A Call For Action!

[James A. A. Joyce]

My dear trolling friends, acquaintances, those I have never heard of, those I never hear of and those I shall never hear of, we, both the Slashdot community, super-Slashdot community and the trolling subcommunity are facing a mass crisis upon all levels. Crapflooders, article text trolls, and representatives of what few organisations there are are currently scattered and weak, possessing none of the puissance necessary to overturn the vast heap of articles and book reviews. All of the teeming subcultures of Slashdot and the websites and ideals it represents or provided the prototype for are being shredded and ripped apart in the grinder of commercialisation, corporation and the valuing of technology over humanity. Our attempts to provoke discussion, highlight the folly and foolishness of editors or simply to berate and irritate others being pulled down below the surface of lackadaisical karma whores, slashbots and other useless automata, grist for the propaganda mills of "Taco" and his crew. Only occasionally do the great (or simply repetitive) trolls rupture the calm, mildly bubbling surface of the Slashdot crew and cohorts' discussions. What was once orgiastic, vivacious, vibrant, active and edgy is now limp, lifeless, listless, passive and slack. All but a few ragtag, fleeting, fly-by-night trolling associations have been massacred or left for better pastures, and those which remain are collapsing and tumbling into the totality of disarray. To quote the low-cultural yet astonishingly accurate Sexual Asspussy, "TEH NEW AEG OF TROOLING HAS COME AND GONE". In a cruel twist of humour poignantly illustrating our shortsightedness, this selfproduced catastrophic failure has been predicted since 2002. We have the tools to resolve the situation, but lack the motivation, with those who can do something content to fight amongst themselves in ineffectual pigpens such as trolltalk or Geekizoid.

Old generations of provocateurs are falling into disrepair and fading out, with classic trolls dropping from the face of the World Wide Web for the cosmopolitan relic known as Usenet or, worse still, setting up unsuccessful websites which have always degenerated into mere talking shops, inconsequential, signifying nothing and running at deficit for a fleeting few moons before the inability to afford bandwidth runs, purges the last remnant from the consciousness of the mainstream. Ancient faithfuls such as Adequacy have been reduced to flitting HTTP errors, a ghostly echoing shadow and reminder of our own inability to fix this shambolic state of affairs.

The new are no better, incompetent, howling; they tend to be more bombastic but derivative and reiterative and so lose one's interest as opposed to the subtle classics. The gentle art of producing attractive and fragile yet incendiary comments has been lost and buried in a tidal flash flood of advertisements for nascent trolling groups, ASCII 'art', and other postprepostmodern neo-Dadaist detritus. The production of the "slashflood" script merely indicates that the mechanisation and industrialisation of trolling is draining the emotion and spirit of itself. Though the automation of trolling is a thoroughly understandable response against the face of the seemingly otherwise unsurmountable automated filters, barriers, sinks and guards of Slashcode, it has not proven to be a solution; not even a paltry one in one hundred stories is successfully crapflooded to the point of dozens of comments, and the reduced manularity of Perl scripts as opposed to the Ctrl-R/F5 key combo has given all of us an excuse to forget the craft of omnipollent inflammatory rhetoric.

This excuse has become so stubbornly entrenched in troll subculture that it may not be cleansed from the minds of some, but we must make an effort! Otherwise, we will cease to be able to post without fear of modbombing due to dull, obvious and tired material! Therefore, it is vital for the continued wellbeing of the profession of -1 Flamebaiters and +4 Insightfuls alike that we continue to push the envelope
