What the fuck is Forum Ghost?

[gmenknicks]

Can someone please explain to me exactly what a forum ghost is? And if its what I suspect why would someone engage in such idiotic behavior??

 

[festeringZit]

When someone creates another identity/user on here and posts under that ID.

why would someone need or want to do this??

Some people do it because their original user name might've been banned by a MOD. So they create a new name and come back.

Some wannabe touts do it (cough, stugato, cough) so they can go into their own thread as what seems like a different user and talk themselves up. I've seen that one done quite a few times. Liquid Return and The Legend Killer was a good one from back in the day. Two usernames but the same person that used to talk to each other/himself. LOL

Is a ghost and a troll the same thing?

Some people will create a ghost account so they can go trolling but being a ghost doesn't necessarily translate to also just being a troll.

I got ya

You need a ghost to troll but you don't need to troll if you are a ghost.

But why do you need a ghost to troll. Cant you see everything everywhere as a visitor.

I am ghosting but I don't really think I am trolling.

Also I am on post review...that kinda sucks.

 

[metsisastiff]

take me off post review...post reviewer.

You can't troll as a visitor because you can't post.

How are ya going to start shit if you can't post? LOL

To be honest it's highly unlikely you'll be taken off unless accusations against another poster, that cannot be proven, stops.

A troll or troller (cough Chris Paradise cough) is one who posts inflammatory messages for the sole purpose of trying to get under another posters skin.

Back at my homeland there is a thread with him and another. A season long thread containing a bet. When it came to pay everyone is asking where did mets go. And he has not been back since. What do you think about that as far as proof goes. Seems pretty solid to me.

 

[gmenknicks]
