Various users have different motivations for trolling. A common factor to 
most of them is the desire to draw attention to the troll. Inflammatory, 
sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other 
users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The more 
attention the troll's activities draw from users, the more persistent the 
troll's behavior in the forum. This gives rise to the often repeated 
protocol in internet culture: "Do not feed the trolls."
