The New Trolling Organisation, or NTO, is an unofficial online group that deals in the organisation and coordination of cyberbullying, commonly known as 'trolling'.

Details
It is thought that the NTO is administered much like any other large-scale organisation, with ranks, designations and subsequent missions/tasks. Designations in the NTO are not unlike those of a medieval army, with ranks such as 'footsoldier'. The NTO is headed by a 'circle of leaders', composed of four users. Two have currently been identified. One is the Spore user MrPropoganda, and another is the SPore user -End_Void-. Other known members include Spore users Reblon, ItAllGood, Biotic0_0Demon and Tylonians. The members of the NTO are known for using an unique writing style, where the first letter of each word is capitalized. For example: This Is The Writing Style Of The Members Of The New Trolling Organisation.

Activities
The members of the NTO are often tasked with objectives such as downrating, petty activities that are designed to lower the self-esteem of the targeted creator. However, some 'trolls' are also ordered to perform verbal abuse on their targets. The reasons behind the activities of the NTO members are not known, but it may possibly be due to the targeted victim being against cyberbullying, or having annoyed one member of the NTO.

Motives
The initial mission of the NTO has generally been to 'rid the Sporepedia of users who spam the Most Popular New list with RP creations'. This refers to those whom release press releases without 'gaprop' tags. Often, users have left the Sporepedia due to the abuse given to them by members of the NTO, such as bradley30, who was reported to have been highly depressed by his negative experiences from 'trolls'. Despite the rather direct motive of the NTO, some users can be targeted for (allegedly) no reason at all.
