According to [Pratchett](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unadulterated_Cat), for Cartoon Cats, it’s binka-binka-binka.

Our new friend Chicken Dinner is not happy about Biden’s announced intent to select a “black female” to be the next SC Justice, particularly as the SCOTUS already has an African-American and a woman (three, actually) on it. And then ran immediately to ATMB when I suggested that referring to women as “females” was creepy.

Probably not a troll but someone who just joined four hours ago immediately starting an ATMB thread about a triviality may be a red flag. The jury [sic] is still out.

And now I’m pretty sure we’re into troll territory. And the ATMB thread just got closed.

Be careful about that of course. But I didn’t check the thread that thoroughly.

_I just checked. I wouldn’t have even modnoted you for your posts in that thread._

@Chronos gets the credit for this Trock catch. I just placed it in the cornfield.

Yeah, I think that credit for this one was just a matter of who happened to be online when. Had today not have been a snow day, I’m sure some other mod would have taken care of it by the time I got home.

Now I feel bad for momentarily giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Next newbie that comes along with a slightly questionable thread, I’m going to immediately run through here shrieking “TROOOOLL!!!” like Professor Quirrell at Hogwarts.

Would you mind if I just had a quick peek at the back of your head?

With the way Discourse works, I’m genuinely curious if there are troll/sock/spam hunting badges.

And, while I’m in this forum: don’t you just _love_ how Chrome’s new Microsoft-powered spellcheck can’t figure out that `hutning` might actually be hunting?

It just shows `hutting`, `hinting`, and `haunting`. I keep reporting to Google that I think something is wrong with how it detects the most likely word.

Troll Hunters Badge would be kind of fun but no mechanics for it that I know of.
