Key

What do you guys think of "Septrolling", as it were? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm referring to the, somewhat expertly executed trolling done by some of the hardened and veteran members. Threads that suggest outrageous things and are not found to be troll threads until the 7th page or not at all.

In my opinion, I like it. I like to see that the actual, refined, and (usually) polite community that is the Community Forum show all the exclusively floodian BNetters that they can troll better than them*. I mean, bad attempts at it by some of the newbies are pretty annoying and laughable at times but overall I like it.

What are your thoughts?

Just figured I'd mention that the idea for the thread was brought on by prometheus's post here.

Edit: I realize I've not accurately described the term "trolling" in my OP. I'd like to make it clear that this does not mean that I do not know what the word means, and that, for reference, I would like to provide this.

Only the foolish fall for trolling. Besides, your simply getting the definition wrong. " a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community" None of those things happen here on the septagon.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I am outraged by these accusations! This is unreal. Sir I think you owe us all an apology.

Exactly! I've always seen The Reach Forum as the superior forum in terms of intellectual, communal and fulfilling conversation.

I find the concept of this category of trolling ironic in it's own concept.

I like to think only us intelligent members are able to achieve mythic. I've noticed there are very few stupid blue bars around.
