I've seen "trolls" identified a few times since I've been hanging out on here the last few weeks and I sort of know what you mean - but I'd appreciate a good definition from the really experienced members on here.

Who are trolls? Why are they?

Basically its someone who posts merely for a rise from other posters like Boris and Joe Strummer recently.

Ah! Boris the bore. I thought he was a troll. Not even a witty one at that!

Troll:

A supernatural creature of Scandinavian folklore, variously portrayed as a friendly or mischievous dwarf or as a giant, that lives in caves, in the hills, or under bridges.

You would indeed know a troll when you saw one, but modern means of communication render tried and tested methods of visual identification ineffective.

In this day and age one needs to apply other cognitive processes for troll spotting and terminating, thus internet scientists developed the following definition:

On the internet, troll is a slang term used to describe:

  1. A post (on a newsgroup, or other forum) that is solely intended to incite controversy or conflict or cause annoyance or offense. (Many posts may inadvertently cause strife as collateral damage, but they are not trolls.)

  2. A person who posts these.

Much appreciated!

[and I hope that calling yourself "stroll" doesn't trigger any cases of mistaken identities! :D ]

I see trolling online the same as trolling when you go fishing. You put out some bait and see if anything is dumb enough to take it.

And sometimes I am. :o

"drag" members...what are you saying here? i'm into ladyboys, not drag :o youre right about the kickstart. some forums were rather dull until harry boy came along. ive realized after being kicked off every forum from south hampton to littlerock arkansas i had a problem. i joined ta or trolls anonymous.

1. ive admitted im powerless over trolling and me life has been unmanageable.

2. ive come to believe that a moderator greater than myself can restore me sanity.

3. ive made a decision to turn my hacking skills and isp over to the care of a moderator as i understand him.

i'm still working the rest of the steps. one day at a time, harry. one day at a time.
