sleeper troll

A sleeper troll is one who has infiltrated into the target online community and 'gone to sleep', sometimes for many months even years.

Often times the sleeper troll may appear to be in general agreement and in group solidarity of belief or sentiment with the targeted online community.

It is usually only after the targeted online community has suffered some form of set back or upset that the sleeper troll shows it's true idenity as a troll pouncing on the opportunity with the intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Troll operatives can be used in varied forms. Hidding behind internet pseudonyms, a troll could be someone employed by political operatives, attorneys in civil letigations, civil rights cases, workers compensation cases, social security case, etc.

A common practice of the troll is the 'gaslighting' technigue:
Gaslighting is a form of intimidation or psychological abuse in which false information is presented to the victim, making them doubt their own memory and perception.
Sleeper trolls pretend to be part of an online community and in time show their true idenity as a troll by disrupting the community.

Troll Mode

Troll Mode refers to a setting in online chat rooms where the room moderator can pre-eliminate anyone who would try to type negative comments to deter from the chat topic. If Troll Mode is active, then users who are not regulars and try to type sexist, racist, or otherwise negative comments will automatically be timed out or have those comments removed immediately. Although some comments may be meant as a joke of sorts (like a prank) it actually distracts chatters and viewers of live streaming experiences. Troll Mode may help live broadcasters and chat room moderators purge those derpy or just plain stupid comments before they can actually add such to the room.
"After the first silly comment was seen, the chat room moderator turned on Troll Mode to prevent any more negative or off-topic comments from being added by those who are not regulars to the room."
