Why do trolls exist..?
Why do trolls exist? Think about it: Why are there trolls in the first place? Where did the idea of trolling come from? Answer: Because it is both humorus and noticeable that some of what trolls actually post will be taken seriously by someone. see title of Q: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120306131041AAgwcYT You know that's a "troll" Q, but you just know some christian will look at that and say "Yeah. Why is that?" LOL
Why so many trolls on yahoo answers?
Used to wonder this also. It's so bad some times you just leave the site. The rules allegedly frown on trolling but honestly, nothing is ever done about it. I went through 140 questions on 3 different forums and found 2 questions one night that were worthy of answering. The rest were almost all duplicate questions, or rants.
How can the evil "Rev" wing wang woo woo troll be a top contributor to Religion forum?
Becoming a top contributor in any section has nothing at all to do with the quality, or correctness of the answer. All you need is quantity and a number of best answers. If questions are left to the vote by the poster, then any answer can become best answer, no matter the quality, correctness, or relation to the original question. All an answer needs is to gain one more vote than any other answer. If all best answers were chosen by the originator of the question before the "open" period expired, then, I am sure that many Top Contributors and those at the top of leader boards, would soon be bereft of their badges and positions.

Do GOOD Trolls - skillful ones - deliberately misspell words in their Qs and As?
So as to imply that the people they're satirizing are stupid? Just today, I've seen 2 examples of this. One was apparently by a liberal troll, who posted under the avatar "White Christian Patriet," as if nobody ever taught him to spell the word "patriot." The second one was apparently by a conservative or maybe a white racist troll, who misspelled the word "vote" in a question asking: "If I be black, do I have to vot for Obama?" Does this brand of satire -- the use of bad spelling to suggest that one's opponents are too ignorant to write simple English words correctly -- strike you as politically persuasive? Or does it make you feel sorry for the trolls who do it? Or does it mostly make you irritated at people who seem to insult your intelligence?
How come the Russian trolls who influenced the US elections spoke fluent American English?
English is the international language. The ability to communicate in English fluently is not particularly uncommon among bright, ambitious young people in Russia and the former Soviet states, particularly those with a longstanding interest in computers and/or anglosphere countries. Their writing ability, which is all that mattered for this endeavor, could also exceed their speaking ability.None of the images at that link contains long or complicated text. If there was a question on the grammatic or semantic viability of a phrase, the trolls could google it and test out whether, for example, a word appears most often online with or without an article (“a” or “the”) or if the words they were using hung together as a phrase. When you’re only writing text with one or two sentences, this isn’t difficult.Some troll farms likely had one or more employees who served as editors, whose English is impeccable and who had final approval of the text in all of these ads. With the ease of email, this editor could have been in a centralized location far from the troll farms. As far as the on-target and of-the-moment cultural references (such as to Black Lives Matter), of course the US is an open book and Russians have as much access to US media as Americans do.As long ago as the 1950s, the Soviet government was broadcasting on shortwave radio and publishing reams of printed material in fluent, impeccable English. It’s not difficult to see how Russians could generate this sort of content in fluent English today.
