The [[Lowest Troll]] is whatever troll consistently favours the '''New Troll''' over the most trusted longstanding user. Empowering this troll is the only way to prevent an [[insider culture]] from eventually skewing and biasing a [[large public wiki]], as there is thus no advantage whatsoever to those who suck up to power. This is the most [[troll-friendly]] of the [[wiki best practices]]. | The [[Lowest Troll]] is whatever troll consistently favours the '''New Troll''' over the most trusted longstanding user.

Typical classifications of the New Troll point of view include at least: | |||
*"[[idiosyncratic]]" - the infamous [[google test]], which among other things excludes any discussion of [[theory of conduct]] | |||
*"[[unverifiable]]" - rarely or never raised with respect to authority's views | |||
*"[[unattributed]]" - extremely selectively applied, if a view is that stated without attribution by the [[mass media]], it will typically not be challenged. | |||
*"[[crazy]]" or more [[psychiatry]] derived language | |||
*"[[political]]" (what isn't) | |||
*"[[POV]]" - yes, so what? [[Community point of view]] is still a POV, and that's what [[neutral point of view]] amounts to when one is done "enforcing" - what is not challenged by these particular users is "neutral" by definition...!??! | |||
