I can get paid to troll?

[Nwolfwood]

Seriously, that is what I feel this article is telling me.

any thoughts?

 

[DeadlyYellow]

Really? From my glance through it seemed more like a pay to moderate deal.

No, you'd get paid to clean up a trolls mess. Did you read the article you posted carefully?

Wonder how long before someone mentions Yahtzee... I was tempted I'll admit

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I think you and i have read different articles because from what i gather they get paid to get rid of trolls and the like.

You just did mention Yahtzee!.. Fuck, so did I! Besides, Yahtzee doesn't get paid to troll, he gets payed for, and I quote, "assing around in a dressing gown."

I would normally say something more on topic, but...

Ricky Bess spends eight hours a day in front of a computer near Orlando, Fla., viewing some of the worst depravities harbored on the Internet. He has seen photographs of graphic gang killings, animal abuse and twisted forms of pornography. One recent sighting was a photo of two teenage boys gleefully pointing guns at another boy, who is crying.

Bad flashbacks can cause you to stop reading these things.

That sounds like a horrible job, not worth $8 hour...

how carefully did you read this article? like, did you read it at all?

I assume the real question here is: how much is he getting paid for this? Such behavior must be a sort of initiation ritual, or something.

...what?

Think about it.
The OP posted a thread with a non-sequitur news article, which could be indicative of intending to troll, and asks, "Could I get paid to troll?" Its probably not the case; I was just trying to make a joke. I must not be funny.

Minium wage isnt worth being scum. And the amount that being scum requires is to high for them to even consider paying.

 

[JanatUrlich]

I reckon I could do it. Beats a normal office job haha

 

[Xyliss]

I don't understand how you came to the conclusion that you can get paid to troll from this...unless I read it completely wrong

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

And here I thought the verbal trolling we got was bad... I'm glad SOME people out there take this shit seriously though.

I think Erana got it right when stating how much is the OP getting paid to troll here.

I actually got paid once to troll a music forum, ironic thing is I was so good after 3 weeks they offered me modship, I then had to clean the shitstorm users I'd created, I basically had an army of idiots worshiping me, pretty cool and I got paid by two different parties through fear of reprisal since I had intimate knowledge of both parties transgressions.

I'd do it. I'm a jobless child of the online generation.
