Less trolls nowadays?

[Nebulous]

Do you think trolls are less common in today's forum world?

Did you see more people trolling forums 5 or 10 years ago?

Do you think the fact that the average forum user is now over 30 years old has anything with the decline in trolls? Do you think a decline in teenagers using forums has anything to do with it?

I'd say it is on a decline.  The older user base and the less dominate spot in user engagement has likely pushed trolls to make a living on Social Media and other platforms.  But there are certainly still some around.

I don’t see as many now that you have mentioned it. I’ve seen a few that liked to create drama on forums but I do think they frequent Social Media more. Forums are not like they used to be. May be a good thing as far as trolls are concerned.
