Different Kinds of Trolls.

Before you become a full fledged troll, you will have to know what kinds there are. This list isn't complete, as there are many kinds of trolls. This is just for a quick overview, so you don't have to read this part. It is recommended you be creative as a troll, so you can try different ways.

These are the most common types of trolls, and also possibly one of the simplest. Behavior includes: Blanking Pages, Replacing Content with Profanity, or Nonsense, and more. This is the recommended choice for beginners.

Impersonators

These Trolls have only recently started to pop up, so they are more frequent right now. These trolls introduce them self as a famous celebrity, or a cartoon character. Usually a few days before trolling, they act like a productive user, and make at least one fanstuff. Then, they strike. And due to their trustfulness, It's likely that they'll only be blocked for a short time, and Unblocked again, if blocked again. And when they do get blocked, they'll always be likely to come back.

Page-Movers

These trolls have a different method than others. They usually move peoples Fanstuff, or Userpages, into a different page, usually one with either profanity, or nonsense. Either is recommended for a striving Page-Mover Troll.

Sock-Puppets

These trolls, are really just previous blocked trolls. They are multiple accounts used by the normal trolls. Usually with a different name. These trolls are respected in the troll community, as they usually never go for good.

Bots

One of the most rare kinds of trolls. These are used by one person only, most of the time, using a bot program to Troll countless pages all at once. These are really respected trolls, due to the difficulty to revert.
