Trolls (???)

[pamziaw]

Could anyone please tell me what one is?? I've been trying to find out, I gather its a bad thing and I can't seem to find anywhere on the site that tells you.

Here's a good site that talks about trolls.

That's an interesting link CavySpirit, thank you! I also found this link from that site worth a read: http://members.aol.com/intwg/flamewars.htm

I have also been wondering what this means for quite a while. I am just imagining a big old mean troll eating billy goats gruff.
Now I finally know what It means I think I know a few trolls..

I too had always wondered what the exact definition of a Troll was, and I had always wondered if maybe I was something of aTroll but as it turns out I am more of a Lurker although I sometimes post but will usually just read all the info on Forums such as this one. Is that considered to be a bad thing ?

I would not say so Solebomber as by just reading the forums you are not causing problems whereas a troll does causes problems by posting stuff that will cause upset and distress.

Nope, in fact it is best to lurk on a forum for a while to get introduced to rules, catch up on posted subjects and some of the personalities you will encounter. I lurked for a while before I ever posted and it helped me to become the towering menace of a mod that I am today.

Besides, frivolous posting can be distracting. I prefer to post only when I have something to say that I believe is worth reading.
