trolling: to lay out bait and pull it along- from the fishing analogy
troll: one who flamebaits, or trolls for flames and board wars. Trolls generally show up, post something exceedingly controversial and/or insulting or obscene and sit back, waiting for the replies. The seasoned ones will manage to provoke a 'war' on the forum btwn members... we had one who claimed to be a misguided kid but posted filfth all over the board... he/she managed to have some members feel sorry for him/her and some angry ...result.. troll got to see members disagreeing on how to deal with it. Memnoch and Ziroc recognized a true troll after we reported it and the problem was taken care of quickly.
We've had our share of Big Bagger types too. Those who deliberately disrupt a forum with insulting posts and spoilers.
The first thing I learned here on IW, was that it was a troll free haven and Memnoch promised me it would stay that way.. so far, he's been right! [img]smile.gif[/img]
