Serious question, if in the wrong Forum, please lock/ move.

Alright, so alot of us come on here daily, and discuss topics mainly in the Community Forum. We fight about many of the same things. Over, and over. It gets kind of old after a little while. Then, out of nowhere, comes the common "Forum Troll". They seem to spice of the Forums with humor, and obvious idiocy. Making most people laugh who do not have the responsibility of controlling them. I love trolls, but still feel they should be banned. I only love them for senseless humor. Do you like Bungie.net's Forum Trolls?

Of course. I've just got back from a two week ban for trolling, even.

I generally only go on the Flood, where trolls are everywhere. It gets really old after awhile.

I really don't care for trolls. They're humorous at times, but that's only when they aren't insulting.

There is a difference between someone who is being humorous and someone who is trolling.
Trolls typically are not trying to be funny for the enjoyment of others, but rather trying to get negative reactions for self gratification.

I do not appreciate trolls.

That's subjective.

This. I'm fine with with humor in these threads, I really am; I think we'd all go mad without a dose of humor spread throughout these forums. Trolls that are simply looking to stir up trouble, however, I could do without.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Trolls make the internet worth interacting with. Well, discussions and chats and the like.

We're it not for interesting trolls, I probably would never venture off tvtropes and wikipedia.

Though that said, as everyone knows, there are different kinds of trolls. The interesting ones do things you would not expect. Boring ones just start flame wars, or spam. I love the former most of the time, but the latter can crawl back under their rock and die. I call the former trolls, and the latter destructive. That is am important distinction. Since that is also so subjective a quality, its hard to really nail down an clinical appraisal of trolling most of the time.

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

This. I don't mind trolls if their intentions are just to have a good laugh, but if their purpose lies elsewhere, they gotta go. Anything harmful is a big NO NO.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

Yeah.

I lol at funny trolls and I ignore non-funny trolls. No cost, only profit. What's there not to like?

Sometimes they make this website fun to be around. Most times, they kill me a little inside.

Why do you even care about the bad ones?

  • 10.07.2011 12:29 PM PDT

Some trolls actually make my day with funny comments. Others are just not tolerable like this one guy who posted pornagraphic links to places.
