how to deal with it: ignore them: trolls thrive on attention. not reacting denies them the satisfaction theyre seeking. call them out: respond with something like: "repeating 'zing' isnt as clever as you think. care to actually engage, or is that the limit of your wit?" match their energy: if youre in a playful mood, you could respond humorously: "ah, the prophet of zing returns! what cryptic wisdom will you bestow today?" move on: focus on meaningful discussions with other posters. spammers often stop when theyre ignored or overshadowed by more substantive conversation. what it reflects: spamming "zing" might signal boredom, apathy, or an intent to derail discussions rather than contribute. its a common phenomenon in spaces like /pol/, where trolling and irony are almost as central as the topics themselves. 2/2
