Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Amazing example.


These are good examples of trolling that give me a good laugh.


There's Flood 'trolling', and then there's Septagon trolling. Flood trolling should be banned just on the basis of how bad it is, and not content. Septagon trolling is an art form.


Nice try
Trying what? He's simply right.

Facts is facts, ya dig.

Of course. Why would you take away something that everyone enjoys?

Obviously, Fabled Heroic is top of the chain.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Skillful trolling is something that can only be truly pulled off by a handful of members here, and no, when it happens, we do not ban for it, as has already been pointed out a few times in this thread.

The "example" in the third post is not an example of skillful trolling. CrazzySnipe's link to Primo's post is.

I don't really care for any kind of trolling, but if it's not doing any harm, I wouldn't see the problem with it.

True skillful trolling is about all we have left here in the dark, it is truly original and very hilarious, especially when you remember that the internet is serious business!

Trolling makes no contribution to the community, and assists no other users. It's a deviant practice, and should be dealt with like excessive flaming.

Eh, I guess. I mean, any trolling at all should be banned, because trolling can't provoke any substantial discussion. Perhaps, if someone were to propose an idea using satirical rhetorics, but even then, it's probably TOO much for this community.

  • 09.24.2012 5:13 PM PDT

As long as trolling is done more playfully and experimentally rather than maliciously, I have no problem with it. That being said, there is leeway and gray area in most things on the internet.

Clockman was amazing!

I say go for it, though eventually they should slowly phase out...running the same joke for months might just make it sour.



Clockman was way too good.


Should master trolling be allowed? Yes. Should blatantly obvious trolls with no self esteem be allowed? Maybe.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Happens in this forum all the time.

Old members have a very dry sense of humour.

Can someone point out the "no trolling" rule in the rules for me? I don't see it.
Some instances of "trolling" can violate the "don't be a jerk" rule. But, other than that, stuff like the Primo thread I linked are perfectly legal, imo.


Trolling does not always mean harassment.
I don't know who is arguing what here but if anybody thinks there is a clear cut definition between trolling and not trolling they're under the false security of ideological assumption. One could argue sarcasm is a form of trolling FFS. I think the point is that if it's not a big deal (in other words, not violating the "don't be a jerk" rule), it's not really important in the context of this forum to consider "trolling."

Skillfull trolling is allowed because a skillfull troll will get people to rage without breaking any rules.

Skillful trolling will get others banned.

Key

You just contradicted yourself. Do skillful trolls cause or not cause people to get banned?

This world wants to drag you down... And the weight, that guilt they want to hang around your neck, you don’t have to carry it one more step. You think they won’t let you rest, but it’s not up to them. It never was.

How do we know we were definitely being trolled by the Clockman story? Did we just assume so because no one found him?

OT: As others have said, as long as you're trolling doesn't count as spam, or being a jerk, there's no issue with it.

Son, I would have been banned a long time ago.

So, it depends on who you are trolling. The moderator does that all the time nowadays.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

I agree with LF2.

I maintain that satire is equivalent to the height of trolling, and "trolling" should be allowed if the poster can meet that mark.

@Vinyl_Hb

A good troll goes undetected, therefore, no ban.

Skillful trolling is already allowed, the most skillful trolls are never revealed to be trolls.

Funny story.

Satire doesn't mean trolling. Trolling is anything that is said with the intent of enraging the ones reading.

Satire is just humour. Skilful trolling is someone that is pretending to to not understand your valid points, he would be undistinguishable from a genuine idiot. There is no difference between it and an undesirable poster.
