A troll is someone who makes an outrageous and/or offensive statement for the sole purpose of stimulating anger in people.

This place is pretty good since they don't tolerate blatant trolling however if your not to offensive and are witty enough in your wording you can get away with it. Bet the mods enjoy it from time to time too.

Seretogis, one of our members, has come up with this:



He has put the troll stamp on several threads, and seems to have a good nose for those smelly, green monsters.

Search for "troll" and see what comes up in the politics forum. Many of the troll-infested threads have been locked in order to prevent the trolls from propogating, and you can also find many of these threads by looking for the locked thread icon in politics ()

A troll is a nasty, ugly, mean creature who hides under bridges and eats small children and kittens.

Like this:

Spartak

Everytime you masturbate..... Spoiler: George W. EATS a kitten

Very nice, Trisk! That post was a Meta-Troll!

Trolling about trolls. Genius!

Evolution is false, god has a plan for gays: AIDS, John 3:16!

Are all classic trolls, where topics are hijacked for the sake of controversy.
