How to Be a Troll-thax to >WikiHow.com

We all have experienced that satisfying moment when a prank successfully achieves that desired irritable response. That moment where the person being pranked knows they've been deliberately pranked by a well-thought-out and well-executed plan. Trolling can take almost any form, so it’s important to prepare for each form of trolling independently. That being said, there are a few elements that are relevant to almost all forms of trolling, regardless of the medium that’s being trolled. Pulling a fast one online or in games is often referred to as "trolling" and this article on how to be a “troll” will teach you how to do that! Get started with Step 1 below or find more specific advice by checking out the sections listed above.

Part 1 of 4: Hiding Your Tracks
Don’t get reported. There are good trolls and there are bad trolls. You want to be a good troll. Griefing, flaming and generally being an annoying jerk will only get you reported and eventually banned. If you want to remain in the community, be funny, be clever, and be a troll that people enjoy watching. Know your audience, know what they will expect and tolerate and you will be able to bring smiles and lols to everyone.
Making a moral point with your trolls or making a game out of your trolling (for everyone else, not just you) is a good way to make your antics accepted within the community. You will be seen less as a douche bag and more as the class clown.

2Have lots of email addresses
You’re going to need lots of different accounts on each of the the various sites and games you plan on trolling. Usually a site will not let you start a new account with an email that is registered to a different account, so you’ll need an email for each account that you create on a site.

3Avoid connections between your accounts
Don’t use variations on the same screen name, don’t use the same password, and don’t use email addresses which are very similar. Essentially, don’t leave any evidence that your various accounts are connected. This will help keep all of your accounts getting banned if just one gets reported and caught.
