Did you know "Dallas" is just "Salad" spelled backwards with an extra "L"? Makes sense if you think about it...until you realize how fat the people in Dallas are.

Yea I was waiting for that one. I just wanted to hear from a mod because like I said on this site, their interperation would be the prevailing one. But I agree that I'd be surprised if they would actually spell out a defintion, because then they may paint themselves into a corner. But thats part of the problem isnt it? By not giving a definitive answer they actually create confusion in the forums as to what is and isnt trolling. I am sure that the majority of trolling cases are obvious to all but what about the other times. WHat about the times someone is holding to something they feel is true? Or the times when a group is having a civilized but strongly debated discussion?


Round and round she goes......

Unless youre from Xeslanayag. Then its hilarious.

On topic: Trolls come in many shapes and sizes. I prefer to not liken them to spammers and/or flamers, but everybody has to come to thier own conclusions.

Trolls often post statements that are contradictory to the general consensus of whatever forum they inhabit in order to ellicit responses. Somewhat akin to trailing your fishing line behind a boat waiting for a sucker to bite. A worthy Troll will maintain his composure while the regular forum goer loses thiers and ends up getting a BL while the Troll walks away unscathed. This what Troll means to me.

I suppose a quick definition of a troll is: Someone who intentionally posts to get people angry.

Such as someone coming into the H3 forum saying "Halo 3 sucks! PS3 is better!"

Sure, it doesn't make loads of sense, comparing apples and oranges, but it sure sets some people off.

Trolling. Luring them under your bridge.. I dunno. Interpret as you will.

Yes there are. I'm the guy drinking coffee with a Burger King crown on in one of the death scenes. I wasn't scared at all though. I just drank my coffee.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

"Stupid" is the operative word to define Troll. Troll is a fantasy creature with strength on their side but they are exceedingly stupid. They were also feared by many people. Now, take the word "Forum" into consideration. Forums are places where we discuss stuff.

Now connect the definition of Bungie.net Forum (A place where we tall about Bungie. We are all considered members) and Troll (A stupid creature).

As I said, everyone has thier own definition. Whether thier definition is correct is a whole different thing.
