I am also co-authoring a book with Peter Ludlow called Griefer Wars that focuses on trolling and griefing in online and virtual spaces. But not published yet...

Hi Tom, It is on the old side (talks about trolling in UseNet etc.), but I think Judith Donath's "Identity Deception in the Virtual World" from Kollock and Smith (eds.) Communities in Cyberspace is really really excellent. It talks about how trolling is a form of identity signaling/identity deception with specific community level ramifications and goals. It is absolutely worth a read and quite highly cited (~910 cites). In fact, I imagine perusing the google scholar list of articles that cite it would be of help to you as well. Here is an html version of the paper: http://smg.media.mit.edu/people/judith/Identity/IdentityDeception.html

Hello everyone,
I am new to Internet research, and I was wondering if anyone had published anything on "trolling"? Trolling is a big problem in the blogosphere, and I am interested in ways to combat it.
I come from a bioinformatics background, and I have devised an experiment, based on randomized double-blind controlled trials, to test the various ways to combat trolling. Would anyone be interested in such a trial?
Thanks,
Tom
