seeding troll

A type of troll, whose specialty is to throw in the first “Remove me” response to an email sent to a large distribution group (typically by mistake), with the malicious intent of starting an email avalanche of other (genuine) “Remove me” responses and the (always futile) "Please stop replying to all" follow-up responses.

After 48 hours of no reactions, our seeding troll was able to ignite the largest email mayhem to-date.

Troll Seed

The first bait comment of a troll in a forum to provoke responses to their desperation for attention.

Examples of troll seeds: "Any person(s) are stupid." "Any person(s) are traitors." "Any person(s) are racist." "Any person(s) are sexist."
