Time to Rate the Troll - this thread was a good variation of the shameful dilemma gambit, in this case pretending tax problems to get people with tax problems to out themselves and their experience.
Originality: 2/5 - The tax one has been done to death (MeFi, Fark, SA, 4chan, BBF within past 3 months) but 2 points for doing it in this context
Execution: 3/5 - Over the top, indications of insincerity, but again points for context and applicability
Countermeasures: 0/5 - No objections forestalled, decoy statements, or other subterfuge to make trolling more plausible
Rage Factor: 1/5 - Not one directed followup or emotional trigger, 1 sympathy point for assumed silent seething
Overall quality - 30% While not completely without merit, no significant lulz or madz were produced. The troll was not of sufficient quality to stand alone, and there was no follow-up with initial biters.
