Best way to tell a poster is a troll.

A lot of us got suckered in yesterday by a person who was a troll. He had this thread going on all day until he posted the same thing this morning and we go suspicious. He had us all going with a major pity party for him. Just now he abruptly deactivated his account. Are there any tell tale signs that someone is lying?

    Wow, that is crazy!!!
    Honestly I dont think there is a way of catching someone lying on here until they show their hand and there isnt a doubt.

    There is a guy on here who was pretending to be about weightloss..... then all of a sudden he started sending me pervert messages :) yeah....go to love learning the hard way.

    If their avatar looks like this, it's a tip off.

    yup, if you take anything too seriously, you deserve what you get.
