How to deal with trolls
I can't help but defend the people I care about (obviously not in a stupid way). If they call BVB worthless, I am going to blow off about how can someone who saved thousands of lives and helped us get through abuse and bullying be so worthless?
@AverlinAngelRose
Because by doing that you're playing their game, and they get a kick out of pissing people off, if you feed trolls they'll keep coming back and get worse, but if you ignore them then they'll get bored eventually. So would you rather spend god knows how long going round in circles getting more and more pissed off or ignore it and they stop? I know which one I'd do. And I never said anything about worthlessness, they might yes but everyone is entitled to their own opinion on things, which will be different to yours, but doesn't mean that you have to fight them on it.
@andyspurdygirl
Which is why they stay and get worse
@chipmunkcalling
Iv'e handled trolls before, they eventually realize how stupid they sound and block me, or give up trying to get me to "realize" of bad the music I listen to is (or whatever) and ignore me. I don't always fight back back on trolls, but I don't really much like ignoring them either. That doesn't mean they changed though.
I know you didn't say anything about worthlessness, I just using that as an example.
I've noticed a trend. This is around the time that they came last year. Just ignore them as best as possible. They're trying to get attention. Dont give it to them. If you notice a mean comment in a story, give it a little extra love. Remember we are all human and have emotions. Even the trolls. So be nice, take the high road. Be the better person.
Just ignore them. They come onto the site every few months for attention. If you give it to them they will stay, if you ignore them they will leave. So if you want to answer the troll try to be civil with them. Try to just say "That is your opinion, and everyone has one. I don't agree with you, but others might."
If you want to get more in depth, all I can say is just try not to make yourself seem whiny. Then they win. But I would recommended staying out of it, or trying to be civil. Or one other way is to disagree with what the person says, but come back with a responible response. Don't come back with "They aren't Emo faggots! You are! Now leave us alone you meany." Just saying, you will make a fool out of yourself if you do that last one.
Good point. The more educated and strong your response is, and they can't refute it, the more power they lose. They want power. Dont give it to them and you hold power. Best thing to do is ignore it. They'll keep going. If we all ignore it, they'll move on. I know you want to defend the band. They can do it them selves. This person is like people in the crowd who flip the band off but never do anything. They got their '15 minutes of fame'. The more we talk about it the more popular they get
Yep, exactly! If you can come back with an educated and thought out response they won't have anything to say back. Yeah, they are grown men. They can protect themselves. Not that they do it good, but they can. Lol
They kind of made fools of themselves in Vancouver, but still they can stand up for themselves.
Yeah, @BVBsucks is getting fame, because we are talking about him/her. So I say we just stop talking about it and move on like nothing happened. Lol
@Mrs. Rocker69
Vancouver was something i cant quite explain. It happened, its not their finest hour, but it doesn't define them. We all get pissed and sometimes, our anger just overrides our rational and calmer side.
what troll ;)
I'm not "trolling". If I was trolling I'd just say they're flat out fucktards, but I give reasons why. There is a little YouTube community where we dish out the worst fucking bands ever and take the piss out on their fans. The funniest ones are Avenged Sevenfold and Shitknot fans. We give valid arguments and all their dumbass fans can say is "Ferk off I am gna kill u D:" it's honestly hilarious how they can't even fight back. Guess because they're weak emo cunts. The BVB community is different. I'm not gonna change my opinion about BVB. In my opinion they're a shit stain on Metal. Not only that, but they are completely generic and have no musical talent yet still remain popular, yet bands like "Red" are really good but aren't popular.
@BVBsucks
Oh. Okay. I tried to watch your Youtube video but it wouldn't let me. Slipknot fans and A7x fans are very whiny about their band! Lol
But you did present valid arguments, that's why I can't complain. And I personally would not and will not call BVB metal, they are Hard Rock.
Also, I truthfully think Red is a great band that deserves more credit for what they do! There are a lot of great bands that deserve more credit. :)
@AshesToAshes13
Yeah, I was embarrassed for them. I kept laughing that CC picked Andy up bridal style out of the pit. I really was ashamed of them for that. But it was just a mistake, that they shouldn't make again.
@Mrs. Rocker69
You're probably the first BVB fan who has one bit of sense. Congratulations. I can't argue any of your points.
@BVBsucks
Lol, thanks.... I guess.
Well, BVB isn't my favorite band. They are just one the not so heavy bands I like. I personally like more metal bands like Five Finger Death Punch, KoRn, Slayer, Amon Amarth, Gorgoroth, etc. :)
@Mrs. Rocker69
It was cute as hell. I saw them live recently and it was a damn good show. CC and Andy interacted a lot on stage and it was fun! They all enjoy what they do, they had smiles a mile wide. Ashley smiled at me. They're really cool.
Ok so we have a troll problem again, best thing to do is ignore everything they post. They'll soon get bored and bugger off if they don't get a reaction, and yes I am aware that a lot of you will feel the need to defend the band but that will make it worse. This person is just an immature little child with nothing better to do with their time other than troll sites of a band that are infinitely more talented than them. Like Andy said in Vancouver, the times that the haters are called out they never do anything. So why feed the troll when it'll make them hang around pissing everyone off even longer. This is gunna be my only post on the matter as I've fought the trolls about 4 times in this site now and it is getting old.
