Tool 6: Code of Positive Trolls

The bridge tool — the only one that sits between Detection (Tools 1-5) and Adjudication (Tools 7-12). The Code of Positive Trolls is the algorithm that powers both the Incoming and Outgoing Troll Radars. Its six elements — Generosity, Ethical Discipline, Patience, Joyous Perseverance, Focus, Insight — are derived from The Six Perfections (OUP, 2009). Each element becomes its own Adjudication tool (Tools 7-12). If a meme passes all six tests, it is Counter Disinfolklore. If it fails any one, it is Disinfolklore or Neutral.
