The existence of '''troll culture''' is disputed, but not at Consumerium where it is alive and well. Some basic cultural principles of trolling:
*never acknowledge authorship of anything, only ask if it is correct or fair
*never ask about authorship of anything, only ask if it is correct or fair
*never log in, ever, except perhaps to upload picture, then ditch the ID
*if you are forced to log in, use "troll" in your name so that other [[trolls]] can see that you are a troll, proud of it, and standing tall
*be as hilarious as possible, ideally employing [[sarcasm]], [[irony]] and [[paradox]] to the maximum
*try to document procedures in [[troll song]]s that anyone can easily sing
*come up with as many new definitions as you can for the verb "[[to troll]]"
*oppose [[sysopism]] with [[trollist]] ideology
*where necessary invent [[trollish]] language that other trolls will learn, and use to coordinate without sysops really knowing what is going on
*encourage [[friendly troll]]ing and always help [[troll-friendly]] wikis
*be especially sure to help out projects like [[Consumerium]], which rock

The [[world trolling anarchization]] and [[Wikipedia red faction]] appear to be two obvious manifestations of troll culture. The jury's still out on [[SOLLOG]] or the [[GNAA]], but over time, they'll probably come around...
