I noticed a lot of you are dealing with a troll. I've been dealing with them since the internet began and they were called "flamers" and have an incredibly successful track record with shredding them to pieces, so I thought I'd give some advice.

The best idea for you is to ignore them.

Completely and utterly. Don't go onto their page and rant and ask what's wrong with them. Don't comment on their characters, don't even post an angry exclamation when your page is trolled. Contac the admin and politely ask for advice and how to restore the page. Don't even bother saying why or getting angry. look at it as niothing more than a minor, insignifigant glitch, like a picture lining up int he wrong spot, becasue a minor, insignifigant glitch is all they are. The admin will be on it as soon as they see it.

The cardinal rules is- DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR EXISTANCE. They want validation. They're bored, and lame. They're a pathetic weak little insignifigant snot who can't get validation and attention via any othe rmeans. It means they're talentless, so they get thir panties all wet by trolling. As SOON as you aknowledge their existance, you're contributing to the trolling. So, no matter how angry you are, pretend they don't exist. That will do more damage than anything else. If you ignore them, they won't come back after they're banned. If you acknowledge them, they'll use a school computer and try again because they know they get a rise here.

Yes, there are ways to deal with them head on. Anyone who follows my Deviant art might have seen me disassemble a few trolls. I do this because I know how, please, for the love of fairytales, DO NOT try it yourself. It's an artform, and you can end up egging them on if you do it wrong. Just go with the ignoring, trust me, it will work.
