Troll filter needed

[lovecraft68]

Yes, a little originality can lift one out of the troll category.

It's like an alpha troll.

 

[SydneyBlake]

Yep, I misread the OP. Sorry 'bout that.

Don't let it happen again.

 

[LaRascasse]

Would it be too crass if I actually responded to the trolls?

Say something like this-

@Anonymous1: I have heard of something called dialogue, but have you heard of something called "monologue"? Since, you are unlikely to hear of it inside your ass, kindly get your head out of there and look up what it means. Afterwards, you are welcome to pop your head right back in.

@Anonymous2: I am sorry that you were dropped as a child and have since had troubles using more than 1% of your grey matter at a time and am truly sorry that my story did not give you enough stroke-time. My guess would be that your hand was already in pulling pose even before the page loaded.

LOL!

You can do that, too, though something tells me the same people don't come back to see whether or not you've responded. They're busy trolling the next guy. It might, however, encourage a new troll. Your call.

I've never gotten an outright 'trollism' (I believe it's because I write in gay male, the middle-aged women tend to be more polite)

But one or two times, I've gotten accusations of plagiarism, and I do respond to those. I don't just delete them, because that means I have something to hide. And I don't just spout hate, because that puts me on the same level. Also, it looks very childish.

If you have a rational argument for a troll, give it to them, if not, delete them.

And just out of curiosity... does this story resemble the move 'The Crazies' in any way shape or form?

I thought not

 

[Boxlicker101]

I wouldn't call any of the PC trolling. They were all legit criticisms, even though two of them were rather harsh. (Stinking in the Rain and Total Garbage) Nobody said it was a pile of shit or threatened to castrate you with a dull knife. They gave valid criticisms, whether another reader would agree with them or not.

 

[sr71plt]

Oh, I wouldn't count on it not happening again.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Maybe thicker skin is needed.

Over the top responses are threats of violence and slanderous assertions of plagarism etc that arent true. Or adhominem attacks. YOUR STORY SUX is different from YOU SUCK. Maybe your story does suck, most do.

“Actors yearn for the perfect director, athletes for the perfect coach, priests for the perfect pope, presidents for the perfect historian. Writers hunger for the perfect reviewer.

“But this is an imperfect world, as actors, athletes, priests and presidents soon discover. Writers have known this from the day they read their first review.”

I wouldn't, I believe some come back to see if you left or erased their remarks(which is why I always leave mine, shows them I don't care)

If you respond they will respond. Next thing you know, your story has 20 comments, but its you arguing with your trolls.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

You gotta wonder how many AH sissies would approve of this:

In Schubville today the high school suspended a girl, and the police arrested her for wishing bad karma on a fellow student. The fellow student keyed the girls car (ignored by school and police). The girl then posted the karma comment on FACEBOOK. The sheriff says that wishing bad karma is stalking.

Well I would say that the girl has a freedom of speech suit and should go to the local Aclu.

I would also tell her to go to the local news station-up in RI there is a "turn to ten" segment that lives on stories of the police and government screwing people- and get some publicity.

Of course to me the way she should have solved it would be to keep her mouth shut, and slash the bitches tires. An eye for an eye gets more respect than talking any day.

Arresting people for trifles inflates the crime stats and its safer than real police work. Our sheriff is hot for stalking folks who buy garden supplies and use too much electricity.

Then maybe your hick sheriff should be the one whose tires get slashed, windows get broken, and dog gets poisoned. Teach him to watch out for real crime. As a former city punk, I love goober law enforcement officials like that.

Youre just an animal.

Cop work isnt about busting skulls today. Its about monitoring FACEBOOK and cams and mailing people tickets.

 

[PayDay]

Comments are 50/50 trash/over the top

http://www.literotica.com/s/walking-in-the-rain-1

As you can see there are some unflattering anonymous comments. I would request one of the experienced heads to tell me which are worthwhile suggestions and which are bits of trolling. I fucking hate anonymous commentators!!

Wait until one of them reads another story you have written, causing them to anger enough so that they in turn vote bomb all of your other stories.

Which other story? Why?

After my first post in LW, I was stunned with some of the comments. I've replied to a few, allowed other commentors do the replying for me (warms my heart to see another reader defending my story, that's really cool!), and, in one case, the comments I received inspired a sequel to a story where I never intended to write a sequel. And, in many regards, I think the sequel is better than the original story. (The original story was http://www.literotica.com/s/doing-it-for-you if anyone cares.)

Now, with a baker's dozen of stories posted on this site, I'm falling in line with the other authors. Whatever. I delete the few that are off topic and truly offensive and leave the rest for prosperity.

Remember, the people who review fiction in Literotica are not trying to be fair and some are just showing that they have a right to say anything they wish.

There are also more than a few who are blatantly uneducated; no matter that they may have a college degree. They are fundamentally angry people. Forget them for your own peace of mind.

For those who are truly offensive, I too would delete but I would leave the rest to posterity rather than prosperity as you wrote.

I agree with this, except I would like to add the word Bitter to your word of angry. Apparently it is the authors fault these people's lives suck.

No one ever deletes flattery.

You're absolutely right.

That's why I make it a point to leave up negative remarks that I get, that way people at least know I can take the bad with the good.

I ahve a vision board at home and I post some of my feedback there. I have some very good ones I look at when I need a little motivation. I also have some negative ones (that were constructive) that I look at so I don't get full of myself.

For me the challenge is to recognize when the results are good and bad. When YOU know what you got other opinions dont matter. Opinions matter when YOU dont know.

I find ^^^^ that interesting. I'll admit, feedback is like applause and the performer in me digs that sound. It's funny how easy it is for me to write off the negative feedback as coming from a bunch of uneducated pinheads while I accept the positive feedback as being delivered by obviously more intelligent readers, LOL.

Still, in the back of my mind, this is a free site and I'm giving away my talents for free.... crap, guess I need to start a new thread... probably one done before... why do we give it away for free?

You answered your own question in your second sentence.

That and most writers want to be hookers and get paid but the market keeps them down to the slut level.

Dude, before I commented, I read a couple of your stories and the reason you are giving it away for free is because nobody would pay for them. They weren't terrible mind you, but they weren't marketable either, ya know?


As for ratings and positive/negative comments from a READER ONLY's standpoint: the votes are your applause. Positive comments are like a standing ovation and negative ones are throwing rotten fruit at you. I will politely clap for most performances, but rarely will I be arsed enough to comment either way. Most of the time I wasn't moved enough to give a shit. When I am I'd expect you to listen. (and of course we all know there ARE asshats that just love to troll and expound their ignorance but those are always easy to identify).

BTW, as long as I'm ranting at writers , stop your bitching about not getting all 5's on every one of your stories. Frankly, most of the stuff here rates a 2 or 3 at best, so be thankful for your 3's and 4's.

Bottom line of this whole rant, I guess, is that I believe the quality of the average Lit reader is superior to the average Lit writer. That only makes sense, in my case anyways, cuz I've read thousands of stories and, at best, you as a writer have written a few dozen.
