assuming it was me, and then ban me for trolling. Why is it that when I have good intentions, I get kicked. Fortunatly I have ways around their bans, and I explained to the mod what I was doing, he seemed a little more understanding, but I didn't catch the end because I logged. Anyways, point is I can actually imitate an NT online well enough to be thought of as one. IRL, I would have to try 10x harder, but I could probably come off as an odd NT rather than AS. Problem is the guise is so hard to keep up that I can pnly do it for so long.

I am flabbergasted you tell me that, Padium! Absolutely. It is like you are going into a bank and brag on how you held up other banks and how good you are at it . .

All I can say is LOL.

Riiiight. That is exactly what it's like.
I've learned how to change my IP addy so I can get back into sites I've been banned from. And for the record, there is nothing wrong with a little impersonation. I have a dual identity on this site I'd wager no one can figure out.

It isn't one of the mods.

Tell me whether I've overshot the entire point of this thread or not.

No, I'm definately not a "mod". In fact, I'd wager to say the mods here aren't very fond of me given my "colorful" history.

I think it's a bad idea to go after a troll by trolling yourself. If your having a problem you should tell a moderator, or someone in control of the chatroom or forum. I've seen loads of trolls, and it always seems to backfire for them.

The mods on this chatroom want proof of his trolling, so I am trying to bait him into starting his perverse string of pms with me, and then I will forward that to a mod. My ban was only a 1 hour ban, and now I am just trying to think of a new persona to do this with.

Can't change my IP, the university has my connection set to a static IP, each room has its own unique IP. My ban is done now anyways.

I think my point actually was that I have found I can play the role of an NT by creating this persona, and acting as if this person is me. However, due to the large amount of concious override needed to supress the AS in me, it is way to f***** draining to actually do this for long periods of time without a slip. It takes almost all of my energy to supress the AS traits enough to be looked at as NT if even for a short while, and it would not fool someone who is trained to look for signs of AS in people, as in my doctor that diagnosed me would still be able to see it in me as he could probably pick out my largely supressed stimming, and other supressed traits. I can pull it off for a short period of time by creating a personality from the ground up, doing this involves creating a base of tendancies (do I ask a lot of questions or make a lot of assumptions, do I know a lot about this thing, or very little), then go into interests (what are 2 things I am really interested in, what are 4 things I am generally interested in, and what are 6 things I have enough interest in to talk about, then do the research to know enough about each category to make it look right), what is my occupation and research to make it check out, what kind of people do I like to be around, am I a typical computer user, or a tech, what have I studied or am I studying in school... and so on. Problem with this is it is not who I am and requires me to keep up a constant act, and that act is what allows me to supress my normal AS tendancies. It is not practical to do this in real life simply because people I am around would be able to figure out soon enough that I am not who I claim to be, where as online I can keep it all under one alias that has no association with me as a person. The other reason it is not practical to do this in real life is that it requires so much energy to keep up a constant guise, where as online if I am getting worn down by my guise, I can just walk away from the computer and rest.

I would never do that here as I simply don't have any reason to, and I prefer to be accepted for who I am.

I do plan on using this method of trolling to try and adapt more to the NT world, but I know that I will never perfectly fit in, the hopes is to use it to be able to do more things on their level and be able to integrate better with most people. I don't want eye contact to make my eyes hurt, I don't want to feel so uncomfortable talking with other people, so by doing this I may be able to better deal with my AS and not need to consciously think to supress it. I am starting online to try and get conversation down a bit better.

Also, I do plan on catching this troll on the chat room I use and getting him permabanned for sexually harassing females there, as I can't stand someone who does that. He is doing it through private message, which the mods can't see. I think the mods there are fine with me doing that, as everyone at the school has 2 IPs total, and when I got banned, I came on my second IP and talked to the mod, and found that I was unbanned on the other IP shortly after, which was long before my ban would have been done.
