Here are the Posting Guidelines's
| Quote: |
| 2. No trolling. Posts with the sole purpose of "stirring things up" will be locked and/or deleted. |
Forward, if you're posting your opinion and it does not violate the PG's there is nothing you can't say, anything goes.
Trolls are posters who come to a forum with nothing to add, their main purpose is to disrupt.

I'll chime in with a few more elaborations/quotes if I may...
- "A Troll is a poster who posts with the intention of raising someone's ire, and being argumentative. Often they'll go about it slowly, asking questions that sound genuine, and slowly getting people mired in an endless and pointless discussion."
- "A Troll is someone who doesn't like to see order and people getting along. Sometimes it's someone who craves attention, even negative attention being better than none. So they'll put up a post or a reply that has no truth to it, just to incite trouble."
My favorite:
- "Trolling is a fishing term, where you drag crap through the water and see what grabs it. That's what trolls do in newsgroups and chat rooms. If people and fish had sense, trolling wouldn't attract anyone."
