One who posts a subtly obnoxious message to a newsgroup or message board under the guise of being humanitarian or altruistic. Some posts are carefully worded to guilt the reader into responding in a positive manner. It's a subtle form of trollism relying on making people feel uncomfortable without being direct. The mole's seemingly innocent/positive posts are often allowed to stay out of fear of offending them, or the "attack" is too borderline and so everyone lets it slide. They may post something that in another context is fine, but paired in a context where it does not belong, which is the only thing causing it to be inappropriate, rather than the more direct and obvious provocative tactics used by an internet troll.
