A slightly less trollish alternative, which I attribute to Penny Arcade but can't easily source, is to post the wrong answer to a question. This prompts people to prove themselves smarter than you by providing the correct answer.
In the example I remember, it was related to finding quest details in World of Warcraft. If you ask in General chat "where is the foo?" you will be met with flames and rtfm-style responses, but if you say "the foo is in [wrong location]" out of the blue, you'll receive a cacophony of corrections.
