A '''new troll''' is a user who has gotten into one or more conflicts but is not clearly associated with any [[faction]] yet, or has deliberately denied being representative of any faction. Basically, it's just someone who has been called a "[[troll]]" or otherwise told their point of view is idiosyncratic or invalid, and who has not yet developed any steady allies or collaborators here. | A '''new troll''' is a user who has gotten into one or more conflicts but is not clearly associated with any [[faction]] yet, or has deliberately denied being representative of any faction.

According mostly to [[trolls]], the [[New Troll point of view]] is a real and coherent thing that can be established by [[consensus]] and keep [[large public wiki]]s from freezing into simple cliques of the existing participants. In this [[faction]]al view, the treatment of '''new troll'''s is central to all [[wiki governance]]. | According mostly to [[trolls]], the [[New Troll point of view]] is a real and coherent thing that can be established by [[consensus]] and keep [[large public wiki]]s from freezing into simple cliques of the existing participants. In this [[faction]]al view, the treatment of '''new troll'''s is central to all [[wiki governance]]. This view is strongly opposed to any imposition of [[community point of view]] or trusting any [[neutral point of view]] that the established "community" agrees with. But also there is the view that new trolls are pests and deserve no status or consideration, or that only those who [[use real names]] should get any help or only those who pay to keep things running should be able to edit any disputed article. | ||
