  1. Common trolling techniques
  2. Skinwalking- Someone wears the “skin” or identity of another with the intent to harm them or their reputation. Can include things like saying questionable things or advertising in other threads where self-advertising is disallowed.
  3.  
  4. Rrats- (i.e., fictitious narrative) A lie created based entirely on falsehoods or misrepresentation of facts. Asserted as truth. Well poisoning.
  5.  
  6. Archive circular proofs- A schizo can take a rrat posted in a thread and at a later date use the archived post as “proof” of the same rrat which is being asserted again.
  7.  
  8. Listing- Lists aren’t always malicious, but they easily can be. A schizo can find lists of problematic individuals and attach new names of harmless individuals onto the end of it. Guilt by association.
  9.  
  10. Tierlisting- Tierlists aren’t always malicious, but they can include many rrats or falsehoods. Another associative technique for asserting something.
  11.  
  12. Toxic positivity- Schizos can maliciously post positive comments about targets to “shit up” or spam a thread, creating a negative association with the “fans” and community of a target.
  13.  
  14. Baiting- Very common. A schizo will offer an often inflammatory or untrue statement and bait a target or their friends into engaging. Baiting with positive comments/compliments can also be used to see if a target is in the thread. A response to the compliments can lead to further targeting.
  15.  
  16. Dogpiling- A schizo or group of schizos spams comments about a specific target once engagement is found or when a target is discussed, leading to a majority of posts being in line with a given rrat, even if untrue. Leads to worsened perception of the target. Well poisoning. Associated with “posting on cooldown,” but not always apparent. (Cooldown is the time necessary between making posts).
