Gold account trolling is a sub-style of trolling and is mainly used for idiots who think /b/ has even more to offer.

Summary

This trolling method isn't too common; it is aimed at noobs who want to be cool and show off. Once they see this picture they proceed to google the hell out of it. This provides the REAL cool people with time to do whatever they do best.

This also has another effect. If the moron comes back to the thread and asks about how to get it. People will laugh and many lulz will ensue.

Typical Gold Troll

• You can edit your own posts with a 4chan Gold Account.
• 4chan Gold Account membership allows you to bypass wordfilters.
• 4chan Gold Account members can interrupt the posts of non-Gold Account members in order to create more successful combos.
• Ban appeals are more likely to succeed for 4chan Gold Account Users.
• Gold Account holders have a larger choice of uploadable files, excluding only executables and certain scripts
• Gold Account holders have an option to "lock out moderation", meaning only moot and the poster can delete that post
• "#gold" goes in the e-mail field.
• Gold Account members can upgrade to a Diamond Account, while regular members cannot. The advantages of this are that Diamond is the hardest Metal known to Man.

The 4chan Gold Account was created by moot on December 6th, 2007 as a requirement to view certain images as part of the 4chan Improvement Drive. This improvement drive consisted entirely of the Gold Account and redesigning the front page to make it moar user-friendly to Web 2.0 noobs swarming to 4chan from Digg after someone posted a 4chan thread.

Examples

Victim: Oh hey guys! Look at my awesome JPGs!!!!1

Victim: *leaves to go google it*

Troll: LOL

or...

Victim: Oh hey guys! Look at my awesome JPGs!!!!1

Troll: *Posts the gold account pic*

Victim: How can I get that?

Everyone: LOL

If this is used on 13 year olds, it almost always works. There is no challenge to it.

Origins

This form of trolling was most likely made after the cancerous preteens came to /b/. The trolls on 4chan obviously caught wind of this tension and invented this method.

Current status

It isn't used a lot at the moment but it may still be found if you LURK MOAR.
