After reading people saying "Stop trolling" when a person question another person about a topic, i was thinking of what you believe trolling is.
What is trolling?
Its a way of fishing... for problems.
A good troll will not be targeted as a troll (s)he will instead use other people to make the "discussions" for him/her.
Most likely ending up the topic getting locked.
A bad troll is very obvious. They lack skills in it and mostly "overdo" it. For example. Going to these forums and saying: Im going to cheat on my wife, please help me how to do it.
NO IM NOT LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO BASH MY MORALITY!!!!
Is overdoing it. Its obviously a person just looking to stir up problem asking on a place that is against cheating.
A troll can also "ignore" answering questions, avoid them and in the middle of a discussion change the way the topic go. A good troll and it wont be obvious, ofc now not all that do this trolls. Its more obvious if you know what you look for. But still this is humanity never get shocked if you hear something completely dumb. There is lots of people in the world. Some one have to have done some crazy dumb thing after all...
My friend who is a "good" troll. (he know what he is doing) its like a hobby for him. Wont get banned. People wont ever know what hit them. He will find a "weak" spot and let some one else press the buttons for him.
Any how this is me and my friends opinions and i have lots of forum experience. Yieks!
What trolling not is:
Attacking some one else
spamming
thats another category but still its NOT TROLLING.
Thanks!
Feel free to discuss / talk and blabalbalblablabal or what ever you do ^^ i will reply when i have time. Now ofc just so you all know troll = person that is going to stir up problem. But every one have difrent opinions what "problems" is.
