Let’s say the troll mass reports people and says to mods he’s being slandered just to shut the evidence down hoping the mods don’t look at the incriminating links (to his own content) before banning the people calling him out. The troll posts actual slander on their victim’s posts, and if the victim has blocked them the troll posts the slander on their own profile while name dropping them and also replying to other people with slander about the person. If the victim calls the troll out the troll says the victim is slandering them and reports them for harassment.

Also, is there a name for when trolls do this?

      I used to think that, but this troll in particular posts slander/accusations on the victim’s posts to make the victim look bad. If the victim blocks the troll the troll posts the slander on their own profile or to other people, all while name dropping them. Then if the victim calls the troll out the troll claims they’re the one being slandered and harassed and they mass report the victim for harassment.

        Who gives a shit if the troll posts slander on their own profile about the victims? Just don’t go to their profile. Problem solved.
