we must differentiate between '''wiki spam''' which is externally motivated, and genuine "[[new troll]]s", those | we must differentiate between '''wiki spam''' which is externally motivated, and genuine "[[new troll]]s", those '''honestly attracted by the [[wiki mission]].''' Not the old trolls that started the wiki, because they '''neurotically thought they were the best people to control''' the wiki mission. By definition the new trolls are sincere, while the old trolls simply seek to retain power. In this view, a '''spammer''' is an old troll from the existing ''real world''' [[power structure]] of money and interests, who ''masquerades'' as a new troll. This makes new trolls look bad, and helps justify [[sysop vandalism]]; | ||
True trolls are made by [[troll-formative injustice]] and maintained by [[anti-troll bias]]. In general they do not make bald pro-corporate comments or link to commercial web sites unless they are truly the best reference on some issue. This is rare, and the rarity of it can actually be detected and used to determine who is a [[funded troll]] from the old power structure, and who is a genuinely concerned activist from the [[New Troll point of view]]. | True trolls are made by [[troll-formative injustice]] and maintained by [[anti-troll bias]].
