AOLamer

An AOLamer or AOL Lamer is a person using AOL that posts flamebait or other Off topic messages in a newsgroup in order to disrupt the newsgroup.

During the early 1990s, many regular non-AOL internet newsgroup users routinely killed all messages coming from AOL as many of the messages coming from AOL were non-informative.
