Jookster Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 (edited) Got an idea, someone who posts just to get a lot of response with no real interest? Is that correct? Edited December 5, 2006 by Jookster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Check out the forum rules, you'll be surprised at what you can find there. "Do not post inflammatory messages on the forum, or any attempt to disrupt discussions to upset its participants. The word, or its derivative, "trolling", is used to describe such messages or the act of posting them. " And in greater detail: "2. n. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, “Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll.”" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 From Wikipedia: In Internet terminology, a troll is a person who enters an established community such as an online discussion forum and intentionally tries to cause disruption, most often in the form of posting inflammatory, off-topic, insulting, or otherwise inappropriate messages. But also: A troll is a fearsome member of a mythical anthropomorph race from Scandinavia. Their role ranges from fiendish giants – similar to the ogres of England – to a devious, more human-like folk of the wilderness, living underground in hills, caves or mounds. Take yur pick.
