You wouldn't believe how quickly they go away if you block them and delete the comment without repling.

But reply once and they'll never leave you be...

hahaha oh mrtommygunwhite that tickled me.

thanks friz, i think ive learnt now.

It depends on what kind of mood I'm in and what they say. Sometimes I just delete their BS and move on. I don't even bother to block them. They probably wont come back. Sometimes even when you respond they don't come back.

At any rate, don't let them bother you. They're just morons that have nothing better to do with their time than act big on the internet. If you have people that like watching your videos focus on them and don't worry about the haters.

I troll the trolls with love, logic and grammar. They can't resist responding and get very mad when their aweful comments that make no sense don't work. I make them rage, plus it makes them view the video again every time the comment use trolls to your advantage.

Yes not responding at all is what I think is best, responding to trolls has got to be one of the most counter productive things I have ever tried.

Otherwise it's all too easy to just end up wasting your time on some random idiot, remember, "don't feed the troll"

I refuse to block anyone. Out-smarting them is much more fun.

I always find the best way to deal with them is to agree with everything they say and to ask them questions and to appear genuinely interested in their responses.
Also be thoroughly nice to them and don't let you standards of good manners lax because of them

Fuck off dickhead.

Or

Hmm upon reflection you may be right. Thanks for pointing that out to me I shall look into some training so my riding is better. Maybe you train people as your skills are obviously far superior to mine, though you wouldn't take me as I expect you're far too busy training the current crop of MotoGP riders. When a space becomes available please let me know so I can learn from the best.

Oh really, Mr Trollington? I always welcome feedback, how much experience do you have, could you give me some tips? Maybe we could meet up for a drink and a chat? I know a lovely little bar in Brighton with a very friendly atmosphere! And perhaps after that we could take a stroll along the sea-front, get fish and chips and go back to mine for a night cap ... see where that takes us?!

Much love

I would delete the comment and get on with my day.

Hey, thanks for the comment, yeah, I haven't had this bike for all that long, still getting used to it, thanks for pointing it out, tell me what you think I did wrong and be sure to watch the next few videos to see if I get it right

 

[pizzaonaninja]

Do not feed ye trolls!

Trolls WANT you to get angry or upset about what they wrote, or they were having a bad day and needed someone to take it out on. If I respond at all to a trolls comment, I have found that being nice usually diffuses the trolls attempt and they will leave, be nice back, or continue being a jerk. I don't usually delete a comment I let it stay so everyone can see who the d-bag is forever.

If I decide to respond at all, a simple, "Thanks for watching my video and commenting, check out my other videos maybe you'll find one that suits your taste better." this way you are the good guy, he is the dick, and you might get a few more views on your other videos as well.

Don't let the comment bombs blow you up and the trolls will eventually stop throwing them when they realize they are having no effect.

Ignore them without commenting, but call them out on their stupidity in blogs

I feed trolls and enjoy it. But what I do is simply send back a smiley face, no matter what they say in response. Racism, insults, death threats, anything. Don't know why but it's funny to me.

I simply respond with : )

Por ejemplo:

Troll: OMG YOU FKING SUCK HAHAHA
Me: : )
Troll: Lol, yeah great comeback
Me: : )
Troll: What are you like 8, fking retard
Me: : )

But the best way to defeat trolls I believe, is to be so good to your community, that they fight the trolls for you in your honor.
