Forms of appearance on the Internet

Usenet

Some ISPs limit the number of newsgroups to which a single message can be posted. One notable example is alt.net, which introduced cross-posting restrictions. The trolls on that system got so wild that Peter da Silva launched a campaign on other systems to stop sharing messages with alt.net until something was done to fix the problem.

Mailing list

The mailing list: administered mainly by moderators, unwanted participants are quickly removed.

Wiki

A flat, asynchronous open model that allows anyone to write anything. Users try to undo negative changes with out-of-the-box reverting tools, but this requires hundreds of volunteers to monitor a large, popular site. Trolls tend to be less visible than discussion groups and often provide legitimate material, but generate controversy by challenging the current power structure. Further complicating matters is the inability to determine whether a user is just expressing a controversial opinion or is a troll.

Weblogs

The most common form of personal pulpit where anyone can post comments, popular weblogs are effective springboards for trolls through inflammatory comments and provocative posts. The ease with which weblogs can be linked helps spread trolls.
